That was the Stealth fighter.  The Honda commercial shows the Stealth bomber,
and their version is based on a DoD "artist's conception" released last spring.
I don't know who is responsible for what is seen in the Honda commercial, but
it certainly isn't THE Stealth bomber, due for public rollout November 22.

This really doesn't belong in sci.space.shuttle, does it?  There is
rec.aviation....
