Car's paints haven't looked that glossy...ever, really. Odd velocities due to scale (road passes quickly while wheels don't rotate as quickly, etc). Odd focal length choices when compared to practical shoots. Wouldn't leaves blow around due to air turbulence around the car? Stuff like that goes a long way. Nicely done overall, just little things that get in the way. very obviously CG looking. Car’s paints haven’t looked that glossy…ever, really.

The CG work leverages very little of what normally decides that a spot be CG (except, of course, for the obligatory inside-the-engine shot). Further, the stylization of the CG is neither here (truly believable photo-real) nor there (stylization for creative effect). Perhaps it was budget? Big city helicopter shots are not cheap...
