Commerical time: Toyota Chaser GX61/MX63

March 2, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

I love these old JDM Toyota Chaser ads from the early 80s! Something about them makes them really 80s. Maybe the Chaser chime they use?

Especially this chime reminds me of the Sega chime. :D
The background tune is Please Please Me by the Beatles and it suits this SG Tourer model very well! BTW: the SG Tourer is a 1G-EU powered GX61, so not the more sporty 1G-GEU model.

How about some sporty action from this 5M-GTEU powered MX63 then? Of course the commercial screams (and chimes) the word Turbo all over it! And a happy birthday to you as well!

Or fancy a bit more quiet hardtop sedan then?

Commercial time: Mitsubishi Galant GTO Hip Up Coupe

February 20, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

Back in the 70s Mitsubishis best selling car was the Galant. About every model in their lineup was a Galant: Galant Lambda, Galant Sigma, Galant FTO and lets not forget the 1970 Galant GTO!

The commercial has excellent styling and jazzy music. The Hip up coupé sounds catchy and it is extra newwwwww!!!

Commerical time: tiny dust cloud tells everything

This Nissan cinema advertisement from 1980 should have no comments at all: the tiny dust cloud tells you everything!

Commerical time: Honda Quint

January 30, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

I was re-reading some of the old magazines and in a volume of Practical Classics from a few years ago they were featuring the Honda Quintet, aka the Honda Quint in Japan. So of course I started looking for old commercials of the Quint and Quintet:

Wow! What a cheesy 80s synthesizer tune! And look at those special effects!

The Honda Quint was literally filling the gap between the Honda Civic and the Honda Accord: the car is a lengthened Civic with a mix of Civic and Accord bodypanels, and most importantly: the Accord 1.6 cvcc engine!

It is also funny to see where the Honda Integra started from: the 1985 Integra was initally lauched as the Honda Quint Integra in Japan!

Commerical time: Mazda RX-3 goes hmmmmmmmm

Sorry: yet another non JDM commercial, but this one is surely funny as hell:

Piston engine goes boing, boing, boing, boing. Mazda engine goes Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wonder what would have happened if he had a piston engined Mazda then… Would she have dumped him before they went on that picknik trip?

Commerical time: Mixed bag of Toyota

January 16, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

Got a mixed bag of Toyota commercials from Japan: Starlet KP60 Trans Europe trial, Corona T100, Celica XX mk1, Chaser MX30 and the KE30 saloon!

Even though I live in Europe, in a country next to Germany I still have no idea what the Trans Europe Trial actually is… It must have been something like Toyota wanted to prove the Starlet was an excellent car for European roads, therefore it would certainly be an even better car for the Japanese roads!

The Corona T100 looks like it would have been sophisticated back in a day, but with those features (central warning light, 5mph bumpers) you can even find on BYDs nowadays!

And that Chaser MX30! Of course if you first run it flat out on the saltflats (who put those lines there??) you definitely need to wash your hair!
