New TL-s commercial

Just wanted to share my experience this summer. I was staying in beverly hills at my aunt's house and i was walking down the street one day. i noticed a bunch of huge trucks and a few police cars blocking the road. i come to find out they are filming the new tl-s commercial. Well i got permission to stand right in the action and watch. The general idea is that this guy is sitting in his office all excited about his new car. Well he sends an email to his friend in another offfice about how fast his new car is. well he runs to the garage and peels out. He drives full speed and essential as he is driving the powerlines are lighting up (representing his email) well he gets to his friends office right as the email arrives.
it was quite fun to watch as the whole road was blocked off and the tl-s (6 spd) drives from a stop full speed down the road and burns rubber around te corner. i have some pics if anyone wants to see them. thanks for letting me share my story

I've seen at least a couple on air here in SoCal, one a regular TL and the other a Type-S. Nothing with an e-mail theme yet, though.

Those are some cool commercials. If Acura played more of these over the air they would have more reach. That is what Infiniti does with all it's sleek commercials.

I liked that voice activated commercial so much that I decided to try it.

Hmmm...Push button - give voice command:

ME: "LOOK BETTER THAN WDP"

SYSTEM: "ALREADY LOOKS BETTER THAN WDP, PLEASE TRY AGAIN"

Hey, that guy's right - it does listen well!

I think there was a recall on that version. Something about the disc giving false information.

Yeah I agree, it was due to the fact that all the wdp guys tried it and it said "FM Radio On" instead LMFAO

I've seen the commercial playing here the last week or so in Mpls market.
a little different.
they show a guy using hte NAV and real time traffic cruising through traffic of a city, then he is walking into the office past the secretary as a text message pops up on her screen from him saying I'm running late I'm on my way or somethign like that. same concept, he beat teh message there. but thanks to real time traffic and Nav.
