The Making of the Honda Impossible Dream TV Campaign

[mendolady1]

Mendocino CA was not mentioned! I saw this being filmed and the end result is fantastic...beautiful advert....a professional film! Great scenes....GREAT Honda products...!!!

[zeroxstrife250]

My favorite part has to be 2:31! It's so amazing they could make something that sounds so fantastic so long ago! And look at that needle!

[desposyy]

it breaks my heart that old cars and bikes like those are couped up inside and never driven. I drive a mini cooper, a real one, and even after a few days sitting the car is grumpy and unhappy on start up, he needs to be run as often as possible. these old cars are living breathing machines, they need to see the road, they need to live

Makes you proud to be a Honda owner.

(Don't be fooled by the Suzuki GS500 as my profile avatar - it's just that I own one of those too!)

[zekohonda]

when honda pulled out from f1, 'someone' put this ad on one british tv, for the one last time. such an irony, especially when brawn won the titles :(

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

It has got to be THE greatest advert of all time.

marikan is blad zebi, dzayer c le meilleur, vive lalgerie mou .... ou vive hyundai accent pooney...

[ValerieHarris1]

The rip is poor because the audio is out of sync with the video - the mouths move after the text.

Can you please re-rip it with an SV adjustment?

[wibles]

Yes - I see what you mean - I'll try and redo the video... one day!

[orr1000]

Thanks for posting brilliant vid

[MuppetThumper]

too bad such an epic ad isnt screened in the states. i see no reason why it shouldn't be?

[bagzie]

I'm an American living in the UK, and I'll tell you why - it's the stupid redneck mentality we have that is perpetuated by WWE, NASCAR, Budweiser and the rest of our phoney macho pursuits that contribute to our general 'big is best' approach to things. Honda is known for progressive engineering. People would say this commercial is a 'pussy ass commercial' and Honda is smart enough to know that. We don't appreciate such creativity in the states. "I'm gonna buy me a Ford truck" is all we deserve.

[wibles]

Even though I describe myself as an out-and-out Brit, I think you're a bit hard on your native compatriots! The tune is good, the lyrics are as emotive as in any great song, the machines are outstanding and ground-breaking - I think most would see the genius in this Ad.

Thanks for your comment, I'm off for a Bud... cheers.

[03cammd79]

whats so great about the states? theres plenty of places in the world better than the US, sadly most americans dont know that...

[nhblackdc5]

I live in los angeles and i still think... we are a global superpower... why the hell do we have such poor car/vehicle selection?

[yoshi88mario]

nice

[persepolis11]

Thank you very much for posting this!

Such an inspirational and intelligent advert...and yes, that NSX is simply gorgeous.

[wibles]

Hey - yeah. Watching the Liverpool v Real M Champions League match tonight and before hte match... completely out of the blue, this Ad came on... brilliant. Quite a lot of people got to see it.

[millsy1804]

its back on tv :)!

[TheWitchfinderGenral]

A great commercial. Mmmm... NSX :drool:

[Roosashi]

funny, ive never been to the website, but the Ad has to be my favourite piece of marketing ever. hmmm

[MarkMonteagudo]

"So when I got called up for this audition, I thought that was just complete madness because I look like a complete freak."

Funniest part.

[97vtec]

go the prelude.... :)

[andrew1038]

the Z50 is the best

[tomphillips606]

cheers for this, its an awesome advert

[youarthurhu]

Sterling was Honda, went over like a lead balloon in the states. Boy I'm glad I got the Legend instead.

[stockford]

Absolutely awesome.  My favourite ad of the year.

[MJRazza]

Yeah, world class advert, made entirely by Brits, what a surprise. We Brits dominate.

[HONDAxACURA]

Dood Brits are awesome. I want to like in UK. You guys got the cool Accord commercial and now this.

[vercoe3]

dominate wot? making ads for a japanese company?

yr a champion mate...lol

[gibbythegreatreturns]

Well we don't have a car industry anymore (Apart from Aston Martin and London Taxi's) so we just make ad's instead! lol

[wibles]

Hey - even London Taxis are now made in China, or somewhere like that.

[bakerloobadboy]

Thought they were made in Coventry and then sold at vastly inflated prices by some company at Highbury Corner

[telstar9]

they are made in gaydon warks

[vercoe3]

oh aston martin that car brand owned by bmw? i see

[tiadaid]

aston martin isn't owned by bmw..rolls royce is

[vercoe3]

u sure? i thought it might be like a honda - rover relationship.

[captinbritish]

aston martin is/was onwed by ford. And what about tvr or morgan and bently

[ryan1396]

Lol, nice one!

[gibbythegreatreturns]

Amen
