THE SPOTS
"Pedestal" (:30) showcases the beauty of the Honda Civic by showing the vehicle from a variety of angles. At spot’s end it is revealed that the Civic is actually on top of a large, rotating pedestal stand in the owner’s driveway. In "Covered" (:30), a man pulls up to a house and goes to the trouble of placing a protective cover on his Civic. He walks up to the door to pick up his date, who, noticing the car is covered, asks if they are taking the bus. He responds, "What do you mean?"
Spots broke in mid-September.
