They may well have done some superimposing, but that one view isn't proof of it. I can't for the life of my remember the correct terms for this, but using camera lenses of different focal lengths will give you a different perspectives of a scene. Gah... it's not "
depth of field"... geez... gotta keep googling. LOL
EDIT - I was thinking of "perspective." A lens with a long focal length "compresses" the image, and the background seems closer. For examples,
check this page, and the "
Focal Length" section of this Wikipedia page.
So, for that shot of the car on the rooftop, they were probably using a long focal length with the camera mounted on a nearby building.
