Japanese-market car commercials of the 1980s and 1990s could veer into explosions and screaming tires, treacly schmaltz, or grating cuteness. Today's Classic Ad features two commercials for the early-1990s Toyota Corolla BZ Touring wagon and definitely goes for the latter category, emphasis on grating. The passenger wears several dozen thrift-store bracelets and screams when she nearly gets into the incorrect white BZ Touring. This wagon got the high-performance 4AGE engine and its 162 horses, so we think it deserved the screaming-tire type of advertisement instead of this.
