Pontic G8 Gets Eighties Spy Hunter Treatment

pontiac_g8_spy_hunter.jpg

Well here’s a new (OK, new-ish) way to introduce a new car. So here’s an ad for the new Pontiac G8 GT modeled after the early 80’s driving game Spy Hunter. It’s certainly different but it might cause viewers to wonder why there’s suddenly a video game on their television screens.

Thankfully, it’s better than yet another windy mountain road commercial. Well, sort of. Rather than windy mountain roads, this commercial gives us windy video game roads with wheel spikes and bombs and cars that wipe out for no apparent reason. The kids will love it. Even if they have no idea what Spy Hunter is/was.
