Video: Early "talking" '86 New Yorker sounds suspiciously like Speak & Spell

1986 Chrysler New Yorker meets a relative – Click above to watch video after the jump

The 1986 Chrysler New Yorker was one o' them thar futuristic talking cars. In a discovery of investigative journalism almost as shocking as finding out the Mini isn't so mini anymore, someone realized that the Pentastar luxo-barge sounds a lot like a Speak & Spell. They then gave the two similarly-voiced units a chance to get to know each other, and, well, the Speak & Spell kept asking questions that were just too much for the New Yorker. We don't imagine a second date is in the works, but who knows in cases like this.

Have we mentioned how much we miss the '80s? That is incorrect. Spoiler alert: you do not want that car on your Spelling Bee team. Follow the jump to watch the vid. Thanks for the tip, Wes!
