just looked at the ad and I dont think its either one now as it shows snowy covered peaks in the background

As all the scenes are in RHD cars on normal side of the road my guess is now New Zealand South Island

New Zealand is a maybe as the Honda site mentions a holiday up for grabs there but no mention of where the scene is filmed

Can't think of another company putting motorcycles on mainstream advertising slots

I like Honda as a company. Some great achievements over the years

The baloon scene was filmed at the Iguazu falls on the argenitinian side near brazil.
The motor racing circuits were filmed in Japan and the other scenes were filmed in New Zealand. Oh and the singer is called Andy Williams.

It has been confirmed by Honda
