Default FOURTH GS commercial

Guys i just managed to catch a FOURTH GS commercial! It was of a silver GS - and it looked AMAZING! Just BEAUTIFUL! i only caught maybe the last 5-6 seconds of it

It was going down a curvy path in a market area type setting.

Has anyone else seen it?

Patience is a virtue. Sheesh. Don't get all excited over a tv commercial. Save that excitement for when you finally get your car.

Well, you might have to wait a bit. However, here is a pic of the car(s) used in the commercial, on the day it was recorded.

You know, I thought the same thing. Although there is a silver one in front. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the first thing about computer imaging when incorporating special effects. However, maybe that was the contrast they needed when editors went back to add the snow on Lombard Street.

Does anybody live on Lombard street? Or actually see the taping? I saw the commercial and it was impressive. That is one crazy street. I drove down it once in my old integra and I had a deathgrip on the steering wheel cause of the twisties driving above sanity (I was 20). I wish I could do it again in a better car but that area always has tourists walking/driving down it. The street is a lot narrower than it seems on the commercial. By the way, I just love the Lexus commercials - they are a lot better than the Infiniti ones (remember the one where they had a leaf on some water and it just said Infiniti? - it was lame).

Yes you're right, it's what it is, chromakey imaging. The same type used by weathermen standing in front of a green or blue screen.
