If you believe the marketing men had LFO fans in mind when they
selected the music, you must be a mentalist *LOL*

speaking of 'commercial techno', I caught a different version of the

GM's ad team reasoned that most members of the 'target audience' that
cut appeals to don't have 50 grand to burn on a vehicle -- and if
they did, it's not likely to be spent on a hulking, ozone-destroying
monstrosity of an SUV.
Are you sure it was the same spot? There are a few others airing that
feature "Debutante" by Jack Drag, "Enter Space bar" by Trabant,
"Bluebird of Happiness" by Mojave 3, "Help Yourself" by Tom Jones,
"Getting Closer to an Unknown Goal" by Rhythm of Snow, and "Happy
Jack" by The Who.
You have a point about LFO's appeal, of course.
