Some sort of compact car is driving through a black and white city. Wherever it goes it leaves a wake of rainbows and stars and stuff, and the city turns to color behind it. I was trying to find a video of the commercial, but I can’t remember the make of the car or anything.

Sounds like an ad for Skittles.

I think it was a hybrid, like a Prius or the Civic Hybrid.
