Is there anything that won't fit into this car?

Anybody else catch that part at the end where the narrator said Truck (Ridgeline), Sedan (Type R ...????), Coupe (Civic coupe)?

I'm under no illusions that they're making a Sedan Type R. But is it still something of a stigma that the concept and admission of hatchbacks are still not marketable in an ad like this?

I noticed the same thing, thought it was a pretty silly error for them to make in a commercial...

Almost as silly as the Si reveal video showing a rear wheel burnout. :eek:
At least that one wasn't on television as a commercial for the brand. :( But yes, that was a pretty bad error as well!

Ehh... I'm not sure why we added the off-road RIDGELINE to this commercial.
Should have put more spotlight on the Rally Coupe + Type-R race heritage.
That, and the Type-R at a STOPLIGHT!? ... come on... makes the car look like a city driving car... :banghead:

Our commercials for the past year or so have been so far off TBH...

Actually... all the Hatchback commercials have been bad in the US... Canada's commercial was pretty good TBH.
