Cool Some Things America Got Right

Think those little two liter four-bangers with those sissy exhausts are hot?

I'm not a huge MOPAR fan, but that is one cool commercial.

Nice commercial, although in the light of the recent bailout, a soviet commie flag is more appropriate for the Dodge.

The ad is funny, cool if you just take it with a grain of salt....however if you think about it.....

Ad is utter B.S......Today since the British don't own any auto company of relevance and Dodge is owned partially by Fiat with Fiat management CONTROLLING the company it should be this...

Musolini (Italy) driving the Challenger with President Washington riding shotgun since Fiat owns 20% of Chrysler and Ghandi (India) driving a Jaguar (Tata) and having the English King ride shotgun since they don't own it. Or maybe having Paul Revere drive the Challanger since the UAW owns what 50%/60% of Chrysler?

In essence the ad is funny but if you look deeper (if you know about cars) well its funny for the wrong reasons.

I know it was a "Dodge" commercial, but I would have found it more amusing if the Camaro and Mustang were also charging at the british, flanked by old school models of the afore mentioned, GTO's, Roadrunners, Cougars etc... oh yes I'll dream that commercial for a long time

They got the freedom right, but cars? Kinda makes me wonder if they even got the freedom right after watching the ad.

A funny commercial, but have you looked at the sheet metal and build solidness on most Chrysler products.......including the Challenger? I'd rather take my chances with the horse.
