Opel GT Commercial

I own a 72 Opel GT and have had it for about 10 years. I'm 6'3" tall. They have the seat moved forward quite a bit in this commercial. This car has ample leg and headroom for me. So much, in fact, that I have the seat slid forward two notches. I will say, however, that getting in and out of this car DOES require effort, as it is so low to the ground.

I don't get it. This commercial seems like it was intended to convince people to not buy the Opel GT. What's up with that? Anyway it's a great car with tons of character. At one time, I had six Opel GTs, one from each year they were built. I sold five of them when I decided to go to college. The other one was stolen and never recovered. That was a real bummer. I didn't have insurance on that car because it wasn't licensed at that time.

the man is too old and fat for the Opel GT, because it was a car for the (then) modern youth! that's the joke implied in the spot, and the german text explains it quite frankly.

prilstrudel, I don't understand German language. Oh well, at least now I know my Opel GT wasn't stolen by an old fat guy.

@ TacoLuvr: ...did I sound like a "snobby teacher"? Sorry for that, I just wanted to explain the text in the commercial, no offense. By the way, my uncle drove a GT in the 1970's, and I remember it as a very cool and fast car - but inside very small. So the tv spot is quite right about that. Fortunately, neither my uncle not me were too fat than...today is another thing;-)

Sorry, that was owning both, but not at one time.

Mustve been damn nice to have owned either one. Always loved the sting ray vettes, good handling for the time and a beast of an engine under the hood. Have a funy respect for the opel gt, not the fastest car- but very interesting cars. Manual flip up lights? win

My owning and driving at one time both '69 versions. Granted the GT had upgraded wheels/tires, shocks and poly bushings. But look at the price diff between the towo
