Old school Type R comercials in Japan

I had been looking for this for years, and someone FINALLY posted them on Youtube.

Thought I'd share, sorry if its a repost. I especially love the 98 spec one. One of my favorites! Its the CM that convinced me to buy an R over the Evo V.

EDIT: Just a note. Its extremely rare for Japanese car manufacturers to make commercials where they have the actual sounds of the engine in the commercial. The usually dub music, narration, or a muffled and quieter engine over it. Honda is one of the few that allowed the full sounds of the engine in the commercials.

96 spec

Thanks for posting! Those make me miss the days of un-watered down, fattened-for-americans cars...

The current accord is as large as a lincoln town car from that era. how sad...

Michael J. Fox was the ultimate teen idol back then, so any commercials that had him in it was an instant success. Honda loved MJF.

Honda, Nissan, and Toyota do a lot of their commercial shoots in Southern California, because the weather is nicer there. The funny thing is, most of the cars that they do the commercial shoots for are JDM only and never see US soil other than for commercial purposes. Not to mention, they usually use Caucasian models (as opposed to Japanese or even Asian models) to drive the cars. Part of the kind of twisted Caucasian fetish that the Japanese media has.
