VIDEO: Another Pontiac G8 ad that goes after our childhood
Get your Hot Wheels ready
If the ad campaign is any indication, those of us born in the late 1970s are the demographic Pontiac's aiming at with the G8. First, there was the Spy Hunter themed TV spot, and now this one, which pays homage to the seminal car-guy experience of zooming around on a carpet in 1/64 scale. Hey, we're cool with that. The G8 GT does induce heart palpitations in many of us who still cling to our battle-scarred collection of now-vintage Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars with our initials etched into the underside. Like many of the other tiny cars we racked up miles on, a miniature G8 would have made us wish for either a shrink-ray, or a personal fortune by the time we hit 16 so we could buy a real one VIDEO HERE: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/16/v...our-childhood/ .

Cool commercial. Reminds me of that vette commercial that they had to take off the air because it was a little kid driving around.
