Favorite Acura TSX commercial

[Whatchamacallit]

Which one of these is your favorite Acura TSX commercial?

Sorry, wish I had the videos of these but no luck finding them. Here's a short description of each (3 so far).

1) The Fish Tank - Guy at a doctor's office watches a goldfish swimming nimbly inside the fish tank reminding him of the TSX.

2). The Flying Kite - Guy watches a kite fly dexterously through the sky, as he dreams about the TSX.

3). The Cat & Dog Chase - A light green van follows a TSX through the streets of Italy. Both cars stop, and a cat jumps out of the TSX, a dog out of the van and the chase continues on paws.


*UPDATE*
TOV (http://www.vtec.net/forums/one-message?message%5fid=88354) has a copy of the first two commercials. No sign of the Cat & Dog Chase commercial yet. RIGHT CLICK ON THE LINK AND "SAVE TARGET AS". If you have trouble playing them on your computer, try a different format or go to the TOV (http://www.vtec.net/forums/one-message?message%5fid=88354) site directly.

I think not too many people have seen the commercials!

I saw a commerical a couple of times, right after they came out. Or, actually I didn't "see" it, because I was on the computer at the time (surprise!) and the commercial was almost over by the time I turned to look. I'm not even sure which commercial it was.

Acura sure hasn't been pushing the car very hard, probably because they haven't had to -- they're basically selling all they can at the moment.


BTW they seem to have lost those silly "Wall Street Racer" billboards.
That was maybe the dumbest slogan I've ever seen, for anything. And I have yet to come across any different opinion about it.


"What were they thinking?" :donno:

I haven't seen a TSX commercial in a very long time. The only Acura commercials I see now are for the TL and MDX.:(

[larchmont]

BTW is there ANYBODY who thinks "Wall Street Racer" was a good idea?
I ain't found anyone yet.

Sorry, I've never seen the "Wall Street Racer" billboards. (Maybe it's better that way). In fact, I have yet to see any billboards for the TSX.

Maybe I was just busy watching "Chocolate Foam" and didn't look up enough while driving. :D

I started googling that, and before I got the full answer I realized I wasn't old enough yet so I quit. :D

I haven't seen any billboards since very early on -- and then it was just the "Wall Street Racer" thing. I guess they decided nothing was better than Wall Street Racer billboards.

Literally.

I voted for cat and dog chase, as before this thread, that was the only one I had seen.

[larchmont]

Speaking of billboards.....do y'all have those TL billboards that say "Redefining ASAP? Or is that only out here?

I think that's almost as dumb as the "Wall Street Racer" ones that they had for the TSX. And it's not like I'm inclined to say that everything is dumb, in fact if anything I'm inclined to think that anything Acura is great! But, "Redefining ASAP"???? Give me a break. And anyway speed isn't what's most special about the TL. They can get an Evo for that. Or a lot of other cars.

We have those all over the place here as well. Each time I see one, it reminds me of the nightmare that was my TL :mad:

those links are to the kite and fishtank commercials. I have those already, but where can I see the cat & dog chase one? I have yet to see this new commercial on TV.:donno:

Finally found the Cat & Dog Chase commercial! It's a big file (3 MBs) and requires Quicktime software. Sorry, the website doesn't allow you to save the file, just allows you to view it.

RPA is one of several companies that makes commercials for Acura. They request some info about you but you can pretty much put anything in there and get access:

http://www.rpa.com/what_weve_done/index.html?sn=new&cp=Acura

Let me know if you have problems accessing the file.

[ChinchillaX]

I watched it, but I think the file saves in the temporary internet files, but I can't find the save file. If someone can find it, take it out of the temporary folder and please upload it for those who don't want to register on that site to see it.

As a new TSX owner, I'd love to see the Dog & Cat commercial. Anyone have it? It is no longer on the rpa site.

Same here. I've only seen the cat and dog one and it was forever ago. Never seen the first two mentioned till just now! Wish they showed them in the NY-NJ area so I could see....

[Jazzyguy]

Did anybody find a way to upload the cat and dog commercial? I cant view it. I really, really wanna see it.

Thanks
