Paris tilting
You may already have seen this clip, you may not. I suppose it depends how much time you spend trolling the web for car based ephemera. Less than 5 hours a day? Weirdo.
Anyhoo, what better way to promote your natty little Jap saloon than get some seriously talented formation drivers to go 'Dancing in Paris'. Ah the heady pre-CG days when to get the effect of affordable cars flying through fountains you launched the damn things and pointed a camera at it.
It's an added bonus that they slapped a prime piece of euro hi-NRG dance over the top
I dunno, you trying telling kids these days how to sell a car...

Yes but they make wonderfully reliable cars and electronic goods.

Ahhh the creative talent of watching Taxi 1,2 and 3 and being "insprired" to make an ad.
Given what cheap pieces of shit they are surely it would have been more cost effective to write a whole loada cars off doing live action than spend the equivalent or more on CGI.

I fear Monsieur Besson, may have been inspired to write Taxi having seen these ads - they are over 20 years old, (I know classic car design really doesn't age).
I can only assume he saw it one evening and realised as he scribbled furiously onto his cuffs that all it needed was some cartoonish females and casual gunplay and et voila! another hit.
And then he did it again 5 years later with a gay oil wrestling scene and called it The Transporter.

Sorry - just caught up with life in general. Surely everyone drive a Gemini in Paris, I know I did 20 years ago, until is was run over by a bin lorry (true). Now what was that about the Transporter in Teeside being gay?...
