reference to commercials done for eco friendly cars

this is a bmw commercial for a hydrogen car where a girl jumps into a pool in which bmw is parked and swims around it there is no indication of any water in the pool when she jumps and there is no splash or in the water either but the moment she she enters the pool she starts swimming around it - right at that moment you understand that there is a liquid nature to that car -



this is a saab commercial for their eco friendly car it runs on ethanol even thought they had the visuals and the bgm telling this they have a tag line at the end explaining how the car is eco friendly
