Stock footage used in the "sponsored" segment of this video contains a BMW 850 for some reason.
 
Watching Miami Vice. 16 minutes in.

I’m watching the RiffTrax Live version of Samurai Cop (highly recommended, btw), and I just noticed this Dodge Colt/Plymouth Champ in the left side of the frame. It’s the Americanized version of the A150 generation Mitsubishi Mirage, sold from 1979 to 1982. I love the very late-‘70s color scheme.

So much goodness in that pic. I think a Tercel coupe in the back, probably a Fairmont coupe, Thunderbird SC, red Dodge(?) Stepside, Firebird and I think that’s a black Audi Fox. The lights look too round to be a Jetta.

It's either that or a B12 Sentra coupe.

The whole movie is full of amazing finds. Unfortunately, it cuts to another scene at this point so we don’t get a better look at that parking lot.

I was thinking that as well because of the black bumpers, but that rear quarter window was throwing me.:lol: The Tercel has such a funny shape.

I think you're spot on actually. I was thrown off by that light blue that seemingly every Sentra was sold in back in the 80s, but the quarter window definitely screams Tercel. God, it's been like 30 years since I've seen one on the road. :lol:
