FC commercial

i'm looking for the old t.v. commercials for the FC. i had one for an 88 TII but for some reason the link no longer works. the ones on youtube are all japaneese commercials. i'm realy not interested in those, as i'm wanting to see the american ones. i did a search but could find nothing on the commercials.

I loved how the LS powered cars were dropping out of the race but the Rotary just kept going. Makes me laugh at the LS and LT powered 7's on this forum.

Just for your your information the GM LT engine was not out in 1991 and the LS engine definitely was not around. Although i would never have a RX7 with anything other than a rotary engine the GM LS engines have been a highly successful and a reliable engine. It can be highly upgraded and in stock form they would have better gas mileage in a rx7 than my turbo 13b.

yeah, I have to laugh too, but at the fact that most people that stick a piston engine in say the opposite.

I've seen an FC commercial for the States on the Web about 2 years ago. I believe it was from late 1987 and was showcasing the Coupe, Convertible, and Turbo models. I can't find the link for the life of me. It is (or was) out there somewhere.

I kid, I kid. I laughed at all the piston-powered cars having problems too.
