appears to be some sort of weird move to appear trendy on social media (video is filled with hashtags for those who do not watch).

sort of bizarre to be honest
I believe they're trying to market towards younger buyers. Typically younger civic buyers upgrade to accord. Don't see anything weird with it, I enjoy the video.

Um OK, what's the point of your comment?

The vid was made for fun. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Shit.

It was more entertaining that reading half the comments on this forum to be honest.
First, there is no need for vulgarity or to be rude, second if this is what you consider "entertaining" you need to get out more. :)

Yea that was my angle.... and I am certain the creators will take our criticism in stride as we may not be the intended target demographic.

Marketing to Millenials, I think. I preferred the ad where the Civic was coming out of the engineer's head better! lol

Honda has often done quirky commercials online.

The OP video reminds me of that TV show from the early 2000's Full Metal Challenge that was a spin-off of Junk Yard Wars. The did the bowing thing on that show.

Rube Goldberg ads were pretty cool.

I liked this one a lot better, and when it first came on like a month or two after I bought it, I kinda squealed a little lol.

There is no point, really. But that marketing budget isn't going to spend itself!
