In this Honda Accord Ad, the first 37 seconds are bloody awesome

A follow-up ad to the famed ‘The Cog’ is never going to be an easy one. But this is a nice attempt and I am a sucker for car ads that don’t show the car. In this case, there was absolutely no need to. And the VO ‘Absolute precision you can feel’ doesn’t really fit [...]

For those of you who are sick of the disgusting excess of Olympics, this should give you 25 seconds of pure joy.
