This spot for the Hyundai Sonata by Innocean Worldwide out of Huntington Beach shows a city where everyone settled for the first thing that came along. Thus, it’s filled with things like brick (the Zack Morris) cellphones, zeppelins and silent films. If we all were to settle, says the announcer, then we would never have the Sonata, which is why when it drives through Anachronistic City, it’s the next best thing to a UFO sighting.
