I have been a Honda owner for 15 years and watch the ommercials. Hold on Tight and the Elvis commercials are the best I have seen from any auto company. Thanks for being true to the product and the catchy tunes..
That same song was used in Cutlass commercial with Precilla Presley 20 years ago.
i'menjoying HONDA COMMERCIALS BECAUSE I INTEND TO BUYAN oDYSSEY after my body heals from a paralyzing stroke. My dream is to get out of hospital and go back to my home so the "hold on"tune is amorale booster for me.

Best wishes in your recovery Richard.
I have never written a comment on any commercial before. I feel the need to give congratulations to Honda for this commerical with the song "Hold on Tight to Your Dreams...it is a beautiful presentation and enjoy seeing it every time it is on. I find I am siging the tune to myself during the day. Thanks for the pleasure of hearing and seeing this commerical.
Best auto commercial on the tube.Great song "Hold on Tight to Your Dreams"
Just love this commercial. Everytime I hear the song Hold on thight to your dreams it makes me so happy
I love, love, love this commercial. Everytime its on I start to do a little bounce and it uplifts me. I want to record the song and pipe it all over my house. Hold on tight to your dreams is now my favorite saying.
Absolutely the best commercial on TV! The words/music of "Hold on Tight to Your Dreams" are brilliantly merged with such beautiful scenes that the Honda seems to be taking me away from my TV set. Luckily, my own Honda is waiting for me in the driveway.
Love your commercial with music "Hold on Tight to Your Dreams". The best I've seen and heard in a long time. I "mute" most commercials because they are so irritating and some are down right stupid and insult normal intelligence.
I rarely pay attention or even watch commercials. Whoever came up with this one is brilliant. Love it!
I love this commercial - I stop and watch every time it's on. Great music. Great photography. Great Kevin Spacey. It's really uplifting!
Absolutely love the commercial, can't get the music out of my head. The verse in the song shown on this page is not the verse that is used in the commercial, it is another verse from the original ELO song.

Goldie, thanks about the verse.

I actually miss seeing and hearing the Honda ad with the song "Hold on tight to your dream". I've never written to a company before to compliment them on an ad but this one has stayed in my head. Great ad--I hope it will play again!
Honda's ad with the music 'Hold on tight to your dreams' is the best auto commercial I have ever seen.
Keep it going!
Keep it going!
