newVideoPlayer("/87_Plymouth_Sundance_Quebec_494.flv", 506, 423,""); It turns out that Céline Dion really did make French-language Chrysler commercials back in the 80s, and here's another one allegedly featuring the future superstar. Thrill as she hoons that '87 Sundance right up the Stade Olympique in Montreal, miraculously avoiding arrest at the summit. Maybe 146 turbocharged horsepower (although this car appears to be the 97-horse NA version) is all you need to accomplish such a feat!

newVideoPlayer("/Jackie_Chan_VW_Caddy_476.flv", 506, 423,""); The sequence is pretty straightforward: A China-market VW Caddy Panel Van rolls off its carrier and- driverless- drives away going against the flow of traffc, sowing chaos and death in its wake. Jackie Chan leaps from another VW onto a truck, commandeers a motorcycle, and... well, you just need to watch the ad. Our only disappointment is the lack of the traditional Chan outtakes at the end.

newVideoPlayer("70_Nova_OJ_Simpson_476.flv", 463, 387,""); The 1970 Chevy Nova was a pretty good car, simple and quite versatile; you could get one with a gas-sipping 153-cube four-cylinder engine, a hoon-a-pa-loozic 396 big-block, or just about anything in between (though the standard 307 was sort of a dud). Not only that, it was a better automobile than O.J. Simpson... who seems angry at the suggestion that the Nova is cheaper to run than he is.
