Commercial was nausiating,BUT,the Challenger is one of my current fave cars! It`d be a toss-up between a Challenger and a 370Z.
Best American car commercial, EVER

None of tube Big 3 does well at advertising it's heavy metal lineups. Chevy marketed the Camaro during the Super Bowl t women for crying out loud. I dig chicks in hot cars, but all of them have missed the mark with the Challenger, Mustangs, and Camaro.
Chrysler, like McDonald's, is marketing more toward the "urban" crowd. I wouldn't care if it weren't my tax dollars and part of the glory days of this country being tossed.
I wish Detroit well. We have sold ourselves down the river in recent decades and the auto industry is the worst for it. Thankfully, they're all doing much better. I'd bug a Camaro in a heartbeat. Just need better ads...

I chuckled at the message also. I'd say that a lot of Chryslers aren't built in Detroit. The minivans aren't even built in this country; they're built in Canada. Nothing wrong with that, but it dilutes the "Detroit pride" message some, at least to me.
but THIS particular car, the new 200 IS produced in Detroit (Sterling Heights), so the commercial is not misleading.
So where does the term imported from Detroit come from?

just marketing, trying to be creative, pointing out that the car is from HERE, not imported from somewhere.
seriously dude, this isn't rocket surgery.

considering that I don't have any control over how the gov't spends/wastes ANY of my money (and since it's just a short term loan- they give it all back to me at tax return time) I don't really care.
it's all just funny money anyway.

thank you, you got to it before I did.
And you got to it before I did...
Say what you will about the K-Car, it and Iacocca accomplished 2 things:
1) Preserved Chrysler
2) Repaid the government's loan.
And considering all of the whining and moaning about how GM and Chrysler paid back the current loans, I'd say that #2 is a HUGE deal.....
I didn't see all of the car commercials, but of the ones I did see, I liked the Camaro commercial with the Transformers tie-in. If I could get a car that really did that, the next time some moron at the train station bangs my car with their car door hard enough to break the paint and leave a dent, it'll be their last time!

I agree. All of the Chrystler commercials lately are horrible. IMO the new cars they have are all ugly too. It seems like this commercial is geared at the wanna be thugs that currently drive Cadillacs.
That sounds a bit racist.
No it doesn't.
Maybe you're predisposed to jumping to the racist label, but some around here take a good deal of offense when you start stating the implication of racism towards someone when it isn't justified.

That commercial turned my head and for the last 4 days I have seen it well over 100 times.
20 minutes ago I test drove one with the v6. As soon as one comes in in black, its ours.
Way to go detroit. You got a GM trained, dyed in the wool Ford guy who drives a jetta diesel to walk into a chryco dealership for the first time in 21 years.

If Chrysler were honest, they'd have posted a two minute snippet of this video instead.

I kind of like the new commercials from Chrysler. I think the new Jeep Grand Cherokee introduction ad was very well done (the long version that shows the old footage with GIs in the Jeeps). Dodge has also had a few good ones (George Washington driving a Challenger). The recent Chrysler ad showing past luxury was also well done.
I did NOT like the Detroit one from the Super Bowl. Maybe because I have no connection to Detroit. It did not seem like a car commercial. Almost seemed like an ad for the Detriot Chamber of Commerce to solicit new business investment.
Not Chrysler related but I think Ford did a really good job with the new Explorer commercials.

Yeah it is pretty bad, the mayor could pay for you to live there.

I've always been partial to this one;

Maybe if they would have continued to promote/market the 4th gen, LS1 f bodies like above, they would have sold better, and would not have had an 8 year production gap.
(I did not read through all 8 pages, so if someone else already posted this ad, I'm sorry!)

I can't imagine Toyota making a commercial like that. Not only do I doubt they would but the message would sort of fall flat don't you think?
