Yes i believe so too

and the wheels looks a hell lot sharper and perfect for this car. look similar to the GS430 OEM's..

but a very impressive and creativite commercial if i do say so myself

Anyone got the other commercial link that has the LS parking in what looks like NYC traffic on the curb?

The LS460? I'd take a stab in the dark and say 160.

The current Corvette Z06 will just barely clear 200.

i don't know how many people know, but the wine glasses are a throwback from the original 1989 LS400 introduction commercial:

I was too young to have seen it back in the day, jus happened to run across it online.

This is one of the best ads yet, and I love how it echoes things nicely. "The New LS: Unprecedented" is accurate and sums it up well. I just recorded a radio ad too.

1989:

2006:

The other LS tagline, "how times have changed" (advancement!) is definitely accurate!

We may have already covered this but where are those wheels offered?

I met the manager of our dealership and we spent a long time talking cars. I asked him about the commercial in post #1, and said I thought it was all real with zero CGI. He was at Chicago when they previewed the car -- along with the advertising campaign -- to US dealers. They made a big point of telling him that everything in the commerical is real, which is part of the point. They do things right, in other words. I saw the commercial again the other night; it really is one of the best ads I've ever seen...
