Friday Car-Ad Nostalgia

This has to be the best car commercial ever, made by Isuzu for the Gemini back in the ’80s. There was no CGI back then, so these are all real stunts, including the epic team drift battle. Be sure to watch the whole thing through for maximum appreciation. Makes me want a Gemmy, though I suspect it wouldn’t handle like these ones…This has to be the best car commercial ever, made by Isuzu for the Gemini back in the ’80s.

Proving Nissan had some weird ones, how about this for the Nissan Skyline? It reminds me of an ad for He-Man or Transformers circa the same era.

Getting sexy is this for the Fairlady Z (S130). It’s got a definite Kill Bill vibe about and does in fact feature a fair lady.

For the Mitsubishi Evolution VIII they came up with this montage, really pushing the model’s rally heritage. It will no doubt bring a tear to an Evo fan’s eye, especially with that line at the end.
