This is still a damn nice commercial.

Now what they need to do is bring back something like the Legend.

I agree. A nice departure from traditional advertising.

note: each of the 4 horses represents acura's competitors.

The horses are (facing the stable at the start) BMW, Audi, Merc, and Lexus. You can make out the signature logos of each brand if you pause the vid

The mechanical pony's eyes are also shaped like each brand's headlights, to set them apart.

genius advertising there acura. really on point

It’s also representing how their competitors are turbocharged (mechanical horses) while Acura is still naturally-aspirated (organic horse). Honestly brilliant piece of advertising.
