So ya think Acura isn't listening? Re: Commercial

Well,

Anybody seen the new commercial of a black CLS going really quick through twisties?

The fast paced commercial had the rpms going wild (seeming to go beyond the rev. limiter)
and "yesterday was Aspen" line?

Here you have it. To those of you who asked for it, eat your cake :p
Some of you will probably say, it's about
focken time

Now, next order of business...
!BODY KIT!

-------------
Side Topic: Red Toyo Celica GT commercial showing off sporty bodykit.

I thought it was cool.
All they had to do was use a nice looking Red Celica with a kit *parallel parked* in front of a house, and a dog came mad running outa the house to chase it down and BAMMM!
slammed into the rear..

DUMBASS dog. haha
Seconds later an old man across the street walking by yells out: "Slow down! This is a neighborhood PUNK!"

hahaha

I saw that commercial yesterday... it was black.

I love that Celica commercial! That poor dog, but it was damn funny.

I don't know which I laughed the hardest on. That Celica commerical or the Budweiser one with the two turtles. Both are hilarious, though the sound of the dog hitting the back of the car was great.

The best part of the Celica commercial is obviously the motorcycle cop who though the car was speeding.

I thought it said "Incase you were wondering, that was Aspen." It was black and I loved that one shot of the RPM's way up there.

I just saw the CL-S Aspen commercial again. It looks Monterrey blue to me. But then in some shots it looks black. Not that there's much difference to begin with. Maybe it IS black and the blue tint is a reflection from the blue sky.

Just curious...is there a particular station that you guys are seeing the Acura commercial on? Sometimes these commercials play on a specific station or time more than others and I'd love to see it.

The new CLS commercial is certainly an improvement on Acura's part but I still think the RSXS commercial is better. (gives a sportier feeling for the car. plus you see a real shifter going through the 6 gears that we can only dream about.)

oh shoot, i should be looking out for that
one...West Coast doesn't have that one yet.
I think these things are regional.

So for those of you on the East Coast, the Black CLS was actually Monterey Blue on the West Coast :p
For me, I could care less.

My idea for a new commercial introducing the
long awaited bodykit would be the following:

Ever wonder what the S stood for in CL-TypeS?
Type Sexy.....
Type Sport....

{introducing the Acura CL-S featuring a
Sleek aerodynamic package}

Man, I still haven't seen the commercial yet. The best Celica commercial is the one with the old man yelling at the car, saying slow down!

Oh my gawd. I thought it was green! Better living through ealy years of chemistry has come back to get me I guess.

Actually it was blue. I've no doubt cause my wife saw it also somewhere else and she said it was blue and "she is never wrong."

But where was the ditsy blonde wearing that kerchief like she had some terrible disease to hide?

I like the change.

I thinkt he Eclipse commercial was pretty good. Thay have that shot of the 30+ year old guy in a tie and pinstripe shirt with that 19 year old punk girl. Not bad. I think we'll see a few mid life crises happen in those cars.

I live in Satan Clara, CA, and I've seen all of these commercials. I don't think it's regional.

i think there must be like 2 versions of that commercial then...'cuz i just saw it like 30 seconds ago and it said, "fyi:" and then changes to "that was aspen"

i think my favorite commercial is the civic one with the kid in the back between those two girls and he starts spreading his legs.
i thought the chick in the passenger seat was hot.
