Official car of: COUSIN, LETS GO BOWLING!
I knew it look familiar
HAHAHAHA FUCK YEAH! I was thinking THE OFFICIAL CAR OF LIBERTY CITY
You guys are all thinking of the willard or the faction from gta 4, romans car is more of a pontiac parisienne
I think its a chevy malibu from that era.
Esperanto
That car has the "dead person in the trunk" stance going.
***** there is probally sand bags in the trunk for the snow
Luke Savoie I think it's mentioned in the video, that it's because of either broken springs, or busted air bags in the back. Can't remember right off.
Luke Savoie Being as this is a FWD car, that wouldn't make much sense.
It's got that gangster lean goin xD
David F. Blown out air shocks that used to be part of a auto leveling system.
Seeing it driving with the parking brake on at the end, combined with the busted air springs, makes it look like when a dog is dragging its ass on your carpet.
That is one strong af parking brake. I drove a Chrysler 300 as part of a car auction that I wasn't aware the parking brake was on, and it still moved normally. Just stopped harder...and you could smell the dragging brake pad as I went by. lol
I sell cars for a living. A lady came in one day asking $1000 for her 1987 NY'er with 126k on it. I showed her this video, and she asked "How did my car get on the computer?"
Crack is whack, yo.
Ya mean the google??
I would agree. Seeing as how the 1987 is an entirely different car.
@@gregbaird7582 yeah. 88 was the first year that the New Yorker was on the K derived "C Body"; the 83-87 New Yorker were on the K derived "E Body"
@@gregbaird7582 SHE WAS A CRACKHEAD. Jesus...
@@FirebirdCamaro1220 This wasnt a joke, I was relaying her actual reaction. Do you think a crackhead gives a damn/knows about chassis designation?!
Those seats look more comfortable than my sofa.
They are divine!
RegularCars My grandpa bought a 1991 New Yorker Fifth Avenue 3.3L V6 with 118,000 miles on it in October of 2014, for about $2,200. It was an old lady car and has about every option. The air suspension is still great! Driving it is like driving your sofa down the road. I have to be careful when I drive it at night because it's easy to fall asleep in that car😂
I had a 1992 model of the same car. I bought it on eBay for $1,200 back in 2003. It had plush velvet seats. Most called it my "Mini-Limo", and it was one of the most reliable car I have ever own. I had it for over 7 years until I let my nephew borrow it and he wrecked it.
TheDanMan01 never lend anything lmfao
aaaaaaaaa same thing goin on in my nan's buick and my god are they fantastic
Every time I get in a car now that has digital gauges now I'm just going to freak out and yell-
It's the 1980's!
GET BACK IN YOUR HOLE AND MAKE MORE SUPER AWESOME VIDEOS.
JK take your time, Love
*Cries uncontrollably*
Mission Accomplished lol jk
What if i told you the late 80's Buick Riviera had a touch screen display on the dash that controlled the AC and radio? Because it totally did and it worked better than my ipods touch screen.
Hahaha David you watch this guy to? I love him haha he is very interesting
.
7:08 Best Moment so far in all the RCR I've watched.
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!
Seats look super comfy.
so soft i can feel it just by looking at it
Believe me..they are. I had a 1990
Most comfortable seats I've ever sat in
Whoa those rear seats look like HEAVEN
Probably were heaven to many
If that's the case then death seems suddenly less appealing.
They are! My grandmother has this car and multi-hour long car trips were the best
DanielDaniel1 they are.
I need them as a couch
I busted my shit when he pulled out the cupholder at the very end.
FUCK YEAH!~
like a booosssssss
OooooooOOOOOOOOooooooo
3 years late to the party but God damn that was hysterical.
Those cupholders are always the first thing to break
Mark Cross is one of the oldest luxury leather producers in America. I googled it.
Larry Phischman Thanks, seriously.
Larry Phischman Thank you
Explains why those seats look more comfortable than any couch I’ve ever seen.
$3-4K for a bag!
Sits made up of nice Corinthian leather ;D
This car is the balls.
Big sweaty grandad balls
HAHAHAHA! That 80's computer sound!!!
The Italian Tune-Up Pro 😂
dotssssss......
@CTG oh
That bit at the end with the cup holders was the best! I have never heard someone so genuinely amazed by something before.
oooOOOOOOOoooohhhh!!!
Genuinely shocking
I wonder why the Bruckell LeGran doesn't get any cupholders, but anyway I agree, it was.
Thank you for your comment, I usually turn away as soon as Roman starts singing so I hadn't got to see that until you pointed it out - honestly that impressed me as much as him as soon as it folded out into two. Wow. Fancy af
Theres something incredibly nostalgic about seeing this old car in the snow.
When I was a child the sights of these bench boxes and snow were more commonplace. Now hardly either is seen
The official car of: COFFE BREATH
And with the smell of coffee, there is a slight smell of full flavor cigarettes and a rotting tooth in their breath.
@@juuhelikkas151 i love that smell
@@punchy207 mm yummy
@TcZ It's a rcr video, expect nothing else from the comments.
7:10
CUP-HOLDERCEPTION
MIND BLOWN
I had one of these, in Australia! It was privately imported and converted to RHD. Someone loved it THAT MUCH! I bought it cheap with a blown head gasket. This was the only RHD '88 New Yorker in Australia. Loved this car, everything still worked...soft-lock tail gate, leveling suspension, even the the "computer". Pure American luxury on a budget.
An autobot that transforms into a dish of Werther's Originals. Nice one!
If the police bought Chrysler New Yorkers, that's what you'd be buyin'.
+Geno Esposito Crown Vic review reference right there :)
Its because you wanna look like a cop its because you wanna look like a cop ItS BeCAusE yOU WAnNa LOok LiKe CoP *ITS BECUSE YOU WANNA LOOK LIKE A COP*
YOU LIKE IT! YOU LIKE IT! YOU LIKE IT!!
That last shot reminds me of when my dog doesn't want to walk anymore
"You're, uh, parking brake's ON!" lololol
My buddy had a 88 New Yorker and it had some of the most comfortable seats that I've ever sat in
Definitely better then there nea Chrysler 200c. One of the last sexy feeling of Good plush seats.:)
Those front bench seats are a thing we don't realize we miss. I drove a '98 Mustang with a white leather bench seat in it as some aftermarket mod and the thing was surprisingly good. Bench in the front, buckets in the back; it's never going to happen again.
beep bop boop beep bop
fucking lost it time after time lol
I first I was like
*This is terrible*
Then I saw the cup holders
*Holy shit Iacocca is a genius!!!*
Why Shouldn't he design cup holders?
Why'd you think it's terrible though? And the cup holders are really heckin' cool.
You guys always are good at pointing out little good things about cars that people today wouldn't want to be seen in.
I'm loving the 80s digital gauges...
Look up Renault Encore digital
You know I've always hated these old cars from the 80's from those cheesy movies back in the day that my parents loved but Regular Car Reviews just made me respect every model ever made. Almost. Thank you.
Who HASN'T driven a 80's/90's Chrysler with the fader/balance joystick and gone WAHWAHWAHWAHWAHWHAWHAWAH?
My 2001 Cherokee has it, and the exact same seat belts too.
Did that on my dad's '95 LeBaron droptop.
Trippy shit, man.
haha, my mom's old 1996 Dodge Neon had one of those.
95 and 97 Sebrings, good times
The only mopar I've ever been behind the wheel of is a buddy's 2012 Challener R/T with the 6 Speed. I was still a GM die hard back in the day
Though I did own a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Reg Cab 2wd 6 Speed V6 for 5 years
The Omni and Horizon weren't actually K cars. They were L-bodies which predated the K.
My grandmother had this. I drove her around like Ms. Daisy in this when visiting her.
"hey that's a neat idea, uh..OOooOOOOOooooOOOHHHH!!"
I really laughed my ass off at that one! Keep the funny reviews coming! :)
Best review I've yet seen from you guys. Really, truly, honestly, I love this. It's opinionated, it's got some history and specs thrown in, it made me laugh, and it made me want to drive the car. Please make this your template for future reviews!
80's luxury seats are some of the best every. Comfort wise atleast, wouldnt want to autocross..
7:11 "thats a neat idea right there thats kinda... OOOHHHHH!!" Yeah I react the same when I saw that
I actually find the looks on those new yorkers quite striking for some reason.
I have the gm equivalent 1989 buick century with a 3spd auto and a v6.
I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest used car on the market. bluebooking out at a whapping 900$ for good condition.
even though it is cheap, everything just feels better than a modern car.
matter of opinion I guess.
I had no overall point for this comment, just like talking about my cars.
you don't need a point brother, you just talk and we will listen!!!!
+dosbox907 I owned a same style century and a cutlass ciera, and as drab and boring they are, they never once let me down
87 buick lesabre 146k miles. Used and abused but I love her
"The '88 New Yorker: An Autobot that transforms into a dish of Werther's Originals"
Best.Line.Ever.
Those seats look incredibly comfy
5:02 I'll see your Cadillac Catera, and raise you a Cadillac Cimarron.
I had one of these and it was the smoothest riding car i ever owned. Like floating on clouds.
Let me tell you, my Grandfather used to own an early 90s New Yorker 5th Avenue, and that suspension was like gliding on air, and you could freakin LIVE in the back seat. SO much legroom. That car was comfort incarnate. Too bad the maintenance was so darn expensive.
That is the coolest cup holder I have ever seen.
My grandparents bought one new - I think an 87 model. It was white and as I recall, had blue interior. Rode around in that car as a youngster and (of course) marveled at the digital instrumentation and the car’s verbal notification. I haven’t seen one out in the wild in many years…
I return to this review every so often, and it still stands up as one of my favorites. I think it's because of the awesome sound effects.
2 seconds of watching this channel the first time today, i am hooked and i am subscribing lolol
Thanks!
Welcome to the club!
+RegularCars I love the late 50's early 60's New Yorkers better! !!
Call me nostalgic, but at least the cars in this era had computers that had buttons that roughly had a 1 to 1 relationship to their function. Versus fiascos like Ford Sync...
Or EVERY "Infotainment" distract-O-driver system since!
J J I'm 34, and I never owned a car newer than a 1998 until a couple years ago. I have an 05 Focus ST and a 2012 Colorado Z71 V8, so still old-school-ish controls, but I LOATHE my girlfriend's 2014 Toyota Highlander's info-bullshittainment system. I've had a bunch of 70s and 80s cars, and drastically prefer their control interfaces. I know the new stuff is 'better', but it's just not very intuitive, for the most part. I shouldn't have to read the manual to set the clock, radio presets, oil change reminder, and all that bullshit, I've been driving and working on cars for 20 years, for chrissakes.
I was watching the old, good Top Gear several years ago with my father, and either Clarkson or Captain Slow was review cars with bad infotainment systems. They cut to a commercial, and I jokingly said, "the next car will be a Ford Focus with Sync," and sure enough it was. I owned a 2013 Focus at the time.
Matthew Fontaine Once my old ST bites the dust, provided I can't find another clean, low-mile 05-07 ST (not holding my breath), I'll almost certainly be buying a 2015+ Focus ST. I'm really dreading the Sync situation... I wonder if the better Sony stereo you could get on them mitigates any of the pain? Or if I can just not use Sync? I'm not familiar with the system apart from it sucking, haha!
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney I haven't used their Sony system, but a touch screen may mitigate some of the complexity of it. It was just ridiculous how many button presses it took to get to a specific menu.
(Lahey's voice) Get that shitmobile outta here
Wasn't the Shitmobile a 76?
Ricky's is a '75. Lahey's is a '77.
+Conrad Sandusky trailer park boys reference:))))))

My dad had one of these, this brought back memories. And I had a 89 240sx, so that video did as well. You sir, have taken me back 25 years. lol
FYI, the Omni/Horizon weren't on the K platform - they were based on a Simca, predating the K cars by a few years.
I think this is definitely one of your absolute best reviews. The humor is spot on throughout the whole thing. Very entertaining. A+ from me, Mr. Regular.
“And Bam! You got a chipotle dinner!!” 🤣🤣
My Grandma had one of these as her last car. Brings back good memories of it sitting in her garage never being driven.
Wait wait, I hadn't noticed this before, but you put down the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon as K Cars?
They're SIMCA Horizons with the good front suspension stripped out and a VW or Peugeot engine at first, then a Chrysler engine slipped in to replace the original SIMCA one. Oh and heavier body panels, which probably at least helped slow down the rust a little.
Came out in 1978 three years before the K cars were introduced.
Guess I'm joining some kind of bandwagon of viewers that say "This is the first of your videos I've seen and after 10 seconds I hit the subscribe button."
This is genius stuff, I was cackling like a drunk hillbilly with a chainsaw.
I've had a week filled with high tech wrecks of every sort.
So relaxing to have this guy speak poetry about old stuff like this
Armenians are the best mechanics.
First time I watched one of these clips I thought' what the hell is this?' Now I am addicted to these videos. Keep the great work up!
The reaction of the cup holder at the end is priceless. oooooo... OOOOOHHH!!!!
Those seats, are EXTREMELY COMFY! :-)
I just saw this video.
My older sister had this car in 88
I asked her about it today.
Said it was one of the best cars she ever owned. Also how much she really loved that car.
This is one of my favorite reviews. He hits the nail on the head with the Taco Bell analogy.
7:10...then 7:14, the greatest "oooooooooooo" in the history of ooo
When my mom was pregnant with me, my grandmother bought a New Yorker because she said she was officially a “granny”!! She died in 2007, but we still have the car and those seats are still comfortable!! And in pretty good shape!
I kinda want this car now. Because it's cheap and retro AF and screams 80's! Love the digital gauges too. And the seats... they look so damn comfy!
Same, oldman cars always are well taken care of. Just my parents always say "oh no you're not parking that thing outside the house... Get a Kia soul perhaps" sighhhh Miata life is old now
A Kia Soul... Hideous car xD
Even though it's been 4 years, I've recently drove a 93 New Yorker (a body style a tad bit newer than this 88 IIRC), and it really does feel like a carpet on the highway.
The one I drove had the 3.3 V6 and it was definitely slow, but it's a very luxurious vehicle so I couldn't complain!
It's like my weekly automobile history class!
7:10 I was cracking up with the cup holder, because I said the same thing, OOUUAHH!
He went from talking about a Panamera to OOOO! Baller cup holders xD
can someone please get this man a cadillac catera.
It's the Caddy that zigs!
Fuck I love Yorkers, my '75 is still going strong
One of your best videos yet!
how do you manage to come up with funny, somewhat relevant content every video!? keep up the good work!
I never thought I'd get so much joy from car reviews, thank you very much. * wipes tears from eyes*
you keep saying 1998 lmao when its an 88
Bruh I would forgive that if it was a Taurus but this looks 80s AF
love them little nougets in these videos and how they are corrected onscreen, usually
I want that cup holder.
Hahahahaha, I died when you made the computer sound!
Omg, my dad bought my grandparents this car in the late 80's. They kept it for almost 15 years! It wasn't the prettiest but my god was it comfortable. It was an excellent highway cruiser for roadtrips.
I love the echo effects when demoing the digital gauges! I had to re watch that bit a few times!
That LCD Soundsystem reference at the end made me giddy
lol that lcd cover was amazing hahah
another golden episode
I miss that little balance joystick. As soon as it was mentioned, memories of sitting in my parent's 98 Grand Caravan screwing with that came flooding back.
I had this car. Can confirm that the suspension did in fact make the back end of the car sag. I had it in that weird dark maroon color and i LOVED this car. This was a nice trip down memory lane. Thanks.
The gen before this was actually pretty cool, midsize V8 rwd with the same luxury.
Mike drove one in Breaking Bad, and we all know that Mike is a legend.
Two gens before this.
88-93 New Yorker was FWD C Body
83-87 New Yorker was FWD E Body
82 New Yorker was an M Body (the car that was the New Yorker Fifth Avenue in 83 and just Fifth Avenue from 84-89)
79-81 New Yorker was an R Body
60-78 New Yorker was a C Body
And
38-59 New Yorkers were just on the regular Chrysler BOF platform
His was a Fifth Avenue
1:00 You mean 1988...
i don't even care that much for cars, i watch these for the masterful use of similes and metaphors. you're an artist dude.
In 2009 was given a 88 by my caregiving patient’s family after he died. Loved it comfortable rode smooth and got good mileage car would not die.
1:00 that methadone comment is hilarious. LOL You can just see this car in that situation.
i love how the back sags so much that rear doors just close on their own
The interior is seriously so comfortable, but at the same time, always reminds me of the movie Fargo
This was by far the funniest review you've done
Cadillac Catera. That may say nothing to you but perhaps Opel Omega B does.
Didnt think I Could posssibly become nostalgic for that pos but here we are
That cup holder--that cup holder and "oooOOOOOoooohhh" is what hooked me.
These are to good man I have been binge watching these since 6am lol
hell yeah LCD SOUNDSYSTEM!!!!
wouldntyaliktono voop beep bop beeep boop beep
YES
I finally realized that just a moment ago as of this writing lol! I'd been listening to their first couple albums fairly consistently over the last few months and falling more in love with their sound.
Mr Regular, I think you should review a Ford Contour/Mondeo/Mercury Mystique next! Theyre everywhere and theyre awesome!
Great clip, you guys made!
Domestic car buyer ... But I know the American car companies struggled with a lot of things, in the late 80s/early 90s. My old man drove one of these ... His was a '92 ... He LOVED it! .. Said it was the best car ever ... lol
I dont know what took me so long to find your videos, they are hilarious. Lmao!!
The Omni/Horizon were on the L-platform.
God that car is beautiful. In a perverse, boxy, retreaux kind of way.
My grandparents had one of these when I was a kid. Oddly enough, they kept a bag of Werther's Originals in the center console for my sister and I... IT WAS BOTH A CAR AND BOWL OF THE EXACT CANDY!!!!
you said "1998" around the 1:00 mark, no worries tho i died laughing
Finally a video from you guys that's filled with useful information instead of pothead mumbojumbo
