Ok, so this may be a repost but I think this is the coolest comercial and after reading the info on how much time and effort this took I was even more impressed. Apparently this comercial is quickly becoming the most downloaded on the internet!
Again, I'm sorry if it's already been posted here. Here's the read up.

Subject: Honda Commercial
Read the info first, then watch the clip. And you thought those people
that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing. There are
no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film.

Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it.
The film took 606 takes. (Holy cow!) On the first 605 takes, something,
usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole
thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the
time it was over, they were ready to change professions. (It's
surprising they kept their sanity!) The film cost six million dollars
and took three months to complete.(Wow!) including full engineering of
the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda
airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough
to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast
becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. (It's
easy to see why!)

Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free
viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this
commercial!). (That's clever!)

When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it
immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six
and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of
Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the
film. (That's beyond belief. This project was far beyond the genius of
Swiss watches!)

Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and
complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is
Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked
it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell
off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about
those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords, the windshield wipers
have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing
automatically as soon as they become wet.

I'm speechless

 

repost its fake

 

Thats pretty amazing...how did the tires roll up the ramp though?

 

I figured it would be a repost. But are you sure it's fake?

 

X 99999999999

 

yup~!..first time i saw it ..figured it was fake!

...it wasnt even that fast to roll up that shit!!!

 

I thought the same thing when I first watched it. That is what gave me the impression it's fake. I just don't understand that part.
I still like the commercial though. Still can't beat my all time favorite commercials by BMW Films, THE HIRE.

 

The tires have a weight inside which makes them roll uphill with a slight tap.

 

I'm sorry to waste everyones time. Can someone put repost in the title or something?

 

^ I still enjoyed seeing it again...no worries.

 

I see. Now how bout the window going down with a tap? Is that a feature on the European Accord only?
