and for all you youngsters: VHS
Now that I am at home, I was able to view it. That is awesome. Thanks kzak. I thought you just meant it was a 60 second commercial. That is a 7 minute masterpiece. Too cool.

Some comments: I could not stop laughing when he used the words 'cut-off artist'!!! I had to pause it. I'm still cracking up.

I wonder why they didn't use an SE for the slalom test. And even with a GLE, it beat all other cars.

They said only the Mercedes rivaled the Maxima through the wet slalom. I wonder if they had used an SE if the Maxima would have done better.

What's up with them talking about the GLE, taking the camera and scanning all the GLE features (Bose, leather, power seats, etc.) and then when he says "CFC air conditioning", the camera shows a manual climate control system. ?

In the beginning, it's "The Maxima came in first", then in the middle of the video it turned to "The Maxima beat all but the ...". By the end it was "The Maxima was quieter than the Lexus..." (I'm assuming it was quieter than only the Lexus if they are saying this. ?)

Hey guys, I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff... how do I download this video to my hard drive from U-Tube?

I still have a love/hate relationship with snowflakes - this video reminded me of that.

P.S. Of course they chose pearl white on black leather for their infomercial. Is there any better combo?!

P.P.S. "Cut-off artist".

i feel like i should be watching this on a projection screen in a small room with cheap cushioned folding chairs while wearing 3d glasses. i can hear the salesman now, "alright! who's ready to buy a Maxima?!"
