I wasn't entirely sure Pontiac was still around as a car company—and there's no way the original Spy Hunter car was a Pontiac—but hey, nice commercial! I look forward to more slightly obscure videogame references in car commercials, with Frogger shilling for Hummer and R/C Pro Am pushing the Honda Fit. [via Pontiac]

Fun commercial!
Test drove a Pontiac once. Drove like a brick.
Great commercial.
@ #1 – How well did the smokescreen and the tacks work?
Perhaps a tie-in to the new Spy Hunter movie?
I LOVED SPY HUNTER. months of my childhood playing that game. damned the no save game feature!
I’m glad GM is giving pontiac it’s ‘edge’ back, instead of trying to spread it across all the car line
I must confess to being slightly stoked about their return to rear wheel drive.. the G8 should be a bitchin’ car, especially with a 6-speed manual.
Sounds like it’s been a bit dulled down since the SS Commodore it’s based on. Hopefully this ad gets it some notice.
What you guys think of the ‘Sports Truck’ versions. (We call it a ute)
I wish I remembered the brand – but I spotted a car commercial the other day (think it was one of the CBS.com video commercials) that was a nod to Tron’s light cycle racing. Definitely appealed to the geek in me – as did this.
