Saw two new TSX commercials tonight!

They were both pretty slick. I liked the one where the guy was driving over rolling hills. Anyone else seen them? They probably have been on tv for a while now, I dont get as much time to watch the tv as I used to....poor me.

MrChad,

What did you think of Jay Leno's 1000 hp Toronado?
My father-in-law bought a new '66 Toronado and kept it; unfortunately it's pretty junky now.

I have a picture of my Grandfater in front of his Toronado in the winter in Iowa. He is showing of the snow chains on the front wheels. He told me that lots of people told him he put the chains on the wrong wheels! I always thought that story was pretty funny.

I like the zero G comercial. I would worry about the coffee spilling in the car though!

Zero G one is definitely new. Just saw it for the first time last night. It's pretty good.

I think it's one of the ugliest car I have ever seen, love the 1000hp but I'd much rather have seen the engine in some other kind of car.

The build was awesome (the interior was sweat) I'm just not a fan of that car. I think as soon as you made it not - FWD - what was the point, the car was no longer significant, a fully restored Toronato would have been more unigue IMO.

i totally disagree, that thing was sweet in my opinion. i just think it needed bigger rear tires to handle all that power. plus i wanted to see a showdown with the bentley!

Nice!

The Club commercial looks like it was shot in Toronto. Looks like the intersection of Bay and Queen in one shot.

The craft of the car was awesome, my only argument was if the only reason the '66 Toronato was "car of the year" was for the FWD V8....removing said V8 just makes it into any other mid 60's boat. Let's face it you could have dumped that vette chassis under any lead sled, why a FWD Toronato?

I think a 500hp FWD SBC-Toronato with a fully restored interior and the same wheels would have be really-really cool...then it would have stayed with the original theme of the car. I have no clue where the Bentley thing came from on the show...


And a 1000hp in any 1960's car is way too much to be useful on the street. Hopes it got big brakes.

i hear where you are coming from. i guess we will never have the luxury of worrying about which way to mod a car on that scale...
