Awesome stuff. I really love all of the commercials Team One is doing for Lexus. I really think they will elevate the image and reputation of Lexus, especially with the significant work they are doing for the LS hybrid marketing.

Reminds me a lot of their "face to face" commercial with the Advanced Airbag in the old ES...definitely gives you goose bumps. Great work.

Pretty cool vid...too bad MB didn't think about doing a commercial like that for their pre-safe system 5 years ago...Lexus has a great marketing department.

Oh wow! Goosebumps! Good commercial. This is much better than those weird ones for the IS (The forest one particularly).

I thought MB did have an ad.. or is it a car show that I saw. I remember someone showing it (just braking hard obviously) and the moonroof and window closed.... or am I just dreaming? haha

except Mercedes couldn't show that ad until the new Sclass, since pre-safe couldn't detect other cars 5yrs ago.

That's where you are wrong, MB had it on the previous generation S-class which was definately around 5 years ago and it could detect other cars using high frequency radar.

Here is a video on Pre-Safe and the previous generation S-class: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...eid=searchfeed

Here is a Top Gear video with Jeremy Clarkson talking about the previous generation S-class and its' Pre-Safe system, this video is around 4-6 years old: http://youtube.com/watch?v=HmkX9mtF9zI

you do realize those videos do not mention a radar based pre-collision sensor. prior to the new S class presafe was 100% dependant on driver inputs for activation.
