Commercials in the 80s and 90s, looking back, were downright cheesy. Which one, do you think, is the most defining example of the decade?
Here's one from the 90s for Cadillac. Fitting music, and that overall style of video you would come to expect.
And for the 80s
1986 Ford Taurus commercial. Stereotypical 80s music, kind of a sci-fi touch, especially with the digital dash. Just really fits the decade so well.

the Taurus ad is amazing, but does ford build excitement? I think not. Now get on your Pontiac, and Ride!!!

Most 80s?

Absolutely. Even more regrettable is the fact that I had one. Mine was a '99 Taurus wagon. Worst car I have ever owned, and I would never drive another one as long as I am within my proper senses and right mind.

I was looking for an 80s Safari commerical that was pretty bad, but this Astro commercial is so much worse.

Wasn't there one with an Impala refresh rising up on a platform from some body of water?

Come on. You know this is THE defining 80's car commercial. Also my favorite commercial of all time.

Fond memories of this one, its still possibly the best car ad I've ever seen (if you discount Top Gear)

The C4 began as genius and ended as a legend?

Nah man, it began as genius, and GREW to be legend! You've never seen anything like it before!

The stiffest of suspension, so you can destroy everyone at the race track and turn your spine into silly putty in the process!
A sound system that sounds so real, it will haunt your dreams!
