That's some serious driving. Some of the those scenes have to be using trick photography.
There wasn't much CGI capabilities back when those cars were introduced so it's kind of hard to say how they were done.

It would definately help sell a piece of crap like that though.

Absolutely nuts.... Even the now famous Saab stunt team isn't nearly as crazy IMO.

Here's more.

Haha, Koma, no offense but you have failed miserably at marketing your thread, therefore having gathered nobody's interest.

I mean, who would've thought about clicking into a thread titled "80s Isuzu Gemini commercial" and actually expect to be amused? Even if someone was bored enough to click into a Gemini commercial thread, if all he/she saw was a link to a video and was given no hint as to whether or not the video would've wasted his/her several minutes of precious life, why would he or she bother?

That said, thanks for making the original post and yes, this thread is a repost.

Man, I thought the Saab Precision driving team was good back in the day, but these guys...

I wonder how may cars they went through to make that series of ads? The part where the yellow and green cars are on 2 wheels and are going down those shallow stairs. They must have laid a few on their sides shooting that bit.
