I apologize if this has already been posted but when I was searching for some 5th Gen commercials I came accross this funny 4th gen commercial. Thought everyone here would like to see it.
According to the description it's from the 1997 Super Bowl.

OMG never seen that before but it's hilarious.

thats old as heck but still funny

hahah thats awesome, what happened to that guy and his dog?

It was funny as hell but why they didn't say anything about the car, like they did for the 5th gen maxima.

man i love my 4th gen. Wish it was brand new once again

He doesn't run teh Nissan anymore....

I remember this commercial, but I don't recall it being a Maxima. Funny though.

A classic commercial. Even non-maxima and non-nissan people remember that commercial (Just like the 300z Barbie/Ken commercial).

The old dood is Yutaka Katayama, aka Mr. K, "Father of the Z Car"

I forgot about the 300z commercial. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

That is a classic!!

I remember that commercial, I thought it was funny as hell when I was a kid, who would have thought I'd own one of those cars

No need to be sorry, i enjoyed it

wow no matter how hold and ive seen these a million times.. i still watch the whole thing...

lol i never saw that one, thats pretty funny

Nissan had a pretty good ad agency back then...the 300ZX and the Maxima comercials are the funniest car commercials I've ever seen...

I miss the old Nissan days when Maximas were made in Japan and commercials like that were out there haha. haha Mr. K isn't with Nissan anymore right?..

OMG lol, I remember that commercial, I was in 4th grade and remember one of my teachers talking about it.

you have to be about my age then give or take.

This is going to be an awsome thread. Love those commercial. Proud to be an owner to one of those commercials.

hahaha, that has got to be one of the most creative commercials I've ever seen

Sweet commecials....very sweet....

Yup, just turned 19 yesterday.

WOW i remember that comercial....
Van halen is the shiat......

hahaha nice i remember the pigeon one! I had no idea what car it was back then but i liked the commercial. I dont even think i knew it was a car ad commercial haha

What made that commercial a classic is that it strikes a chord with every car owner who takes care of his ride. Damned pigeons really do seem to aim at freshly washed and waxed cars! lol

Still a classic commercial to this day.

yeah the "enjoy the ride" slogan era of commercials definitely were the best. The later 00-03 "Driven" era commercials were still good but egh, and the news ones are pretty boring I must say. I don't think they're trying to cater to a sportier overall crowd cround anymore, but perhaps an older mans car instead.

great.. how am I supposed to get any work done now that you've posted this link?

Don't know Maybe one day I'll revamp that site.

Man I don't remember those comercials being so old. 97? and that 300ZX commercial... I remember that! seems like only a couple of years ago that i saw them! damn... Back when the maxima used to be a sexy car... damn big ugly 6th gens...

In the late 90's and early 00's Nissan had some awesome music in their commercials. I remember one Pathfinder commercial where people are playing polo with their Pathfinders and The WHO song BABA OReilly is blaring in the background. That was definitely one of my favourites.

BTW if anyone has that commercial or knows where it can be found please let me know.

Pathfinders are the bomb!

Do you have the twin drift with Rod and Steve Millen? I can't remember if it was for 240sx or 300z.

I take pride in knowing and owning 4th and 5th Gens.. Those 6th Gens though make me wanna slap Ghosn and the engineers who designed them. I think the only new Nissan/ Infiniti products I'd buy as of now would be anything of the Infiniti line or a 350z.

Have you seen the new 6.5Gen or 7th Gen Max (not sure or the designation), the new Altima and Sentra they all look the same because its all part of Ghosn's "universal frame consolidation plan," a cost cutting measure to ensure Nissan/Renault stays a top manufacturer. This means alot of these cars will utilize the same parts and some just altered a bit as a cost cutting measure.

Anyways back to topic, good old Nissan was amazing and these commercials make me laugh especially the "Reaper" one.

I believe it was 300zx. His nephew Rhys (rice? lol) was also a driver in a Skyline commercial.

I remember it too. Specially since my Pats lost that year to the Packers. Sounds like Cliff Clavin was the head pigeon bomber too.

I remember reading that Rhys was doing commercials, but I thought it was for Toyota? Anyways, I think it's pronounced like "Reese"... like Reeses Pieces.

dumb question alert:

what van halen song is that....

now I'm hungry, damn you..

"You Really Got Me" , a song written by Ray Davies of the Kinks. It's off Van Halen's first album
