Just saw this commercial and had to RUN to the computer to post!

Bridgestone is advertising their Insignia SL tires. The ad starts with "you probably knew that Bridgestone makes tires for cars like this" and shows a Formula One car, "and this" the new Lexus convertible, "and this" YELLOW S2000, "but did you know that they also make tires for..."

I quit listening at that point and just watched....

SHWEET! I guess we're selling enough of the S-02's for them to warrant top billing on their commercials now!

I've seen it too here in Calgary Canada.
Love the way they "toss" the yellow S2K on stage

The first time I saw it I was fast-forwarding thru the ads and saw a blip of the yellow s2k. I had to rewind and watch it 2 or 3 times Gotta love TiVo!

It looks like a case of classic "snap-oversteer" to me! Seriously, a great showcase for our babies.

I saw this commercial when it first came out. I think they used it during a CART or F1 race. It's still a great commercial.
