First off....I think this is CG, but I'm still not 100% sure. If anyone can find anything about the making of it, CG or not, I'd be very interested.
Anyways - new advert in the UK for the Honda Accord, featuring a wonderful Rube Goldberg machine. For those who don't know, an RG machine is something that accomplishes something extremely simple in an incredibly complex way - those who have played the Incredible Machine series will think this all looks very familiar.
The official site (http://www.honda.co.uk/newcars/accord300k.html) has a video, or you can get a Quicktime version (http://www.kickingtyres.com/greatest_ever_car%20_advert.mov).
Sidenote: The Way Things Go is a video release, with a number of these sort of things, which are definately not CG. Here's a nifty sample (http://www.rw-development.com/temp/thewaythingsgo-sample.avi
