I'm skeptical it was real. The tires going up the grade is what killed it for me. Until then I was pretty impressed.
But it's still pretty cool.

Honda's explanation of the tire thing is that they were very special, and had some of weight fastened to them to make them speed up like that, after their initial movement......

very nice. read an article on that commercial the other day. dont remember if it was posted here or elsewhere. but yeah, its real & took forever to get right. the weights in the tires was aparently just a bunch of bearings or nuts, which makes sense. they will cause the tire to stall, but then give the tire a push. i'd have to sa the walking wipers gave me the biggest chuckle.
