Hahahahah omg I remember watching this back then and I'm actually getting a si in a week or so can't wait it's 2 in the morning an I can't sleep and all I can think of is this car cuz I just drove it today it's AMAZING
This is why I love Honda commercials, they're not really about anything, they're silly and fun, and even the CEO of Honda said: "Great cars should sell themselves".
YOu mean the Ford Focus commercial looks like this one... you know, because this commercial came out in 2006. It's 2008. Also, note the title of the video. Derp!
I was making a sarcastic remark. I was trying (and evidently failed) to sarcastically point out that Ford sort of ripped off this commercial for their re-designed Focus. While there are some differences, there really is a lot that is the same.
Um, this definitely is about selling and doing drugs (blaze-a blaze, galang galang galang, purple haze, galang galang galang), running through the streets chased by cops, and sucking dick to get enough money to go to/survive in London. Last verse:
"pray and you will pull through
suck a dick'll help you
don't let em get to you
if he's got 1 you get 2
backstab your crew
sell it i could sell you"
My point is... not a song typical for selling a car!
M.I.A. about the song: This was only the second track I ever wrote, so I was still experimenting. I just wanted to put down all the advice everyone had said to me about how to survive in London."
And drugs are a critical part of both of our points- survival and rebellion.
MIA is talking about drugs. Read the above quoted lyrics.
Furthermore why the hell is she saying "blaze-a-blaze" "purple haze" if not talking about drugs? Its very much about selling pot to get ahead in the underground economy. Many MIA songs are of this black market survival vein, heard 10 Dollar? that's the kind of turmoil and rebellion shes talking about. Gritty shit that comes from desperation.
So, still ironic it's a honda commercial. That's the point.
The word "galang" in the native language has nothing to do with drugs. There's a line in which someone told her she's going to need drugs to survive London. They used it in this commercial because it's upbeat and crazy, like the graphics. Not so weird when you think about it, but yeah I see your point. Adios.
If you want a fast and powerfull car,this isnt it. !97 horsepower isnt alot and it probably only has 4 cylinders. I can see why people would buy it for diffrent reason. in a good way
Ive seen honda make commercials that say they have powerfull cars and they go fast when most likly they dont. So when I see this it looks like there saying the same thing. Im not trying to say anything bad about honda
i hope you learned you lesson about ICBC and why would you buy a mugen when its just the same as SI and you have to drive all the way down to the states. and how the hell did you drive without insurance?
i had to sell mine back to an American Honda dealer cause ICBC here in British Columbia doesn't recognize that there is an si mugen sedan and insuring a 30,000+ car for coverage up to an normal si sedan wasn't worth it for me so i just bought an normal si sedan and yah there the same the only difference is the price. dont buy an mugen sedan the si performs just the same.
yeah the only thing that the mugen si have is the full catback mugen and the mugen parts like the spoiler and ecu chips nothing special they perform the same
hahahahah wrong u spen 10 grand more on a si and plus its slower! it weighs more than a coupe and ther not even sure if that exhaust that isnt even loud really added any hp its slower than the si coupe and sedan just go to road and track dot com or check out ther magazine and look in the back of the 0-60 times..lol u spent 30 grand on a si that is the slowest out of all of them! the best looking one, the coupe, is faster stock and with only an extra grand(22 grand) smokesss the mugen(p.o.s) HAHA
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
plus ur dumbass doesnt know shit that exhaust on the mugen "could" have added 5hp said from honda so that is actually 202hp(strating from 197) ur dumbass saying that is 205hp...and then u say that is 7 more hp than a si coupe or sedan? do u know how to add? that is 8 more hp u dumbass which isnt even right plus i dont even believe u have a mugen ur a kid with no life posting fake comments to satisfy urslef no one cares about u and ur retarded perference go buy a sti with 30 grand not a mugen
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the mugen's best 0-60 time is 6.8..the sedan's and coupes are tied at 6.3 for their best 0-60 times..dont believe me? go to my page and look under my profile for the 0-60 times show me one that is faster than 6.8 for the mugen or that it is faster than a si coupe and sedan nooooooob post comments and i wont even respond let alone read ur shit
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Every time I see these car's on the road they make me laugh.. when they stop at the lights or park I think to myself about 10 clowns getting out and jumping around... such a silly looking car. Then again I suppose its good for first time drivers :S
i had a 1986 si when they first came out now i have a 2006 for a toy instead of transportation they have come a long way from the 86 version i love my si!
Do not attempt. Professional driver on a closed course.

Please kill yourself. You couldn't have misunderstood the commercial more.
The Si is fast for a car with a NA 4 banger.
They aren't saying its the fastest car, b/c its def. not. You are dumb, and you need to die for society to function properly.
