Decade of Greed: 1989 Luxury Car Commercials

[tvpirate05]

More like Decade of Boxy American Cars...

[203207ab]

decade of greed?...i think the early to late 2000s trumps that remark.

[1965JWP]

Man, you said it. 

[masmotors]

wow\\how beat them all TOYOTA true love was put into those cars that way you see cadis on the side of the highway not really toy hon or niss

[trwsandford]

lol Cadillac style in the late 1980's was really just Buick Style, with poo leather, and more chrome. Buick style was just Chevy style with more chrome...

Little wonder the US lost the luxury car market.

@trwsandford

i dont say words like cool, that proves your wack

[trwsandford]

@ratchetsippi ,

um... what? I didn't use the word cool, though I think I should find a use for it now. (I'm a bit contrarian that way)

I certainly don't need some emo kid telling me what words to use... lol

(side note, I wish my yard was emo... you know... self cutting)

but, sadly we would have to change the subject from Cadillac in the 1980's if it was to be used properly.

Perhaps we should talk about Cadillac today? Now there are some seriously cool cars.

[ratchetsippi]

@trwsandford

you are a cornball kid

[TheJumper01]

love mercedes!

[UFCextra]

Cadillac is the best

[teapestanlaspatas]

mercedes sucks!!!! lincoln it´s the best!!!

[25tab]

if you like chromed up fords with the driving dynamics of a refrigerator, i suppose so. Meanwhile, the people that have more than three brain cells know that Lincoln hasn't made a worthwhile car since the 1960's.

[whattheheck1000]

the 1990-1997 Town Car

[25tab]

again, hasn't built a worthwhile car since the '60's.

[ratchetsippi]

@25tab

crazy da escalade owns

[25tab]

@ratchetsippi right, i guess if you want a vehicle that screams "I have a tiny penis and zero taste" it's a great car.

[ratchetsippi]

@25tab

no taste maybe for white people, tiny penis? lol who gave you that idea

[25tab]

@ratchetsippi the fact that you think a chromed up suburban is the epitome of cool pretty much says it all.

[25tab]

@teapestanlaspatas which is why mercedes has outsold them since the 60's at least.

[karfreek]

A part of history that Cadillac wishes they could replace. Great jingle, tho.

[Boogeyman80]

Pimp Ride!!!

[jbh30312]

Bad example - Cadillac was on its decline by then. Decade of greed? Yes. Did people want Caddys -- no.

[jamesm00769]

man people caddilac cts won 2008 motor trends magazines car of the year beating out mercedes bmw an lexus just to name few and if you don't believe me just look it up your self. If could pick which car to have it would be the cts hands down

[25tab]

that still doesn't stop everything else they've built since 1971 or so from being complete shit.

[25tab]

@jamesm00769 actually, it would be a 1967 Mercedes convertible. Modern cars are all plastic crap built as appliances without any soul. And motor trend is the laughing stock of the publishing industry.

[somewhatlongdong]

The Cadillacs of that era were all awful.  The lame 4.1L engine in the FWD models was crap.

[CarCrazy12804]

I had a burgundy 88 Brougham as my 1st car, What a tank it was but a dream to drive!

[anonymousphox]

haha! I dunno about the rest of you guys, but the tape static/damage on that cadillac ad makes the whole ad look very funny... rofl. Cadillacs are nice though.

[OrexionFlexx]

Not sure I agree with the "Decade of Greed" title (maybe for the 70s, but definitely not the 80s) -- but the commercials brought back some memories.

[macosxpanther]

'87-'94 buick lesabres= good fwd full size cars

[montebuddy65]

f--k those POS benz's send them back to the the middle east. As for the cadillacs, The BROUGHAM was the last REAL cadillac, those K cars shit boxes that cadillac pawned off as classy cars should have been all crushed at the junk yards, ( where most of them are 2day) LINCOLN town car is the ONLY real BIG car worth driving today,

[grantpre0]

i had that 89 brougham

one smooth ride

[g57yle]

mercs shit all over caddilacs.........period!!!

[johnkawash]

no they dont theyre much more classy

[g57yle]

"mercedes benz engineered like NO OTHER CAR IN THE WORLD" .......WHAT A FANTASTIC STATEMENT........better then caddilac style, them cars dont even look stylish he he

[ASKconard]
