Ah, the 1980’s. How far we’ve come. We found this vintage ’87 Fiero GT ad and knew you’d love it. Actually, it’s far more than just a TV commercial as it appears to be a sales aid video setup as a 6-minute long faux news program. The start of the show is a brand new ’87 Pontiac Fiero GT and the video itself features all of the things you’d expect from an ’80’s movie with stupid ’80’s hair, crappy ’80’s music, and a cast straight out of the old “Can’t Buy Me Love.”
The nerd in the movie is the Fiero owner, while his jerk neighbor with the hot wife is a Mazda RX-7 owner. The Mrs. Next Door Neighbor notices the “Ferrari” and goes over to ask about it. You can guess how things progress from there.
Truth be told, the Fiero was a great looking car that died off before it’s time could really come. It was only in production for a total of 5 years; 1984-1988. It was fairly underpowered and shared some suspension components with the Chevy Citations, and was really only starting to become a trick pony in 1988 with improvements to suspension, brakes, steering, and both the four-cylinder and V6 engines that had previously received a lot of criticism. Ah well, it wouldn’t be the first time Detroit killed something just as it was getting good!
