What do you think of this ad?
No special effects apparently, really hard to believe though

It looks cool. It must have taken a lot of patience to film that, though.

The only Japanese car ad I saw in Korea was Lexus. Personally I think used Jap imports (the ones they throw away) are better than some of the leading Korean cars. I drive SM3, and it's not bad, but has no power. I have driven a 1988 honda prelude, before, and it absolutely kicked butt.

Honda is supposed to be opening dealerships in Korea this year.

cool, I wonder how much they'll cost. I wouldn't recommend driving in Seoul though, not that I've tried. I drive because I don't live in Seoul. Thank God.

Good. Nice style. Or at least more style than a Honda usually has.

That commercial is much too long and boring. Ugly car as well. I had a 97 Honda Civic Coupe that was cool.

(Secret...I think your SM3 is basically a Nissan Sentra; it's bigger brother the SM5 is a Nissan Maxima)

I had an Impreza Turbo for 10 months before I came here. It is a hard car to follow!

I remember looking at an ol er used Honda Accord parked for sale in someone's yard. I couldn'tbelieve it: it had 350,000 miles on it and the owner still wanted $3,000 for it. Body was perfect and it ran well.

As far as I know, the SM3 and SM5 are basically Japanese cars - with Toyota Engines.

There is an official Honda bike shop in Kangnam but they only have a few models.
