I wish someone had a version with the sound and video matched up the way it was meant to be, still cool though.

Kick !Removed!!!! I remember when this commercial aired, even though I thought it wasn't true, I still liked it. In actuality, that commercial is legit.

Hi:

I saw that commercial and thought it was different and great at the same time. But I bet none remember that Buick/GM made a rebuttal of it, doing the same. I bet no one finds that one. I will try.

They also have one of the early traction control commercials on there..which weren't nearly as common.

I think Nissan also made one for the Altima; both rebutting and complementing Lexus at the same time; using similar lighting they were like "our 13k car is almost as smooth as this 40k car."

Brilliant piece of marketing. I still remember the launch ad; with the car driving through the countryside. I haven't see that one anywhere.

Neat commercial.

Unfortunately, my LS400 would knock the glasses over @ 35 mph with the vibrations I have. My motor mounts are bad though I believe, but after 17 years and 210K miles, thats OK huh? ;)

Is the voice-over the same guy who does them today? Sounds like him.

Very cool.

James Sloyan. His voice is amazing. he's been in alot of stuff including playing a romulan defector in star trek the next generation. He's still doing voice work for them to this day.

Bigbuggie, i think the same thing about the ls400 crank. :D its a very distinctive hi pitched start. I love it. you're not alone. the 1uz sounds awesome.
