1988 Pontiac Commercial #1

[BigSCTVfan2]

If they kept making car commercials like this, GM wouldn't have needed a government bailout.

[ridder6689]

@BigSCTVfan2 Thats true, mabey if they brought back the firebird around the same time as the camaro their stock would have sky rocket and attract many happy buyers.

[FSinatra1982]

I use to love these commercials when I was a little kid back then. I forgot all about them until coming across this video. Thanks for uploading and bringing back memories for me. 

[wvd1979]

The girl at 0:14 is cussing him out because he bought a Bonneville.

[MrCavalier82]

@wvd1979 I think it was a Grand Am, but all the same

[renizer]

it's still pretty damn awesome, but the 1987 version was better xD RIP poncho

[Tohdman0]

Drive a Pontiac and get slapped!

[chococat1977]

(sniff)...bye pontiac :(

[bicostp]

If only the Grand Am was half as awesome as this ad campaign was the brand could still be alive today.

[kylewinsbig]

get out of my dreams... get into my pontiac

[pannoni1]

Hopefully Pontiac and Michael Jackson are happilly in peace together nowadays. I used to LOVE all things '80s, now I simply cry when I see something realizing that they just don't make things like that anymore.

[TheBob0416]

@pannoni1 yeah! same here!!

[jeckelbro24]

My first car was a Pontiac Grand AM 1988. I love Pontiac, sorry to see Chief go.

[3800fiero]

I actually shed a tear when I heard about Pontiac being discontinued. I will ride Pontiacs for as long as I can!

[JWROWE3]

23 years later, this jingle still sounds good. Sign of a good writer.

@JWROWE3

great comment

[TheArfdog]

Ride Pontiac Ride ---- UUUHHHH

[TheArfdog]

0:14 that dude was like "bitch i saw you cheat, get outta my face!!"

[rezek71]

WOW! WHAT the hell happend to our country- If as if someone pulled the plug on us! Women loved Men and we had an excellent soundtrack to it all. Then enter the 1990's and welcome to Yo MTV Rap and the decline of Americana.

---RIDE! Pontiac Ride!...We Build Excitement!

[mzwere1]

@rezek71 Yes, it seems like another world doesn't it? Yeah, by the mid 90s the music went to cRap and girls began to dress and look like crap. It's just one big crap fest today. For me the 80s were last worthwile decade. The very early 90s weren't too bad but only because they were still a carry over from the late 80s. However once the 90s came into their own it became one living hell of ugliness.

[trapperman1974]

@rezek71 Couldn't agree with you more. We thought the rap hiphop culture would go the same way as disco, but unfortunately not. America's not what it used to be.

[comgeek24]

People talk about how cheesy the '80s were, but they're more likely to remember the jingles and the music from the cheesy '80s than they are likely to remember anything from now.

[zoochmang]

Where do I find the song for this commercial???

[MattTheSaiyan]

I know late-1980s cars like these get a lot of mocking in the press these days, but compared to what Chevrolet and Ford now make, they look lovely.

[toyotacooper]

RIP pontiac

[83Brokenwings]

that blond guy at 0.08 was so cute! nothing like 80s men at all!!!!

[mzwere1]

I remember this one too. Man, seeing it now I don't how it could get anymore 80s than it is. Love the girl in white. That was when women still wore decent looking dresses and shoes and not the unfeminine crap of today.

[mogulsports]

Wow! The two guys at :06 are clearly gay. That's very progressive for 1988.

[fuhteng]

Such a sad fate for the company. Forced to sell badge-engineered Chevy people carriers and that horribly ugly (but very well equipped) Aztek, by the time Pontiac finally got a car worthy of the name in the G8 GT and GXP, it was dead-man walking.

[classicautofan1]

RIP Pontiac.

[AFN1991]

does somebody know the name of this song?

[classicautofan1]

I want the soundtrack!

[goldendragonfish]

@AFN1991 "Pontiac: We build excitement" by: "who the hell would care?" (Except you, of course, sorry.)

[SnarkLicker]

I wanna know which ad executive looked at the 87 Bonneville and decided it should be in this commercial with this music. I mean, the Bonneville doesn't even look like a car. It looks like a box festooned with other boxes with the wheels from a lawnmower stuck to the bottom of it.

[alstojm]

Where is the Bonneville in this commercial? I can't find it.

[starkid77]

I love that righteous 80's wang chung sound!

[rezek71]

@starkid77 Wang Chung? What are you smoking? ;) Try Whitesnake and Miami Vice.

[DerMetzger]

Gotta love those Fieros.

[ridder6689]

I love those commercials,Even the Firebird its my favorit Pontiac car,I have a feeling with the new 09 Camero ready to hit the dealerships soon i sense a Fifth generation Trans Am concept.

[NOLAgrandAM]

hahahaha brings my childhood back

[greatbison]

It's hard to believe that there were once "New" cars.

[CoffySarai]

Everything about these Pontiac commercials rock!!! The hair, the music, the clothes...ahhh the 80's. It doesnt get any better!

[rocksmeller99]

@CoffySarai

you ain't kidding. we didn't know how good we had it

[dondonp12004]

Wow, I didn't know Pontiac was one of the sponsors of "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

[InspectorZenigata]

omg i sometimes forget how cheezy the 80's were.... ugh! loved it though!

[bechvid]

hehe.. nice

[davidandnidia]

Love those 80s Pontiac commercials.
