2008 TSX commercial

I have never seen this commercial for the 08 TSX until I saw it looking at youtube.

I've seen that one recently, and also just a lot of Acura commercials in general. Kinda surprising, since they rarely seem to advertise, at least around this area (NJ).

It's interesting how directly aimed at late 20 early 30 year olds it is. I've heard that's who the TSX is marketed at but the car seems too age generic for it to have been designed that way. It's styling is nowhere near as targeted as the Scions or even Mazdas. That's one reason why I'm surprised to see so many teenagers on here who wax their TSX with cloth diapers rather than having tricked out Civics or WRXs. These cushy sedans are for us older types with achy joints and arthritis setting in.

Ad Critic: I think if they incorporated additional features such as Bluetooth, and the NAVI, it would have been a hit.

I agree, its target market segment is 20-30 year old Young Urban Professionals.

Kind of bland, like most Acura commercials. They always seem to focus on the goodies and not the cars performance. Too bad, because that's where the TSX shines, IMO.

I'm REALLY begining to think this is false advertising on their part. The 2008 brochure and press release says the 6 Disc Changer plays MP3s. The car does not... And now there is a commercial with a CD coming out of the computer being able to be played in the car. Of course the car can play an audio CD if burned that way, but it will not play MP3s. False and deceptive advertising leads to class action lawsuits...

Cushy? The TSX is cushy? I thought that was the test-driven Accord LX that was cushing my tushy....
