I know it's L.A. but they really make L.A. look like an NYC type city lol.

Hmm... it looks a lot like downtown LA, where most of "Chicago" and "NYC" scenes are shot. Not sure where the gas station is.

I saw the Orpheum Theatre, which is located at: 842 South Broadway Los Angeles, CA 90014

A lot of it looks like sets, to be honest.

Lastly, there is a sign at :49 for the 145th Street Station, which is actually in NYC.

So, it was probably shot in LA, NYC, and in a studio.

Cute commrcial, but if I were the person paying for it, I'd question paying a lot of money for a commercial that conveys the image of the car being very small. "Big enough for the average rodent" is somethng the competition might use against it.

Definitely all shot in LA. Looking closer maybe that shot of the subway station is in NYC.

The residential buildings with stoops at the end of the spot (quintessential NYC) were most likely shot on a sound stage or edited in.

It is crazy how it seems like 90 percent of commercials are shot in LA - there is a reason the film industry set up LA as home base - you can get an urban/NYC style shot, a suburban/leave it to beaver shot, beach-side shots and rural shots.

The car wash and taco stand are on the corner of E. 7th and Wall St. in the Los Angeles Flower District.
