yep, those ads annoyed me from the beginning. i guess they think they are being clever and relevent. Like usual, Chrysler thinks its 1992.

used to be "imported from detroit" which made me lol since thats like saying "imported from kazakhstan"

Chrysler commercials have been cringeworthy and tryhard, but Dodge commercials are continually awesome. I still get a laugh out of

always wondered if anybody else saw it that way too. the industrial wasteland of detroit isn't doing anyone any image favors.

so, battle of the marketing rejects: which is worse, "America's Import" or "Matthew McConaheeeyyyy Rambles Nonsense And Talks To Cattle?"

Came here to post this. I absolutely adore this video. Dodge has improved itself immensely since the early 2000s. Really respectable and they've basically rebranded themselves.

Personally I think Dodge's marketing peaked 10 years ago

Anyone see the SNL parody of whatever the fuck those Lincoln commercials are?

Anyone wanna see some fanboy commentary? Read the comments here:

If you get past the "OMG Chrysler quality fapfapfap" commentary, the point of the article is, I think, pretty good. Brand identity is a thing, and I question if this "FCA" logo will resonate. Doubtful, perhaps.

What has been respectable? Putting 750hp in a pile of dung?
I moved across the country and started dressing a little differently (analogous to "rebranding myself"), but I'm still the same old asshole.

I don't know, but when I think 2000s dodge, I think of shitty the intrepid, stratus, neon, and nothing else.

Now when you think Dodge, you think of the Dart, Charger, Challenger, etc. Not saying these cars are amazing compared to everything else on the market, but they're 24032131 times better than anything Dodge had before.

The dart is complete shit. The charger and challenger are barely ahead of it, although I do love me some Hellcat.
