Nah, it's fronted by a cartoon gecko with a South London accent. Can't see it taking off over here. Not without re-dubbing to remove the wide-boy Dixons salesman overtones. ;)

My good friend is a computer animator who worked on the Geico commercials. According to her, it's supposed to be a Cockney accent. Why? "Don't ask me, some marketing people thought it would work."
