Cadillac Commercial "Roll" 2009

[whammond511]

I think this commercial is supposed to be a look at styling trends that Cadillac introduced and not necessarily "milestones", at least not engineering milestones.

[PunksloveTrumpys]

Great commercial, no question there. These types of commercials which compare classic cars with modern ones rarely work though, the idea is to show how much Cadillac's new models have evolved and improved over their previous ones. Only problem is that it leaves viewers wanting the classic Cadillac's because of their style and character which is missing in the new cars, no matter how much better they are. This is why 'This is not your father's Oldsmobile' campaign failed.

Wrong music!! The real commercial used PunkRocker by the TeddyBears with Iggy Pop and made the commercial in my mind.

[xtreme01hac10docter]

I own  a 98' STS

[CHUUMPASS]

@xtreme01hac10docter a mighty fine car ! and highly underrated IMO, i`ve talked to some who own or have owned them here in germany, all of them were completely pleased and enormously surprised about how much car they actually got in the form of the STS, those who have owned comparable full size german lux-sedans said the STS it at least on par with german makes, and the fact that you can get an STS for way less money makes them a winner overall.

The Allante was made from 1987 so how did they skip over the 80's? And the humpback was really an 80's car. Just because it was designed in the 70's doesn't mean it was sold in the 70's. The XLR was probably being designed in the 90's by sketchartists so does that mean it's a 90's car?

Kudos to cadillacs in the 1940s!

[Necroman666]

You quickly notice the bigger quality the old caddys used to have than nowadays

[kiheisun]

The '67 Eldorado was a stunner - it still looks great...

[TraustiGeir]

When the entire auto-universe decided to go for the aerodynamic look, it became a generation of uglyness. In my opinion, and it may very well suck, I think Cadillac should've stuck with what they know how to build: Big, wide, elegant, powerful and luxurious machines.

Still, the CTS is a nice compromise...

[liddlebopeep]

I love how they skipped over the 1980s. Like the Cimarron and '86 Eldorado never happened.

[jrdnplayer84]

@liddlebopeep the seville hatchback was from the 80's dude, they didnt skip over it

[liddlebopeep]

@jrdnplayer84 That "bustleback " Seville was introduced for MODEL YEAR 1980 - which mean it was designed in the 1970s. Other than that, there is nothing from 1981-1989.

[KR850]

@liddlebopeep OK? The 80s Seville and Allante..they skip over alot..over 100 years..so give them a break...hell they pass over there 1992 car of the year so...

[retrojoet]

@liddlebopeep How true! I still haven't recovered from that godawful Chevy Cavalier "Cimarron".  You would've thought GM would have learned from the Ford fiasco of the 70's, where they took a Granada and did a slapdash trim job and called it a Lincoln Versailles! I'll never forget our neighbor back then who bought one of those Cimarrons and traded it in at a big loss because she was tired of people telling her what a "nice Chevy" she had!

[MistaaXX]

Cadillac for EveR !!!!!

[bandog700]

la mejor es... Cadillac

[Necroman666]

do they keep every version of their cars? they must make these commercials with their own material. i keep wondering that every time i see a comercial that shows classics.

[Supergungun]

They should have include the 1964 Cadillac....

[hmmhmmmmhh]

@Supergungun Why would they? It's not a milestone through Cadillac's history at all.

[Supergungun]

@hmmhmmmmhh Hmmm automated climate control, first year of the 429, last year of the fin.....

[Supergungun]

@hmmhmmmmhh and lets not forget, the first year of the Turbo Hydramatic transmission. Way more special than the shitty 1967 El Dorado.

[hmmhmmmmhh]

@Supergungun Well I'm not with you about the -67 Eldorado but I take back what you said. But I must say that from 1948-1985 the -64 is one one of the worst looking, I know you don't think so but that was why wrote what I did.

[Supergungun]

@hmmhmmmmhh worst? It looks way better than the 1965-1968 ones.

It's got such a nice straight belt line

[schumanndj]

What song is this? It's sure not Punkrocker now.

[DemonicWolfie]

Aw, they passed my 1979 Deville's body style.

[Theburn77]

gotta love the biarritz

[1y33]

they should have included the 1993-96 fleetwood brougham. last of its kind.

[caddy095]

wow you cant even write garbage right

[tackorgybe]

All pieces of carbage

[xxMafia101]

@tackorgybe carbage huh? Wow kid.

[brathx]

How much?

[JWROWE3]

Interesting choice of the slant back Seville and Allante in this spot. Seville was controversial in styling, plus the curse of a standard equipment Diesel engine for a few years. And the Allante was just a non-seller.

[wdrauch]

@JWROWE3 don't forget the V8-6-4 engine in the Seville or the crappy 4.1 V8 .... there's a reason why luxury buyers left Cadillac in droves

[JWROWE3]

@wdrauch Buddy of mine from college (who's daddy had money) was given a new V-8-6-4 Brougham sedan as a graduation present. It was probably the only one that ran well. It was amusing to watch the trip computer calculate the mpg's....I managed 30 mpg driving once, downhill w/the air con. off and coasting....I have a warm spot for 80's Caddy's...but I'm more of a Lincoln man, myself.

[dangximtight]

anyone know the song?

[totovillefranche]

Punkrocker from Teddybears/Iggy

[boss12]

I love Cadillacs

[vidman429]

look how far they've come.

[Freudt2]

the '59 eldorado and the '67 eldorado are the best

[TheLizardKing1967]

That 1980 Cadillac Seville was one ugly ass car. LOL

[CDTbossy]

yeah, atleast the one with the weird ass hatch style trunk. Normal rear end is nice tough.

[timppa600]

What song is this?
