"Nobody demands more from a Datsun...Than Datsun!"

[kennyplay]

i had one, it had over 150K but I crashed it or it would still be going...

[skcdav410]

I have a 78' GX, and it's an awesome car!!!!

[bratattack5]

l miss the days of naff music in car adverts.

[3nasacova]

I kind of wish commercials were longer. Only the old ones though.

[notfragile33]

The shape of those things remind me of my Pekinginese!

[young7773]

when i was a kid my mom had one@1987. for fun we'd pull up the wood in the back floor boards and watch the lines whiz by on the road.

[MySegaSaturn]

1978: 48 MPG

2011: 40 MPG if you have a $40,000 hybrid

Where did we go so wrong? D:

[drizzetsrevenge]

@MySegaSaturn My Datsun is 30 years old, burns tons of oil, and just wants to die. But somehow still manages 40+MPG with bigger carb, ported head, etc. Datsuns just don't DIE!

[breaktobroken]

@drizzetsrevenge

True that!!!! my dads datsun pick up had 400,000 on it and it was still going

my 210 is about to hit 300,000 as well. Datsun made the best cars hands down!

[jfwalston]

@MySegaSaturn EXACTLY what I was thinking!

[999benhonda]

@MySegaSaturn it easy, cars today are twice as heavy!

[Lockemeister]

@MySegaSaturn a nation of idiots?

[1waffleiron]

@MySegaSaturn Higher crash test safety ratings = heavier, bigger cars.

[HaguSlayer]

@MySegaSaturn Those ratings are usually highly inflated. The EPA also changed their standards in measuring MPG back in around 2009 or 2008. Cars now would be the same mpg as they were before, but they are much much heavier and safer. =D

[noladol]

Great gas mileage!



[SvenDansk7]

Notice how they never said more falls! Haha

[adape0884frank]

Very good reliability in it.

[sgtrius]

cool commercial, i use to have a 82 b210 hatchback. dont remember it being as fast as it's portrayed here, though. anyone ever try to two lane pass on the highway with these, what a rush!

[tagalongismydog]

I had a 1973 b210. Bought it new for 3,000$ from saved while in the service. lasted for 12 years, until a drunk rearended it.

[Karmaffix]

Its funny cos car companys kinda delibratly make the cars so they dont last as long, making people have to buy new cars sooner. which in turn gives them more profit.

But to be honest with you right now, I havnt a bloody clue what im really on about haha

[JBofBrisbane]

@Karmaffix - if a car company built you a car that lasted forever, they would never sell you another one, because you'd never need to get rid of the first one. That's not good business...

[joh2]

@JBofBrisbane The B210 (aka 120Y) was reliable, however it did have a reputation for rusting at an early age...

[PhilliesBBall]

My first car :) .

[AppleUploader]

@PhilliesBBall cool because it's a true piece of shit :)

[SakuraSweet90]

i'm just fell in love with this car! 

[MattTheSaiyan]

These 1970s Japanese cars are better than 2010s Korean cars.

[jakesaintsrow123]

HELL YEAH!!

[jill221419]

@MattTheSaiyan Yes that is true it was my first car as well i Have one now 1978 B210 GX 70k miles only all orig just like it was 1978 again love my car.korean cars will never have that 30 years from now. even there 2001 accent is crap past 50k miles its junk already and my Datsun B210 GX still runs better at 33 years do the math.

[THX1205]

The Japanese Are Coming! The Japanese Are Coming! They Came & Conquer!

[chinasherry1961]

i clocked 290,000 on mine before a jerk ran a 4 way stop sign and sent it to the junk yard. that car would have ran for ever. Those engines just don't wear out

[andre555555]

i saw 1 of thoes today on the road! i gues they realy did give you more years for a car lol

[StoneCold75]

Wow I learned how to drive at age 7 in this car back in the early 80s..what a memory! Thanks

[Dkels219]

It's a long way to empty....In A Datsun!

[GorillazGames]

My 31 year old b210gx is still runnin like a champion!!!!

[gatoperezoso]

wow...that's awesome...!

[GorillazGames]

You know, wouldn't it be cool if Datsun were still an independant car dealer? They would be the leaders of lightweight efficient cars instead of Honda. Too bad Nissan bought them out years ago.

[CamaroAmx]

@Datsun was always nissan. datsun was the american name for nissan.

[OsbornTramain]

great ad!!!!
