This video is called “The Honda Cog”. It’s a great example of a Rube Goldberg machine. This is an actual ad shown in Europe for the Accord wagon that is only available there. It took 8 months and 607 takes to get this ad. There are no camera tricks or any other special effects to make it work. Some people would have you believe that it is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors, but this is not, honest! Advertising standards (at least for the automotive business) state that what ever is shown has to be what is actual fact. Like when you see an SUV ad with a ton of stuff cramed into it, all of that stuff has to actually fit. Honda has been known to push the envelope a little with there ads and what the cars can do and hold. Check out some of their other ads on their website or youtube. In the meantime enjoy “The Honda Cog”.
