@ab348 I noticed that in the late 80s GM had great jingles for all of their brands. The Pontiac "We Build Excitement" one was the best of them all. Back then car commercials were more exciting. These days car commercials are way too low-key and boring, placing more emphasis on gas mileage and how environment-friendly they are rather than the thrill of driving their cars.

@colenbrak Sorry for missing your point!
-
@BigSCTVfan2 sure. but there is only one person in the entire commercial that is not white, which is my point.

@colenbrak Actually I would wager if it wasn't for Black people GM would have stopped making Cadillacs a long time ago. And if it wasn't for China, GM would no longer be making Buicks. If you ask me it would seem that minorities have better taste in vehicles than white people, who all seem to want to buy Ford or Chevy Trucks and SUVs for some lame reason. Minorities have more class and style than white people.

@stretchfooty Really? This ad is awesome.

This ad is awesome! Love the imagery and the action, Can you imagine a car commercial today where they are shooting and blowing things up! Wow, great song too. The Reagan era sure had a lot more optimism, you can feel it in this ad.

Cadillac: The car to buy, as long as you're affluent and white.

@queensguido CTS is a bullshit knockoff of German iron. American luxury cars need to get real.

My grandma had an black cadillac when I was young and we'd always say, "Cadillac, Cadillac, Cadillac STYLE!!!"
This may have been the high-water mark for Cadillac (and maybe all of GM) advertising in the 80s and 90s. A simply great piece of music, one they could still be using a variation of today (imagine it combined with Kate Walsh), and some pretty interesting visuals -- the blonde in the shades, the girl on the roof of the car who later pulls the guy into the back seat, the blasting timed perfectly with the music -- a very well-done ad. If only the cars were as good.
