Wow...I guess we did not read the rules of the contest. We left our slide rulers and copy of Roberts Rules in the trunk of the last CRZ we sold. All in all.. we had some fun...and made some people talk. Hopefully this will motivate Honda to do better. P.S. The 15 munute Spielberg walk around is coming out as a sequel. Stay tuned. Alex

great job Dawson it presented the vehicle in a very informative and fun way. Some people do not get that the way things were does not hold waater anymore. To get ahead and to sell our products today. Requires a whole new way of thinking. Again great job!

Shame on all you 'Out of the Box' people! Why can't you just do things the way everyone expects you to?? Couldn't you just pretend you were at Honda head office, in a big white room with a pretend customer profile and do a proper 6-point walkaround?? Whats the matter with you guys? I mean really? Why do you always try to entertain and make people smile? That's terrible of you.

Great job Henley.

Wow! Love this! Great job guys! I understand some of your 'complaints' in terms of it not being a 'typical walk-around' but give me a break! There was nothing 'typical' about this contest. I dont recall there being any specific rules on this. Especially one that stated you had to be typical and the same as everyone else. Dawson did a bang up job of the walk-around and showcased the van well.

C'mon guys....give credit where credit is due.

My vote goes to HENLEY!

It would be nice to see the sales person do the initial walk around. 

[hondaontariodealers]

Like I said a great commercial, but a sales person does not present a vehicle to a customer in teams of four. I would hope a Honda sales person has the knowledge and ability to effectively walk around each vehicle with a customer individually. This is what I think a walk around competition is designed to instil.

[hondaontariodealers]

What was wrong with the walk around component? I thought it was articulate, succinct and packaged creatively!

[hondaontariodealers]

I thought a sales person used the walk around to show the features and benefits of a vehicle during the sales process and a walk around competition was used to hone those skills. This production is a slick commercial, but it does not showcase the skills required by a sales person on a day to day basis to inform a customer. Good job at doing a commercial, but it is not a sales person's walk around. Better luck next time.

[hondaontariodealers]

I think it's a great way to showcase the walk around considering the medium! People are getting more and more information online and what a great way to keep people interested for 4-5 mins! A walk around is a commercial, great job!

What I really like is how close it comes to a Grand Caravan... Close but no cigar :)

[hondaontariodealers]

Hold on.... I've got this one....

Looks like Dawson did the walk around.

Way to think outside the box Henley!

[dawsont1399]

so... thinking outside the box was strictly prohibited? sorry...

[hondaontariodealers]

Who is the salesperson? I thought this was supposed to be a walk around presented by a salesperson, not a commercial. Give me a break!!!!

[hondaontariodealers]

Lucky you got a budget to hire Steven Speilbergho...

no no...I got this...

boooooooooooooooooooooouurnsss­!!!
