Honda's "Power of Dreams" ad is still my favorite among those, but yeah these are really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awB-030Zyeo

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 27, 2006 5:54 am) I'll agree that the speedboat seems a little out of place, but at least there wasn't a scene with him using a Honda lawnmower...  But I think they actually planned one...there's (can't recall where it is unfortunately) a great background piece on the commerical...how they found the guy, the "bloopers" during filming (apparently he dumped the Fireblade on a turn during one take), etc. Good stuff. |

Replying to: fintail (Oct 27, 2006 7:20 am) They were horrific, though. Can you imagine the guy who coined the phrase "Longer, Lower, and Wider" trying to sell a Rendezvous?  -juice

...using digital Steve McQueen have been good. Aside from the fantastic Mustang/Cornfield ad, Ford also made a cool ad for the European Puma that featured McQueen driving a silver Puma around ala Bullitt. He eventually backs it into a garage (as an attractive woman stares), gets out, smiles at an old Triumph Bonneville leaning in the corner, and pats the car lovingly as he walks away. It's kinda cool that in this era of dead celebs being resurrected to sell all sorts of incongruous things, that McQueen is being used to sell things of which he might actually approve (performance cars, chronograph watches...)
