1988 hyundai excel commercial

[bigrockslider]

why did they even compair them together

[Urbie4]

I had an '88 Excel -- 12 years and 160,000 miles later, it was still running pretty well. As for "since when is fwd a good thing..." one word: snow. Best winter car ever.

[JonathanMichaelR]

yea that's why we see more excel's fething better value than E30's on today's roads right? imbecile.....

[greasyperez]

the guy on the right was a tool

[lucinit1985]

The only thing this excelled at was breaking down.

[MyCrackRock]

This is more of a BMW commercial then anything else!

[JustAnotherJake7]

lolol Hyundai's of yesteryear were just shit.

I love our 86 325e though. It's fantastic

[Chris82bc]

BMW should remake this video and it should say, "24 years later the man on the left still drives this car while the man on the right is on his 5th Hyundai."

[bennyvega100]

funny, the BMW E30 in this commercial is one of the best, most reliable cars ever made. There are far more of them still around now than the piece of shit 87 Excel, you can bet on it.

[DMasterMensionz]

believe it or not that model bmw is still one of the worlds most reliable cars

[MrE30ftw]

try to find an 87 excel still on the road.

[jakesaintsrow123]

@MrE30ftw Now the BMW Is WAY Better than the Excel but yes I Still see Excels On the roads here. other week I Saw a Grey 87

[nightmonkey07]

To quote Jeremy Clarkson: "Front wheel drive is for the feeble."

[SweetHubby82]

The man on the Right, is Wrong

[ChinatownWieners]

Hyundai has changed a lot over the years.

[AMCtilldeath]

the other difference is, you will have a POINTS IGNITION SYSTEM YET, your excel will rot to shit in no time flat, you will have a POINTS IGNITION SYSTEM YET, a P.O.S. for a carburetor, a POINTS IGNITION SYSTEM YET, it will handle like garbage, you will have a POINTS IGNITION SYSTEM YET!!!, and you will most certainly be killed to death in the event of a collision... did i mention they used points ignitions on these....? funny for a car with the name, the Excel...

[TornadoWarning]

I'll admit Hyundai makes a great car these days, but back then, there was a reason it was 5 grand. My brother had one in medical school back in the early 90s and the damn thing couldn't drive on the interstate with the air conditioning on.

[imomo4]

6k for a brand new car? Damn that's like a deposit now...

[DummkopfRadar]

the diffrent is, that the man on the left drives a bmw 325 i e 30 first series !

[thaichubby101]

in Thailand, you can see BMW E30 more than Korean cars

[ninjacheech123]

the man on the left has a cute ass car.

[johannthebored]

Modern Hyundais are great cars, but... comparing that piece of shit to the E30? Wow.

[janadal86]

The man on the left is getting laid more

[ChinatownWieners]

The man on the left is probably still driving his.

[BimmerM5e39]

Hyundai had European styling and FWD WOW. To be honest when i was a kid I never or rarely saw one of these shitboxes on the road. Bmw's for damn sure till this day the E30 is a great driver.

[Lphilp100]

WOW front wheel drive. I've always wanted that!

[blahbla6666]

i tought they where going to dragrace ^^. The 325i still outdrag all hyundai's. And on a track the 325i would eat the most new hyundai's

[DJALIENPHANTOM]

The difference here is that the man on the excel is probably still a virgin. lol why did they make this commercial? it doesint make any sence.

[3312cdfp5674]

lol they say front wheel drive, as if its better

[jefecito33]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA



[HFLanciaStratos]

And I thought Saab were ridiculous for likening their cars to their jets... 

[jwatwater]

The man on the left has several girlfriends, respect, and prestiage. The man on the right... has a Hyundai.

[djkenny]

They were plagued with fit and finish and especially transmission ills. In 1990: they got way better. In 1995: They became very good cars. My friend had a 99 Accent with over 220k miles, base model, no options.... just sold it last week for $700. Still runs very well just had a cracked dash. The seats and carpet were in fine condition too. Body, everything is in nice shape. Wish they go the mileage of an old Geo metro, though. Some see too get close to that in the late 90's.

[NYrangrs1]

since when is fwd a good thing?

[kingstone1987]

@NYrangrs1 since is harder to lose control



[xxfoREVerxx112211]

@NYrangrs1 when your in the snow

[SANYUR]

I rather have a 88 Honda Accord LXi 

[Paiste402]

"Plus front wheel drive"

Is that a plus? I thought that was a downside myself.

The old excel looks like junk even when new, that BMW looks every dollar he paid for it.

[edy043]

The new hyundai are great cars now with beautiful designs!

[yTubeBlowsBigBalls]

OMG what a piece of shit car this was and stupid commercial. They should fast forward 7 years:

"The man on the left is no longer paying for his car, and can enjoy years of full ownership while having high resale value"

"The man on the right is also no longer paying to constantly fix his piece of rusted out shit car because he finally sent it to the junk yard"

[bennyvega100]

'88 BMW 3 series: one of the finest automobiles ever made

'88 Hyundai: a tin can with wheels

[JokerKung]

BMW <3

[davidrulzie]

I have one of these omg!

[C63AMGestate]

"plus front wheel drive"

that's like saying "this girl is just as sexy as this one plus she has herpes!"

And that's coming from a major Saab fan.

[bennyvega100]

@C63AMGestate

LOL good analogy

[hishonline]

no sense at all. it should be compared to LADA

[CraigTuckerSouthPark]

Ha ha ha. I remember both these cars. The Hyundai probaly couldn't compete with the BMW back in '88, but it sure could today.

[sketchyinc]

@CraigTuckerSouthPark In terms of quality probably, but still not in Prestige!

[luso2kx]

FWD makes sense if you live in a cold weather climate. I've had the opportunity to drive both FWD and RWD cars in snow and, worse yet, freezing rain. FWD has ALOT more control in those conditions than RWD

[BimmerM5e39]

@luso2kx That may be true but almost all FWD cars don't have LSD when many bmw's did 2 moving wheels are better than one if traction is needed. Most RWD cars with LSD and dedicated winter tires can be better than FWD cars in these weather conditions. In the end we know RWD makes a car feel a whole lot better to drive and FWD is for people who don't know how to drive and they are cheaper too so buy what suits you? Weak. Since the mid 90's cars changed I hate it. RWD luxury cars kept RWD alive.

[Ultimatealtima89]

I cannot believe they actually said "plus, front wheel drive". That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard

[TheOmegaeyes]

LMFAO! What a shameful commercial. I still see those BMWs all over the place, almost never an excel, thank God for that.

[thatBMWkid]

"The man on the right has all that, too, PLUS front wheel drive!" I would certainly not be marketing that as a plus. Front wheel drive takes all the character away from a car.

[rowsdower12]

@thatBMWkid For an enthusiast yes, but for 98% of the population they don't care or know if the car is RWD or FWD. They just follow what is marketed to them, FWD is better. In some circumstances it is. But for someone who loves cars no. There are some good FWD performance cars but ultimately RWD is where its at.

[shobin05]

Hyundai, cars that makes cents...for resale value...

[kopee35]

LOL! hyundai's crappy days *tears*

[TheLizardKing1967]

The man on the right doesn't have a pot to piss in. LMAO

[jakesaintsrow123]

@TheLizardKing1967 Now That His Hyundai is Long Gone to the Dump. He REALLY Doesn't have a Pot to Piss In ..haha :)

[TheLizardKing1967]

@jakesaintsrow123 LOL.. Exellent point.

[TheLizardKing1967]

@jakesaintsrow123 Yeah, FORD tried the same thing comparing the Ford Granada with a 450 SL. It didn't fly in the 70's - 80's or now for that matter. LOL

[jakesaintsrow123]

@TheLizardKing1967 Yea Haha ..Ford Though they could compare a Crapnada to a Benz Just because they stuck a Little Badge On the side stateing it was An ESS Model LOL :D

[TheLizardKing1967]

@jakesaintsrow123 Wouldn't surprise me. LOL

[conman5304]

The man on the left is probably still driving his...

[Pookie2419]

One big difference between these two cars, is that the man on the left has a car thats a pussy magnet while the driver on the right has to pay 2 times: 1. for convincing a hooker to sit in his car and hope she's not embarrassed to even walk to his car and 2. to have sex with him.

[sketchyinc]

@Pookie2419 NICE! Hyundai---Cars that make Cents for Hookers, LOL!!!

[stormvorm]

The man on the left has an optician with a good sense of humour.

[jriley1992]

They advertised this car like they actually thought it would be dependable. Seriously, they thought that a 1988 Hyundai could compete with a way nicer BMW? They were out of their minds.

[pattycarljackson]

@jriley1992 that was how long ago. and they are co mpeting with them now so looks like hyundai was out of their minds then but now they are better

[jriley1992]

@pattycarljackson lol Yeah Hyundai's are WAY better now, but back then they were awful lol.

[Watcher3223]

"But one big difference between these two cars is that the man on the left is still paying for his."

That's not a very good point, because, more than likely after a few months to a year, the man on the right is going to have to spend money to fix or replace his.

[mariofreak91]

There should have been, "10yrs later..." which car is still on the road?

[tingokuman]

@mariofreak91 thats so true my 318 has 375,000 miles.i got it with 120,000 in 1996 as a graduation gift my neighboor bought his excel brand new the same year.that car is rotting under a tree on the side of his house.and the beemer doesnt even burn oil. hyundai seems make good stuff now go figure

[boagley1]

@mariofreak91 And then 20 yrs, and so on! lol

[mariofreak91]

@Mikey77B I would gladly drive a new Hyundai, except maybe for the Accent because I strongly dislike hard plastic dashboards.

[Mikey77B]

@mariofreak91 I never even knew that (about the dashboard), but I just think the Accent is too small even for a single person - not enough metal wrapped around you.

[ItsssMatiiinnn]

@mariofreak91 Soo true lmao I didn't even know what an excel was up until 5 minutes ago from a youtube video.. hah!

[monk3yboy69]

@ItsssMatiiinnn I think most of us know the Excel as a Pony (quite appropriate...Ponies are slow and boring!) Pile if crap no mattter what it is called. One good thing about the excel was the motor.....made by Mitsubishi. At least you know the motor would be around 7 years later. The body and rest....well that was probably another story.

[VeryVeryMeanBastard]

@mariofreak91 not fair question... Disposable cars don't last that long.

[mariofreak91]

@VeryVeryMeanBastard 20+ year old Corollas are still going. It's a shame though that most people let cheap cars go to hell. =(

[boofdfast]

They said FWD,like it's a good thing or something... LAME. RWD is one of the good points about the BMW. The sad part is after all these years, the BMW is prolly still running and the Excel has prolly long gone to the junkyard. LOL

[Watcher3223]

@boofdfast

"They said FWD,like it's a good thing or something... LAME."

Well, understand the times.

In the 1980s, FWD was a big deal as this drivetrain layout was largely associated with economy and safety, two huge selling points for a nation that still vividly remembered the oil embargo of the 1970s and was still affected by Ralph Nader and his book "Unsafe at any speed."

[boofdfast]

@Watcher3223 I hear ya, FWD is still lame, though. lol

[MattTheSaiyan]

Stupid inane commercial. Thanks for uploading.

[910364]

Here in australia we had the 5 door hatch version and the women who drove them always looked a bit rough around the edges and would have stickers on the back saying zero to bitch in 3 sec. and young fat girls you would see them as well You can buy that BWM for less then excel price now anyway

[runjocar]

the man on the left has rapist glasses! haha:)

[mariofreak91]

at least that money in the bimmer went somewhere

[haxident]

yay r3v!

[SamHuard]

Yeah, but who the fuck would drive a Hyundai? Look at the guy in it, he's a plug. His glasses aren't nearly as large as the guy in God's Chariot.

[norcal02]

Hyundai on the roll to be #1? We're all in trouble. Every damn 4th car in Marin county during commute is a fucking Prius. All we need is more "smart" cars. Hyundai's are shit anyway.

[Mondafied]

@norcal02 they're one of the most reliable car companies in the United States.... Karma is a bitch.. isn't it?

[jeffsandychelsea]

@norcal02 Why are we in trouble? They make some pretty nice cars now. All I hear from any hater of any car brand is that "CAR X IS SHIT LOL CAR X SUX". But we all know that car companies have to make decent vehicles to sell any.

[LOVETOYOTAS]

@jeffsandychelsea excatly mate the haters have no proof to back up their hate for a car company and i agree they styling of their new cars is very nice.

[GeorgeGraves]

Oh...Hi R3V.

[kersh4w]

@GeorgeGraves *wave*

[matrixloader]

this was when hyundais where shit, today i would not see hyundai the same way. hyundai today is on a roll to be #1

[dpaanlka]

Yeah, still not a BMW sorry.

[intheflesh714]

i see an e30 on the road at least three times a day, cant say the same for the excel

[julianlee2]

hahahahahahahaha.....i wonder who fell for this
