TL Commercial (New?)

Just saw an Acura TL commercial tonight on NBC. I'm pretty sure it was the one that someone here had posted about that he walked into filming in NYC. I was watching it at work on a little black and white tv with a 5 inch screen so I couldn't see the detail but they didn't mention the model year. I don't think I've ever seen a TL TV commercial--not for the next-gen ones anyway.

Was it one of these? Method Studios

If not, can you describe it?

That commercial's been shown on and off for months and months now.

The TL in the commercial does have however what I bet will be the taillight lenses on the '06.

Look again. They're the tail lights from the TL concept car at the auto shows:

Nope, I slow mo'ed it, they are the current tailights on our cars, not the concept tails.

I know that's what you were getting at...I did take a good look at them - even thought they were from the concept at first, too - but ultimately decided they looked more like the current ones with dust than the concepts. I have 2 perfect screen shots (as they won't let you copy the stills from the paused video), but I can't figure out how to get them to save as clear jpg's...definitely current tail lights, though.

I know for sure those weren't the EL42's they had on the TL when they were driving it for the commercial.
