An independent marketing firm that tests ads for truthfulness did it and confirmed the ad.

One time there was a volvo ad where Bigfoot ran over a Volvo and nothing happenend to it. THey tested it and the Volvo got CRUSHED.

Volvo then admitted the vehicle they used was reinforced.

 

yes i still remember the balance commercial when it first came out. i was so amazed back then (even more later when i knew it was not fake). same with the ES and the ball bearing, another amazing commercial

 

These were excellent commercials done by Lexus these heps to make Lexus a household name and many company used Lexus like to describe a smooth or quiet car from then on. Does anyone remeber the commercial with the LS400 on the train tracks or the commercial where it shows the intrior of the LS400 and then starts taking way all the sounds and then music starts playing.

 

Yep that was one of many groundbreaking Lexus benchmarked commercials. That commercial demonstrated the LS400's smooth riding suspension, and it could do it without any intrusion to the passenger cabin.

 

I wish someone could find these two commercials. I dont think there were anymore commercials for the original LS400.
