ricco67 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Trying to get some pics of downtown (too darned cloudy), I noticed something odd by the Hyatt. Turns out they were shooting some street scenes. Anyone have a clue as to what it is for?I don't think it was for tree of life, though.They had a kia sportage with out plates. I will try to post pics later.

ricco67 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Gee. Who knew they made a Mercedes in a "drive by shooting" style? What model is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yeah, I saw this. I figured they were shooting a Sportage commercial or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Turned out they were filming again on sunday, so I shot a few more pics. It definitely looks like a car commercial. 2011 Model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Given the shape of the Kia's registration plate, I would say the commercial is not for US consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yes, its an all - new, redesigned 2011 Kia Sportage. It goes on sale this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniepwils Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It is a KIA commercial. I was running in downtown and happen to run by it and could see the monitors in the back of the movie Mercedes vehicle and it looks almost identical to a car commercial.

JLWM8609 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I've seen downtown Houston used as a backdrop for other new car commercials. Are we becoming the automobile commercial capital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Sorry just saw this thread. It did appear to be a Kia commercial shoot. They were shooting multiple different Kia Sportages over that weekend (Saturday/Sunday) at various locations downtown. One of the producers tried to accuse me of corporate espionage for standing around taking photos in public... I'm not joking. The production crew was illegally using amateur band two-way radios also.

Ross Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Looks like it's for Middle Eastern countries, most of them show commercials in English and Arabic.I did notice the Chevrolet Malibu Diamond edition commercials were shot here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
