There's a new commercial on TV for Prilosec OTC with Larry The Cable Guy and he's driving what looks like either an SX4 or a Maverick. Couldn't get a good look at the car as they didn't show the entire vehicle, just a side shot from midway up the door and up but the car is present thru the whole commercial.
Anybody else catch it? I did notice a big round reflector on the LR QP which got me thinking possibly SX4 and not a Concord.
I cant tell..its kinda crunched

Definitely not an AMC, it has no paddle door handle. I think it's a Pinto.
my vote is pinto as well

79-80 Pinto.
i've seen the commercial before and the first time i saw it i thought it was a sx/4 at first till i got a good look at it and it is definitely a ford pinto.
Good eyes! I've only seen that commercial once or twice, didn't even think of looking at the door handles.

First thing I noticed was the Alberta license plate. Where did you find this picture?

I did a google image search and it was as close to the same color as the car in the ad
My best friend drives a 1980 Ford Pinto... I gotta show him this. ;D
It's not an '80 because the rear hatch isn't all glass. I had 2 '80 Bobcats as well as some Pintos (including a '70 with 1.6L and 5 speed that was a blast to drive but was the exploding model so my ex made me get rid of it for the kid's sake)

I was going by the side of the front bumper at 16 seconds. It's black. The 79-80's had black plastic ends. However, now that I study it, the whole bumper may have been painted black or they have 2 different year Pintos at 16 seconds and 27 seconds. I learned to drive in my dad's 79 Pinto Wagon and briefly owned an 80 Pinto wagon. It doesn't show in the pic, but it was a total rust bucket.

I had a 77 wagon and i loved that car until the neighbor vandalized it. i once won a bet with a guy down the block who bet me 50 bucks my pinto was more areodynamic in the back rather than the front and didn't realize it was a wagon till i pulled it out of the garage :rotfl:
Its either a ford pinto or a mercury bobcat ...I didn't see the elongated tail lights so I'm going with a pinto.
