I figured there was some term to better desribe the process. It is absolutely amazing what can be done with imaging in today's technology.

I've yet to see the commercial, but I will be looking out for it.

Based on the two-toned GS, and the chromakey explination, I would say its safe to say it was computer generated...

chromakey uses a green or blue
ive never ever seen it done with a black and i dont think it can be done with a black
and that 2tone gs is a 430.. the commercial uses a gs300 awd the wheels arent even the same
i dont get the point of chromakey for this commercial. I've done chromakey before.

that is really funny if they computer-imaged the snow since the commercial is highlighting the AWD capability. lombard st is short, so it's definitely possible they man-made it, but the temp in SF would start melting it pretty quick, so they would only have a few hrs to get it right. who knows, but it still looks great on TV!

Saw the ad today on MSNBC for the first time. Interesting, liked the end Lexus logo pattern. Of course the silver GS looks
