I like the new LS 430 one, where the guy is going like 80mph in reverse looking through the camera and does the 180 at the end
I've seen that one. you don't think that's real, right?

you think he's really doing 80mph in reverse? I don't see how a car can even go 80 in R. And backwards between two semis

The emphasis is the smart key and the keyless ignition. Each scene (Museum?, Ice cavern and ocean) feature an explorer looking for... something... and they find The Next Phenomenon from Lexus

Then while she's stacking a playing card house (to demonstrate the smoothness), she blinks again and the old man turns into a hunky younger guy.
I loved that one, very original.
damn where are you seeing all these ads @_@ i should stop watching as many nba....

LOL..I watch a LOT of tv, sad to say!
Another one that gave me chills was the early SC430 one where the announcer is a female who recites the whole commercial in French. I don't speak French, but that commercial sure spoke to me!

Another good one was when Lexus used Joe Pesci as the "voice" of the Brookly Bridge taunting the ES.

Funny... I was watching the new Infiniti "M" commercial and not bashing the car but it does not inspire me nor my wife... (and she'll drive anything)..lol
I think the narators voice helps in the LExus commercials ....
I wish a Lexus advertiser would explain the concept of the new commercials...although catchy I can't seem to relate to a diver going underwater to start the car..lol

I still can't forget the LS add with the glasses on top the engine or the rolling ball in the ES panel gaps while the car rotates in the air.

And I vaguely remember the SC ad where it pulled up to a stoplight and the rain was pouring on the hood (I think).

I remember the GS ad where the guy got out the car breathing heavy. That was hilarious.
And the GS ad where they were racing a 540 and E430 (I think) and they all were going fast but when it came to stop, the other 2 went over a cliff.

They simply have the 2, great marketing and a great product.

I also like the new Audi ads using the > sign.

And BMW has ALWAYS had great ads.
