1977 Toyota Celica commercial

[SANYUR]

Only the Porsche 928 during 1978 can at the time be called the car of the 80's

The Millenium Falcon only wished it was as reliable as a Toyota.

But it might not have rusted as badly as one....

Pretending to be like a DeLorean DMC-12 in the movie, Back to the Future... Sorry, but you suck! :-P

[Blakeoffire]

@MsDaphneMoon But this commercial came out in '77 and the DeLorean didn't come about until 4 tears later, in '81...!! Back To The Future came out in '85...! LOL... ;) Oh well... funny stuff here nontheless..!

This commercial may have aired in 1977, but the Celica shown is a 1978 model.

[HoneyMrBunny]

isn't that celica-supra?

Built to last? ive never seen a body rust faster than old toyotas. Love em cos the drive trains are indestructible.

[mikedsd]

i remember this commercial, and the Celica did look way ahead of it's time... if they could make an affordable version of this car today with just a few styling updates, i bet it would sell very well!

That very car, down to the color, was my first car. It was a 1978 Celica, not a 1977. It was the first model year of the new body style.

[TheLackofattack]

@BNPhx Its still probably cranking around somewhere.

1978 2 1981

[dona83]

This car car was available from 78 to 81 I believe. 78-79 had round headlights, 80-81 had rectangle headlights.

Car of the 80s? This generation of Celica was replaced  in 1981!

[madhatter0110]

Wow! A car so amazing its engine can run in a total vacuum and steer while in outer space. **note the sarcasm**

[marktsheppard]

wow! good commercial, even today it's cool

[Paulosoy]

I think it was inspired by Star Wars, but I think the ad is from 1979, not 77.

[jasontlewis]

That's not a 77

[UNBOXINGCAR]

as always american commercial rules, also 30 years ago, in italy the commercial sucks especially about cars
