New Acura TSX commercial......Getaway car? WTF?

The new TSX commercial shows a TSX being chased by a can through the streets of Italy, and when they stop a cat jumps out of the TSX, and a dog jumps out of the van, and the cat runs up a wall. Then the announcer says "The 200-horsepower six speed get-away car, the Acura TSX"...


I was just like......


Did I miss the point of the commercial?

My first time seeing it......commercials are regional, so perhaps the SouthEast was the last to recieve it?



Still, the commercial doesn't make any sense.

yeah, it's a pretty lame commercial....then again, the same can be said for most, if not all, Acura commercials.

^^^Exactly

But isn't the point more the handling since a van and maybe another car crashes during the chase because their cars aren't good enough to make the turns and such?

If you want to see a european car chase, what the movie Ronin w/ Robert De Niro.

The car chase would make a great Audi commercial

Wha great commercial. What do you people expect????? It running away from a lambo or something? Then you would complain that it's unrealistic.

The best acura commercial is the one where the new TL is carving the road in front of it.

I like that one too.

Also, was there ever a commercial on the CL ? I have seen the mag ads, but never heard or saw a commercial.

And the RSX commercial where it's driving on a race track through a city. That's pretty pimp too.

Don't you remember the one where the guy was looking to buy a house with his wife and he noticed all the winding roads around that one house? They kept flashing back to him shifting the Six-Speed around the curves etc.

The CL commercials I remember are the guy from NYC going to Boston for lunch, and also the guy that works in LA and went to SF for a date.
I kinda reenacted the NYC to Boston commercial, except mine was a 5hr drive.

Just what I've been waiting for. A black on black TSX beside me at the traffic light. Punk is ready. Little did he know that my MDX would eat his ass for breakfast. Light turns green ! I'm soooooo off he didn't know what hit him. I left him 4 cars behind. He'll think twice about fOOKing with an X.........................
