What best way to showcase your hot new Italdesign-designed car than not showing it? Well, except for actually showing the damn car, of course.

Also, it being a 1980s BL product, I'm not sure if all people tapping it in the middle of the ad were actually trying to push it back in motion since the battery had failed.

Out-accelerates a 106hp Saab, huh? Overtakes a 3,500lb 108hp Mercedes-Benz 200, huh? Wow.

Also, it wasn't technically styled by Ital, they just did some of the work to productionize BL's low-budget facelift of the Marina.

Hey, at least they fixed that Marina's nasty issue of having pianos fell over them, so there's that.
