Any one see the new Honda ad on air tonight? Shows this bizarre dude wearing a 60's racing suit, ridng all sorts of old Honda cars/ bikes etc singing The Impossible Dream. Very wacky, but I kinda liked it

Yeah, saw it here too. A very different style of ad but I agree - not too bad at all. Would be interesting to see a Ford equivalent, simply to see what was put in it.

I firth thought it was an add for chnl 7, then herbie (because of the race suite) but not for honda. Very different & i'm not sure what they are saying but very cleaver

Very clever...very expensive.....very interesting.
I thought it was going to be an ad for beer or something because the start of it is a bit corny. Surprised that an S2000 didn't make it in yet the NSX-R did? And their was no Civic either - there best selling car ever... |

Very good ad, well made and all but it left me pondering two things.
1. Why didn't they feature the Honda F1 car? 2. Why did they spend all that money on the ad, then decide they would only run it for 'one night only' between 6pm and 10pm on Channels 7, 9 and 10???

Great add indeed ... like many others it kept me watching the entire ad all the way through to the end .... even Bec commented how good the commercial was ... and she's not a car person.
I am sure I saw a quick snippet of the F1 car ... wasn't the entire car ... just the front corner (wheel/steering suspension as it flew past).

I thought that when the speedboat went over the falls he should’ve come up in the Honda jet plane – a joint venture with General Electric.

I thought the ad was great, at the start I was trying to guess what it was for.
