Honda Live Advert

Honda (UK) staged Britain's first ever truly live TV advertisement on the 29th of May 2008 on Channel 4. The three minute live spot -- which aired at 8.10pm -- was shown in real-time with no special effects, demonstrating the 'Difficult Is Worth Doing' philosophy of Honda's marketing campaign for its new Accord car.

the_slick. we get that same car...and it`s called the Acura TSX...and it`s not very good looking at all. About the commercial...i can understand it being difficult, but overall, it was pretty boring.

Grimninja is correct, the plane you see at 0.11 crashed at skydive dropzone Lillo in Spain. It was a PC-6 Pilatus Porter It lost a wing and 2 people died, the pilot and a jumper, the rest made it out.

I thought there were no special effects. I definitely saw two computer generated text boxes at the beginning and end. FAKE!
