Here's an explanation I read somewhere (broken into the next 3 comments):
"And you thought those people that set up a room full of dominos to knock over were amazing... believe it or not, just unbelievable!!

When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six, and only six, hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of
"Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make this film.
There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time, exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again.
in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!).
Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voice-over is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten.
They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real... oh no J.
The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, theywere ready to change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence.
In addition, it is two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply
how about those funky windshield wipers...?? On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically... as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit weird in the commercial.
At cost of $6.2 million for 90-sec commercial, this is world's costliest ad and hands down winner in the world of ads. Amazing stuff anyway...
