Probably not a Lexus ad. When is the last time you saw a car ad that wasn't CG. Pus that is pretty boring suburban scenery.

i might have to agree with timbo, unless you have certain information that it was infact a lexus commercial.

there were a whole bunch of regular RX's parked on the side streets carrying the camera equipment and what not and thats what I was told by the dude wearing the Lexus jacket who told me not to film and to move out of the way because they had cameras setup to the side of the road after I arrived. But who knows, dude might have been lying to me. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Once they did a pull, they allowed traffic to flow a little bit, tried to jump in the back of the shot, but the motorcycle cop kept blocking me off. hahahaha.
