ROFL.... thanks for sharing. It's very very corny.

That voice really only works for the cheesy one liners, not long explanations of the vehicle characteristics!

It's too bad Lexus isn't really old enough to have a heritage yet.

I like the way the video is not about what others think of your car (the look) but is played from the standpoint of what the car means to you. The ownership of my cars have never been about flash.

There's also another LS 430 video that was shown at NAIAS when it debuted, also about the same length...used to be on youtube.

I remember the "flower pollen" one, but did not remember it being the LS430 that was in commercial. I just remember liking the spot because it illustrated the wonders of a Lexus. hem, subconsciously I must have known it was the LS.

Didn't understand the Korean one, but I can imagine what it's saying "after a long day in the office, let the car pamper you because it knows you. Open the door, start the engine... SmartAcces, from Lexus."

There was a really cool one of the LS430 back up camera, a test driver was driving the car in reverse at a high speed and them slpits two 18 wheeler's after spinning around. The owner removed it from Youtube, could not find it any where eise.

Hi All -

Thought I'd bump this thread posted last year in case any of you haven't seen some of these promo videos, especially the newer CL members. One or two of 'em reminded me of some of the hidden features I'd forgotten about ...

Thx to gs4bkny (the OP) for the thread.
