Yep, saw it last night during Top Gear, I thought it was an RX-8 commercial, but it was for the tires. It was good anyway, I enjoyed it, and it gave my wife another chance to call me a dork.

"An on-ramp is a terrible thing to waste". Nice red RX-8 but it never really showed the car clearly. The average bonehead will probably not even notice that it's an 8.

Doesnt show tires or car much due to fast changing scenes. What a shame, really wanted better look at that car

Saw it this morning for the first time...

Pretty sweet commercial. I get the feeling a lot of people will be saying, "whoa, what kind of car is that" *smiling*

Pretty cool commercial, sad that Dunlop makes a better commercial for the RX-8 than Mazda...

You can see the commercial if you're into Formula 1 racing. I see it at least twice every race weekend. If you're not into racing then just Tivo the race and fast forward until you see some zoomin' going on.

I didn't think it sounded at all like a rotary of any kind or an rx8. It sounded more like an average v6.
