Default Latest Honda Commercials

I know some folks rarely watch commercials, but I do see a few of them, and Honda has some new ones on TV and the radio I could do without.

There is one with opera singing, another with more annoying singing and "Mr. Opportunity" making his appearance.

Neither of these commercials would entice me to go Honda shopping. However, I do remember the commercials so perhaps the advertising folks have done their job.

Overall, I give the commercials

What about you?

I dont see commercials, I DVR 95% of what I watch and a simple click of the FF button makes commercials disappear. Do you have any youtube links to the new commercials?

Can't stand the woman's voice, so I mute the commercials. I've never cared for the "Mr Opportunity" Honda commercials.

with the general consensus. But at least they are not so stupid that it makes one NOT want to associate with the product let alone buy it. Close but no cigar.

Some imaginative ads by Honda. Whether or not they actually sell cars is unknown.

I don't like these at all, but I think that they're just end of season, promotional type commercials.

Years ago Honda had commercials featuring the voice of Burgess Meridith and I thought that they were excellent.

My all time favorite Honda commercial is this one for the 2006 Honda Civic Si. I think this captured the essence of the car perfectly. Make sure your speakers are on.

I still love the Impossible Dream video, but I don't think that was a commercial.

I'm not sure I understand Honda's advertising. Every other morning I pass the Honda parts tractor trailer making it's delivery to either the local Honda dealer on one side of Route 10 or the Acura dealer on the other side.

One side of the trailer has graphics of Honda power equipment (lawn mowers, generators, snow blowers, quads and etc.) and the other side has graphics of their cars and motorcycles. The most prominent car, the one in front of all the others, is a Rio Yellow S2000. I'd have thought that once the model was discontinued, they'd have repainted the truck to show off the current models. I'd have expected either an Si or a Fit in place of the S2000.

I guess they don't want to invest in repainting their trucks, but the truck is actually a rolling billboard and I'd have thought they'd update it.

I haven't seen any, Lainey. I turn on the TV about once every three weeks.
