I caught this last night during House or 24... something on Fox. Pretty nifty commercial. Looks like Honda is going right after the "active lifestyle" customer that the Prius currently attracts. Here it is in YouTube "HQ" goodness.
According to The Inpsiration Room, Honda is promoting the versatility of the Insight hybrid with “Beach”, a 30 second commercial using “The Honey Tree,” a track by Mostar Diving Club (Damian Katkhuda). Visual effects, editing and clever filming are used to create more and more surprises at the beach, with a game of checkers used to highlight the range of options available in the Honda Insight line of cars.
