It is pretty to watch.

Amazing.
But the carwheels look suspect, after the third hits the forth, the third wheel stops and then countnues uppwards on the ramp.

It took them 606 retakes to finally get it right.
And teh car wheels are weighted: theres nuts and bolts positioned at the top, so when they're tapped the weights go off balance and cause the wheels to spin, pulling them up. As a whole, the centers of mass of the tires are moving down, but the maximum height of the tires is moving up. Its brilliant.

Is it just me, or does the new Honda Accord look a lot like the new Mazda 626??

That's just amazing. How many hours did it take just to plan everything out and figure out how to make everything work, let alone setting it up and working the bugs out and the 606 takes.

I love that ad, but I think the tires are a little too unbelievable.

Cool. It's like that one guy's overly elaborate inventions to do simple tasks. Gold something or other.

Rube Goldberg.

That was cute. I wonder what it has to do with cars, though.

One problem with the commercial: I remember the whole thing with all the components, and I remember that the car is a Honda, but I can't remember the model...
EDIT: For clarification, what I meant was 'I can't remember the model of the car ten seconds after the ad is finished...'

Wow, that's simply gorgeous. I just sent it to a whole bunch of my favourite engineers, so we'll see what they think of that.

Now that was just awesome.
Nice to see not every ad these days is trashy and pointless. They can still be entertaining!

It depends on how long it took to get to the point where it actually worked.

That was Fucking awesome man! By far Honda has the best products motorcycle wise. Just pound for pound. Seriously, think about this ad. If they put that much into it, think about how much they put into thier workmanship.
