#3092 of 3540 Tire commercials...car...same thing. by jipster Nov 02, 2006 (6:23 am)
Can't really understand the direction tire commercials have taken lately. It use to be about safety, mileage , and performance... actual video of "real life" tires would be shown. Now you have a bunch of scantily clad young women and men dancing cheek to cheek in the rain.   I guess the next thing we will see, is some commercial where the Michelin Man is walking down a beach wearing a thong and holding hands with a Hooters girl. Who knows.

Replying to: carlisimo (Nov 02, 2006 12:17 am) LOL that's hilarious, indeed like an SNL commercial parody. Wow, what an ugly time.   Shamefully, I will admit I kind of like those primitive LED warning lights though.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 5:35 am) I remember the 2.3 in the one we had was labeled "HSC", although I don't recall what it meant.   It really was a non-performing car. I am pretty sure my fintail could easily dust it in almost any performance measure, and get almost the same mileage to boot. But for those dark days of domestics...it wasn't the worst thing I guess.
#3095 of 3540 Don't hold me to it... by andre1969 Nov 02, 2006 (9:14 am)
but I want to say that "HSC" meant "High Swirl Combustion?" or maybe it was "Carburetion"? Replies to this message: fintail (Nov 02, 2006 9:43 am)

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 9:14 am) That rings a bell, something about "swirl". The car was FI, so I hope it wasn't 'carburetion'.

Replying to: carlisimo (Nov 02, 2006 12:17 am) Black Gold was awful. The car had become a caricature of itself by then, bloated and overpriced.   That must've appealed to the gold chain set, I guess.   -juice
#3098 of 3540 Good lord... by andre1969 Nov 02, 2006 (11:43 am)
that '88 Regal ad brings back some bad flashbacks! And now that danged jingle is going to be stuck in my mind for awhile.   Must...get it....out!   Maybe I can get it out by singing something else.   "Good morning America, how are you? You may not know me, but you know my name... I'm the car they call Cutlass Ciera... And I know the roads from Oregon to Maine".   Wait, that's not helping.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 11:43 am) I wonder if they have the Buick Park Avenue commercial from the same time? Probably used the same theme.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 11:43 am) I remember that Ciera ad too!   Back in the day when that thing was in the top 10 of sales.
