    Fantastic add. Just a shame they show off the station version, it looks so much better as a 4 door sedan

    already a few threads on this



    but it's a cool enough ad to deserve all the press it gets

    Great, they never showed this Honda ad on TV over here.



    This is for you if you ever wondered how a plane is made:

    This video is aprox. 6MB, for low resolution go to

    The wheels going up the ramp still bother me. I keep looking for something, wire maybe, that pulls them up. It's not there.

    There was lengthy discussion about this matter in the last thread on this commercial. They're apparently very carefully weighted.

    you can demonstrate the wheels rolling up the ramp yourself...

    tape a roll of quarters inside a soup can... place it on a ramp going up to the right with the taped quarters at the one or two o'clock position. release. center of mass falls (quarters drop to 6 o'clock position), but can rolls 'uphill' (to the right in this case) doing so.



    same trick in the commercial, except more complex to balance several consecutively on a larger teetering ramp



    this method is mentioned in the other thread, and in other stories about the production of the commercial



    counter-intuitive, but can do
