The Honda Crosstour is the innovative new Accord. It’s been a big hit in its short tenure on market as a new vehicle for 2010. In the Honda 30-second commercial, an animated squirrel with an insatiable appetite for “squirreling away” all things cargo, does so with a bunch of stuff stashed in back of the Crosstour.
The scene is set to the tune of “Funky Stuff” by Kool & The Gang.
“Squirrel” is part of an integrated, multiplatform advertising campaign developed by Honda’s long-standing agency of record, RPA, to support the vehicle launch.
