Default character in new sitcom drives an xB

This new show appears to be a great new office comedy! It premieres March 15th after American Idol. I caught a glimpse of one of the commercials, and at the end of it, the main character hops into what appeared to be an xB...it was a quick shot of a front windshield close-up, but it was hard to miss the speedo.

Sure enough, I pulled it up on fox's site, and the first 30 seconds of the trailer is nothing but a BCP box tooling thru chicago to a wacky soundtrack.

Set in Chicago, THE LOOP is the story of SAM (Bret Harrison), the youngest executive at the corporate headquarters of a major airline, and the first of his friends to get a real job. He must find a way to straddle his serious career and the serious social demands of his three roommates.

That is the same guy that played the boyfriend of the daughter on grounded for life. Should be a good show.

only problem is they mey not be shooting in Chicago. If anyone noticed, The airport looks like LAX. We don't have mountains in Chicago. Especially by O'Hare Airport. I was a bit disappointed in that. I think the only thing Chicago is the in between shots. But I haven't seen the show all the way thru.
