There are NO computer graphics or digital tricks in the film you are about to see.
Everything you see really happened in real time, exactly as you see it.
The film required 606 takes.
The film cost 6 million dollars and took three months to complete.
Iis fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history.
Oh. .. about those funky windshield wipers: On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have
water sensors and are designed to start functioning automatically as soon as they become wet.

P.S. Some sharp-eyed folks claim that tires rolling UPHILL necessarily require computer-generated effects.
Not so. The sequence where the tires roll up a slope looks particularly impressive but is very simple.
There is a weight [in each] tire and when the tire is knocked, the weight is displaced and in an attempt
to rebalance itself, the tire rolls up the slope.

Yep! But your post gave us the occasion to talk about the wheels rolling uphill trick.

We came exactly to the same conclusion: there must be hidden weight.

What impressed me a lot was the final sequence with the Accord in perfect balance with hatch open! Such a fine balance...
