Lexus ES 350 Spot Bores

Here is, perhaps, one of the most uninteresting car commercials we’ve seen in, well, ever. Trying to highlight the engineering feats of the new Lexus ES 350, Team One Advertising, along with Digital Domain, have created spot with an oddly mismatched voiceover, awkward pacing and the inclusion of special “computer aided design” effects intended to reinforce the spot’s concept but, at least to us, don’t. No doubt the digital effect and production of this spot are impressive but they can’t make up for the less than exciting message the spot tries to convey.
