You mean Team One :P

Autoblog rated the Lexus Super Bowl commercial a D. I don't agree with much of what Autoblog says about Lexus, but I sorta agree here. It's a good commercial, but I feel like it is a typical commercial that could be released any time of the year and not a Super Bowl quality commercial that people will remember. With that said, any Super Bowl commercial will reach a huge audience so I am glad that Lexus at least is joining in on that market.

Edit: Great job Gianstfan! I hadn't seen Beast 2.0 so good job on the edit. I definitely felt something was missing in the 1.0 commercial. It's like they cut out all of that extra footage from 2.0 that you added in. After the GS blasted out of its container, all of a sudden you see the GS pull in and the commercial ends. Very anticlimatic and abrupt. I'm glad there is a 2.0 version that shows more, but it looks like it wasn't edited together with 1.0 like you just did so good job.

This is a good way to sum it up. It's a decent commercial, but not Super Bowl quality by any stretch. I don't think Lexus' typical elegant, pretty, soft commercials are appropriate for such an audience - it needed to be something more raw, thought provoking, or funny.

What I'd like to see is more of these commercials from Lexus and not just for the Super Bowl!! I remember when the new E came out, there were tons of commercials on tv. I hardly see any from Lexus they have the new product, they should let the people know about it I think

I was watching the SB with mostly non-car people and they were all positive on the GS ad, with several of them saying they really liked how it looked. IMO the general lack of quality in SB ads this year may have helped the impact of the Lexus ad, at least relatively.

I loved the fact it was a simple car ad, shows the car, thats it. I mean, the funny ads are funny (sometimes) but it seems to me most times they are trying to compete to make the funniest ad and the vehicle is an afterthought. Most people I spoke to also loved it more than I did
