Without watching I can say that it's not THE most expensive advertisement ever made. The most expensive ad ever cost a helluva lot more, at 27million euros for Chanel perfume.(I know cos I came across it for a paper i was doing) However this must be the most expensive car ad ever made, and 3 months is a helluva long time to shoot an ad.

Btw here's an interesting page about the Honda ad: http://www.snopes.com/autos/business/hondacog.asp

Damn, Snopes users are few and far between.

I think I first saw this add when I was still in Uni. Yes, its THAT old.

There are six and only six hand-made Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film.

When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real.

Do you use bittorrent? The first link off the Snopes site gives you the torrent file you need when you click "play creative."

that's http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/2110.asp

I didn't look whether it works or not though the torrent file downloaded for me. If it does work and you download it its yours to keep. Since it's old there may be nobody seeding it. I hope I'm not promoting anything not so legal here

3 months and $ 6 mil....

the design itself must have taken a lot of time.. very smart...

though i'm a bit puzzled as to how the wheels roll up the plank like that.. i'm guessing they have wieghts attached on one side?

and the patience thinking "this is the one .. its gonna work this time.. yes yes yes.. NOOOO"

yes in that site it said that there were weights attached on one side of each wheel and that made it possible to roll them up the slope cos the wheel rolled due to the weight tryin to balance itself.
