Leroi Moore gets "Smooth" in new Honda Ridgeline Promo
October 14th, 2007
Leroi Moore jams on his saxophone in a new Honda Ridgeline Commercial.
"Tough Meets Classy" is the new theme for the Honda Ridgeline promo spots released last week on television. Honda released four different themes to promote the new 2008 Honda Ridgeline, each to talk up specific vehicle attributes.
The "Tough meets classy" theme features women drinking tea with Chuck Norris stopping by to crash the party; "Rugged meets spacious" has a lumberjack floating in space; "Tradition meets innovation", has a father at Thanksgiving dinner whipping out a laser knife to cut the turkey; and "Rough meets smooth" takes place on a fishing boat battling savage seas, and huge waves swamping the sailors on deck. On deck with the sailors is impeccably dressed LeRoi Moore jamming on saxophone.
