An advertisement screened during the Super Bowl featuring Ferris Bueller's Day Off star Matthew Broderick calling in sick had viewers speculating about a sequel, but it's just a clever play by Honda.

The most sincere form of flattery

The Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial – “Matthew's Day Off” Extended Version video, a well-produced spoof of the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off has Broderick using his sick day to hoon around town in a Honda CRV, whilst avoiding his boss.

Bueller enthusiasts will recognise more than a few scenes from the film.
