[PlayHiFi]

Advanced electronics that ALWAYS FAILED

[avaltvali]

fuck gm-fuck its management-fuck its labor-fuck its dealerships-fuck its ripoff lemon cars

[AlexanderRozhenko]

Yep, and you better get used to looking at those trouble lights when you buy something from GM. lol

[bosscody123]

@AlexanderRozhenko not really?

[collsni]

I love going around to these commercials and saying how much Ford rapes GM

[GOPsMrDependable]

So it CAN fly

[lawlmann]

"Nobody builds pieces of Shit's like GM"

[optio4]

But digital dash readouts (particularly speedometers) never really caught on.

[tbonedlive]

@optio4 I prefer to look at a needle, you just don't feel comfortable looking at a number or even worse an expanding bar.

[logicalthinker78]

Here at GM, we use the same lights in our dashboards as you use on your Christmas tree...

[ga1999]

The days when you could read codes off a computer using a simple paper clip instead of having to spend $80 for an amateur scanner at NAPA.

[koioo2]

are these good old days ?

[ClefDeDavid88]

OMG! Their electronic engine management was the WORST thing about GM cars in the 80s! I know because I owned an 84 Fiero.

Despite that though, I so miss that car.

[theemceemurdah]

I don't care what anyone says, I love GM!!!!

[thaddeusj]

@theemceemurdah Me too. 

[knightprobe89]

awesome video

[koioo2]

@knightprobe89 you got it

[14words2liveby]

LMAO. what a load of shit. GM interiors=complete crap.

[RYwiccan]

Who care about cheap interiors? They build the best Engines, and transmissons, Thats what really matters. Dick!

[Allante715]

@14words2liveby

And your point is? Besides the interior does not make or break an automobile. There is alot more then just the entire. Engine, Transmission, Suspension, Steering.

[koioo2]

@14words2liveby includid bonnivile and iroc-z ?

or opel

[fujifrontier]

why the HELL is he accelerating so damn SLOWLY.... would have been doing 90-100 by the time this commercial was half finished

[Tuneman1984]

Maybe he was just out for a cruise on the shiny glass road to nowhere...it could also be that since the speed limit was 55 at the time, they couldn't show it doing more than that to encourage speeding

[peterdaniel66]

GM sweats the details because they couldn't get them right in the first place.

[whattheheck1000]

GM's good. Most models anyway.

[oldsmobile8894]

y the hell did gm get rid of the dig dash

[dstarks80]

It's cheaper to use analog guages.Digital guages are surely more modern looking. Analog guages remind me of the 60's.

[koioo2]

@oldsmobile8894 japanse citroen toyota use them wy did t gm made it better

[danielbarbu]

@koioo2 citroen it's not japanese ... it's french ... you know shit about cars and you still talkin' shit !!

[koioo2]

[Ronwu1984]

I miss the digital dash of the 80s....

[koioo2]

@Ronwu1984 so do i

[oldsmobile8894]

what song is plaking in the backround

[QuasiTraction]

Pure Garbage that Digital Dash stuff.

I have an 86 Berlinetta that had that. Key word "had".

[koioo2]

@QuasiTraction star wars

[smallz1975]

My Dads 89' S10 Blazer had digital gauges when he junked it i ripped out the digital gauges and got them to light up with out being in the truck

[zeppelin0wns]

but i guess its a camero?

[aveman3]

you spelled camaro wrong lol

[zeppelin0wns]

...that looks a lot like a delorean

[StMeade]

Word(s): several of them ...linked consecutively ... and just as kewl... cause they help convey a complex though, without ambiguity.

The commercial, Thanks for posting. Remember when you could watch TV FOR THE COMMERCIALS. The 80s were hot, even if the products weren't as good as the commercials.

[colouredbills]

WORD

[Malibunightrider]

wats sad is that even tho we have come a far way in vehicle electronics that damn check engine light is the only thing that tells u there is something wrong i mean dont u think by now they would have a program that tells u exatcly wats wrong

[vibe88]

The important "Check engine" light for most GM cars of that era!

[webmanc]

Notice at :08 you can thank GM for that annoying "CHECK ENGINE" light.

[palebeachbum]

This commercial is SO retro awsome! Ahh, the days of cars when digital gadgetry was the latest and greatest.  Love that 80's synth music too, haha.

[F41Driver]

That's cool as hell!

[danzapata]

cool

[koioo2]

@danzapata very coooollll
