Awsome 80s advertising from Isuzu

They were supervised by stuntcar pioneer Remy Julienne. The car commercialized is the Isuzu Gemini or I-Mark in North America, edited by dubbing it over with modern-ish club music. They sure don't make car commercials how they use to.

Enjoy: http://www.flixxy.com/isuzu-dancing-in-paris.htm

Who thinks this was done with RS Turbo models with spruced up suspension and struts? And it is a shame GM had to cripple this company during their heyday.

That video is comprised of a bunch of Gemini commercials. I remember when they originally aired on TV. I forgot how cool they were. THanks for posting that.

Can you imagine what hell it must be on those rims driving on two wheels down that set of stairs? Neat stuff.
