    There was a commercial during the Lakers/Jazz game on Saturday, 4/25/09, for some movie or music video or something....all I saw was a second of a yellow F355 GTB with aftermarket wheels....and then my friend changed the channel before I could stop him.

    Did anyone see it? Anyone know how to get a copy of that commercial or see it again? I could have sworn that was my 355.

    Must've been mine, filmed when I was driving by the studio (I live just down the street from ESPN). Kidding of course about being in the vid...but good idea for 355 photo ops next to the satellite dishes. :D

    I too noticed it, but I did not recognize the celebrity standing in front of it. Odd.

    I also noticed the yellow center caps, and I thought they looked great.

    Yep I have seen that several times during the playoffs. Saw it during one of the Hawks games too I believe. I saw it and rewound it on tivo to make sure it was a 355.

    any chance you can get a screenshot on your tivo? I'm seriously curious of it's my car....there are only so many yellow/black GTBs with black wheels and chrome lips.

    I saw the commercial as well and looked like a GTS to me. The guy standing next to the 355 says "handles like a dream" and then it cuts to the next scene.

    Was it Kobe standing in front of it saying it handles like a dream?

    Nope, not Kobe. Some white dude. No clue who he is. Next time I see the commercial I will pause and snap an iPhone pic for you.

    Do you have yellow center caps? they really stand out against the black wheels.

    It wasn't Kobe. There is a guy who looks like Kobe on the commercial though.

    I could have sworn I saw it on TNT, but I'll keep a look out tonight and see.

    I definitely saw it on TNT during the Lakers-Rockets game. I think it's just trying to hype up a possible future matchup between Kobe and Lebron. It shows a yellow F355 with black aftermarket wheels (BBS style I Think). The guy standing next to the car says, "handles like a dream." pretty cool, I'll pay more attention next time.

    THANKS!......but no, it's not....I could've sworn it was a GTB the first time I saw it; but I only caught a glimpse.

    I saw that commercial tonight. It's a Vitamin Water commercial that they play on ESPN during the NBA playoffs.
