This is one of the coolest commercials I've ever seen. Apparently , it took 3 months and 6 million dollars to get it perfect. They say the whole thing is genuine, no special effects. Check it out.http://www.daboyz/honda (http://www.daboyz.org/honda)

Interesting...How did those wheels go up the ramp? when they barely got touched....? Or the muffler roll about 5 feet when it got bumped by a marble?

That is a pretty good commercial. But it is not completely real. About half way throuigh, they have a board with 3 tires. The first gets lightly bumped, rolls UP the board, hits second which rolles fourther up, which hits third, which rolls up and off.
Last time I checked a tire will not willingly roll UP a board without some major coaxing.
*arg! Asmodeus beat me to it!*

Yeah, but you are 1.5 years late on the release date. It's still worth the watch though.

No guys, the whole thing is comepletely real. They used counter weights in the tires, but I'm not sure about that muffler. All I know is that the WHOLE thing is real.

Yeah we had a version on this screen like last year in OZ. It was basically the same except it started with the pipe roling down the plank of wood that opened the car window. So we didn't see the miraclous uphill tyres. and the end was different in ours.
We thought it was really good until we noticed one thing. It's more prevailent in the version they put on our screens but at the very end when the car rolls down the ramp they steer it towards the camera. Oh the agnoy.
Other then that it's brilliant.

If I can find the site where I read the making of this ad, I'll post it.
Yes, there are counterweights in the tires.
It took ~675 tries to get right.

Wow.....the people who made it were devoted to an extreme. I have seen this multiple times, but every time it just seems to get cooler :).
