I saw that one too, really nice looking car, I usally am kind of half watching when I have the TV on (usually reading the paper or on the laptop), so the commercial would only catch my eye when the flashy red sports car appeared, so it took me a while to figure out what was going on, strong teeth on that girl.
We also had a TR4 in Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Sunbeam Tiger in the Get Smart Movie, and I think a AH 3000 in Transformers, so British sports cars are doing pretty well in the popular media, my facvorite though is when Peter Parker (in Spider Man) is looking for cars in the paper and his eyes go from the new cars to the ads for I believe a TR3, Big Healey, and Alfa sports car.
