[vfIskullangel]

That car looks fresh :D

[chadberry75]

man..i luv that blonde...

[MattTheSaiyan]

That car looks sexy!

[offthelinegt]

Nice to see these old commercials, thanks for posting. I'm gonna go take my '88 GT for a spin now! :o)

[battyguy]

High heals walking on gravel.. nice shot!

bahahahhaha!!

[Tuneman1984]

I've always wondered - why is the guy reading a magazine about wagon wheels at the beginning? Good grief he needed some excitement in his life! (I guess that's where the Pontiac came in...)

[MTLbigJ]

people who say the 84 is shitty are full of shit.... my dads 84 is still going strong to this day...

[longwalkshortpier]

I can't believe the ignorance regarding Fiero and the supposed fire risk. I've seen an F-150 catch fire due to cruise control and so what?! any vehicle fire is going to be sensational! I have 168k miles on my V6 Fiero GT and it's still here! GM had an initial sabotage batch of bad 4cyl in 84, and the wire junction was moved away from the manifold in 85-88. The car outsold Corvette and profitable every year it was made. The problem was GM overproduced 84 model year and saturated the 2 seater mkt

[hudson501]

I wonder if GM will continue to market the Pontiac in Canada despite it being dropped here in the U.S. after 2009? Wicked!

[LETHLSS]

hehe, wicked

[DeTucciBill]

Wow! That is rare! Love the Fiero -- my fav. car. Thanks for posting.

[LovePontiac]

lmao! It's great how they could get away with such cheesyness back then.

[1200v]

not sure thats an 1986...maybe an SE. Looks more like a 85 GT. Thanks for posting.

[ximustbeinsaynex]

You can ID it as an 85 GT because of the grey ground effects. If you look close in the rear view (at 0:15 sec) at the decklid, it does say Fiero GT which, being a notchback also provides positive ID that it can only be an '85 GT.

[serloinz]

arrg i was hopin to c the cross eyed guy.. or is that d.i.a.m.o.n.d  diamond lol

[Captainskier]

Didn't Fieros commonly have engine fires?--or am I thinking of another car? Wicked...lol.

[briskmtdew]

the 84 fieros do due to some kind of oil problem..you can fix it though i have an 84 and mine hasnt had that sort of problem though..very rare

[ximustbeinsaynex]

About 200 fires occurred only to '84 model year Fieros. ALL '84 Fieros were recalled, every last one, with modifications being made to eliminate the fire hazard. Several parts were redesigned for '85 and later Fieros and all 130,000+ 1984 Fieros were retrofitted with these parts, basically new exhaust shielding to keep oil off of it.

[landongendur]

The '84 model in particular had a high failure rate of its engine rods that posed a fire risk if ejected from the engine. I drove my '85 4-cylinder model 245K and had no problems.

[drumagon]

I think I read about that AFTER getting my 1985 XD

[orville1960]

stay away from the LANGLOIS, do not seek the sandblasting

[orville1960]

shit plastic car

[briskmtdew]

ahhhh, yes but saturns are also plastic as well as mannnnnny other cars

[ximustbeinsaynex]

yeah, exactly like the panels on a brand new Corvette! Would you call them shit, too? I suppose YOUR car has a 100% rust and corrosion proof body, which is not made up entirely of light weight composites which bolt directly to a space age subframe, like the Fiero was? Sure, I bet!

[jklmn125]

Lisa Best is now the Morning DJ on COOL-FM in Winnipeg.

[BuickEnclave]

Sexiest 80's GM car

[briskmtdew]

indeed.....the 84's have my heart =D but perhaps thats because i have that year

[rcraigger]

Lisa's still at Golbal where she's been (formerly CKND) for years... just doing citywatches once in a while i think.

[cinquade]

Thats so 80's lol

[khunopie]

Hahaha... wicked is the Devil who sold you chassis "undercoating" for $400!

[alexzarazua]

I got an 86 trans am, its way to late to put on the undercoating right? I don't now nuthing about cars...

[MxwellSlipp]

clean the bottom so it is free of dirt and rust then go for it! have a great day!

[RetroWinnipeg]

Oh my goodness...look at the 0:18 mark. I think they pasted Lisa Best over an older "Wicked" girl. You can see her face for a 1/4 of a second before Lisa appears... Looks like this is the 1986 version of an older commercial, guys.

[Tuneman1984]

OMG, there is a completely different person there lol!! I always thought it looked glitchy. Great post though

[juniorsurprise06]

@RetroWinnipeg , You are so right and how did you notice? I do remember the older commerical and the girl as well. It was before the Lisa Best and Brother Jake Edwards (of 92 CITI) era.

[bluecollarteen]

ahhhh the Fiero, great car, way better than miada

[arglebarglefoofara]

now THATS retro!

[bluedonkeyman]

what ever happened to lisa best?. I hung out with her a bit in high school

[markallenkellner]

Wow, Lisa Best has aged. Those cars can still be found in Transcona.

[fruchick]

"Best" commercial ever.

Keep 'em coming... I think I love you.
