New Civic Commercial for the US!

I've been seeing this commercial for a few days, and have not been able to find a video of it. Basically, the new Civic commercial (for the US...to be clear lol) starts off showing the Civic (A GG 4DR EX) and the window opens and it shows all these different alarm clocks ringing, and the guy sleeping wakes up, and when he gets out of bed, his wall opens. When he approachs the opening wall, you see each Civic with each color selection for the Civic 4DR in front of him. Each color represents a different lifestyle, and he suddenly morphs into all the different people taking on all of those lifestyles. So they all get into the Civics and some other effects are shown, and then they all drive to these voting booths. So they all get out of their Civics and enter the voting booths, and on the ballots are a lot of choices, but in its new style lettering (with the bold sharp letters, like on the back of the Civic) you see the word "Civic" and each guy fills in the dot next to it, and just as this happens a voice comes on and says "It's your choice" or "You have the power to choose" or something like that, and then they show the GG 4DR EX again and the guy says "Reverse Your Thinking". I wish i could find the video, because the commercial is fantastic and very creative!

They [honda] seriously need a serious 'Si' only commercial that depicts what the car is, not what would happen if you drop 50 grams of drugs and hallucinate. (bouncing the Si over rooftops)

They think it's going to appeal to the age group that they are targeting. My generation is doing the marketing now. We have issues.

Yeah they need to show the Si blasting down the 1320.. (Even though the stock times are a measly high 14 or low 15).

I was watching coverage of the Wii launch on G4 this morning and saw the new Civic Si commercial. Basically, it's CGI and takes in the world of TRON (80's movie -> guy is digitized into a videogame world) where three SIs are the lightcycles and it opens/closes with a silver SI with a black hood.
It's not as cool as the red SI commercial with Galang playing in the background but it's nice to see the Si advertised.

I liked the Tron commercial, especially when I saw the red one.
