They don't make car commercials like they used to...

Back before "Pontiac is CAR" they used to make cool commercials. Although, they're on the right track with the G8's Spy Hunter commercial. I'm sure there are other ones out there but these two are my favorites.

This commercial apparently aired ONCE during a Super Bowl. Furious GM executives killed it quick along with the "Tiger Button" option.


And this one just because...

Mindz - funny you posted that... I just saw that for the first time tonight before you posted that. I wish they would bring back the Firebird too. Unfortunately, the powers that be seem determined to run the once great name of Pontiac into the ground. *depression*

Hmf, I resent that - I think the G8 is the farthest thing from running into the ground.

Anyways, I haven't seen these videos in over a year now...(saw 'em a while back on YouTube...) Thanks for posting them!

People seem to like the G8, which surprises me. I'm sure it's a great car. They just seem to be moving more towards the family sedan genre of cars. I won't be buying another Pontiac, I reckon, unless they make a new Firebird/TA though. I still don't understand why both can't co-exist. It's all GM. Lots that sell Chevy usually sell Pontiac too it seems. Seems like offering a Zeta platform Firebird would just mean more cars sold...

Get the new camaro and fabricate custom bumper and taillights and you'll have a firebird. They were always the same for the most part anyways.
