could you convert that to computer format (wmv), and post it online for us to see? Thanks. I can't find it on youtube.

its an IS commercial, why would an LS be in it? besides..the new LS is unprecedented, so theres no way the IS can be in the same commercial.

just saw it again a couple minutes ago..definitely dropped an IS from a helicopter....What a waste. Pointless Marketing and Advertising Tidbit: These are just pulsing commercials, which aim at reminding you of the Lexus Brand...and more specifically relating performance to the Lexus brand. Did it work on you?


let me guess...everyone is watching the Giants v. Eagles Game.

Go skins

Oh yeah...next time you watch it, check the guy out driving the silver one...he's in civilian clothes and not in a stunt suit!

well i dont own one, but i think the process goes like this (somebody correct me if im wrong)

you have to burn it to a dvd disk
then convert it using a program on your computer (a free program like SUPER)
then upload it

I believe they said it was an IS that they dropped from 4000 ft.
and the IS350 dragging started at a distance of 4000 feet away.
The IS on the ground beat the one to the drop point.
It was shown 3 times durring the Giants/Eages game, but only
in the first quarter.

You could proably calculate the time using the laws of
physics knowing the distance from the ground.
It was a 3/4 mile run.

^^^ I saw it a while ago and I also thought it was 2 IS's. One being dropped and another one hauling a$$ to beat it before the other car touches the ground. The LS seems beyond me....

I'm surprised it took you guys THIS long to post about it... I first saw that commercial yesterday. Wonder if they really dropped the IS or if it was "movie magic"
