You are correct. It is fake. -For all the reasons you mention.Im thinking It was an actor as the used car salesman, Can you imagine any accidents or health issues like a heart attack with the salesman. Pepsi would be so liable I cant even contemplate that they would take that risk in this day and age. I may be wrong, I just can't see them both taking the liability risk. It was great though I loved it but in the back of my mind I kept thinking this couldn't be real. Hope i'm wrong
