THE SPOT
In the :30 "Subterranean," a family pulls into a lot and instead of parking at the first available space, the dad decides to drive down into the lower levels of the garage. As the Honda Pilot heads downwards, the area turns into a cavernous netherworld, complete with a creature poking his head out to peek at the Pilot, which is able to handle the uneven path. Eventually the dad admits that he should have parked on the street. The voiceover states, "The four-wheel drive, two hundred fifty horsepower Pilot from Honda."
