Yes.
The first video was a RLX commercial that may have been shown 6 times before Acura abandoned marketing the RLX. Some yahoo copied it and posted it as a 2015 RLX Sport Hybrid. Unless yahoo is Canadian, there was no 2015 SH RLX. Further the car in the video is a PAWS RLX. The time that commercial was out, the 2014 Sport Hybrids were months away from being available.
The second video is another yahoo (or the same yahoo) with a phone camera and a YourTube account.
The video is titled 2017.....
Well there is NO information on the 2017 MY. And again, the video mostly depicts a PAWS RLX on display for some zealous modifier or vendor that pimps out cars. The last few stills are Acura pics, where at least they are a SH.
My guess is the yahoo (s) live with mom in her basement.

The Canadian commercial highlighted the PAWS and then showed a static shot of the SH at the end. Somewhat deceptive editing.
I believe they sold a few of the 2015 hybrids in Canada, which had the elusive AVAS.

Definitely creative editing. I missed those details. Oh well.

The ad is old news, I'm afraid, from another age. Acura, and we, have all moved on and await what happens with the RLX next.
