@robbie4035able I understand what you are saying, but my whole point was to just buy a REAL musclecar in the first place, even if you have to put a hell of a lot of your own bodywork (replacing body panels, etc...). The end result (lets say you are rebuilding a GTO, Charger, etc...) is amazing!!!
Hey fellow viewers, have to admit, your comments are even funnier than her saying "Bullshit". Yeah, whenever I show this to a friend, their reaction is too common, at first, they're shocked, then I tell them it's an internal private reel from Chevrolet, well that explains how "bullshit" made it past the censors in '74. Yeah, life was different, but not that different.
If you ever wondered what it would be like to drive a sewing machine, the Vega was the closest you could get. I can still remember holding the gas to the floor as I would enter the freeway and it would take about :45 seconds for the car to get up to 55mph. Like she said..it was "bullshit".
@optio4 When you buy a lot of ad space in a magazine, it tends to make the magazine's editors quite enthusiastic about your car, no matter what it is.
VEGA: The car that would rust-out on the showroom floor. A real shitbox of a car,very high revving engine guaranteed to overheat & blow up. used lots of oil too.
The commercial was shown, but this isn't the released TV version. It's eather an outtake, or, more likely, a cut kept for internal humor. WE REQUEST MORE DETAILS FROM THE POSTER OF THE VID!!
@KayakMike1963 This is from a private reel. it contains many redone real ads this agency did. Some I couldn't post. I do have a funny Mazda I am thinking of putting up.
@MeritisDE I don't know about that, anyone who has ever owned a VW Vanagon, an Austin Marina, an Envoy Epic, a Renault Alliance, or any Fiat from the 1970s or 80s would believe that Europeans couldn't make a decent small car either.
I had that exact car when I was a kid. The engine blew so I dropped in a 262 V8 and Monza rear end and coils. After that, it was the most fun car I've ever owned. Looked completely stock and went like stink. Practical too. Just like owning a mini Nova SS.
The Vega/Monza/Chevette (My mother called it Shove-itte) and the "Nova" clones by Buick/Olds/Pontiac...
Every one of them designed to either lose a wheel on the freeway, have the engine blow up or just plain be so bad it barely moved let alone got you there...
Just more of the same in the eighties. We now can see why GM is having such a hard time. People finally got fed up with their "Bullshit".
@broot4u I had an '82 Pontiac T1000 (Chevette) and it was ok for the 5 years I owned it. The wheels didn't fall off, the engine didn't blow up and it ran ok. The stripes on the sides of the car came off within a few months and the headliner fell before I traded it. The car gave me what I expected from it but long term I don't know what it would've done. I traded that car in on a VW and kept it for 10 years.
@jtkirkfan2002 The didn't have censors back then or atleast I don't think so yet. Because they didn't have a law about bad words. But people now a days can say bullshit on TV too.
@counkev Are you kidding? Thanks to censors, Lucy and Ricky couldn't sleep in the same bed. Carol and Mike Brady had to both be widowed instead of divorced and there was none of the language allowed that you hear on TV now.
What mechanical changes are they talking about. We knew these cars to be good for around 40k miles and thats it. I remember them lined up at a junk yard in the early 80's. Boy GM stuck it to the public. Something to be said about the good work (or pay off) at Motor Trend. What a joke.

Meh. The Vega was not so bad; if properly maintained (especially, no overheating), they lasted quite well. I had a '74, it was a gem.

The Big 3 never knew how to built quality small cars.
As of 2011, they have improved somewhat. The Ford Fiesta has good reviews and has been proven in Europe.
When she says "bullshit", she isn't kidding. That car is "bullshit".
