Whats stupid about it? Everybody knows the roads in Europe are far superior, so the new model must be better since it was refined over there..

superior to what? What European roads are we talking about? I have been to many of the Western states, and there are some find roads around. As a matter of fact, I just step into my house from Yellowstone after just about a two week trip.

Its been in Europe getting a Masters because they bought the Mercedes GL chassis and then outfit it with MOPAR details. I would suspect that they subcontracted the building and testing to a European firm to get the kinks out then have a Chrysler plant do the manufacturing. I think the advertisement make sense.

I thought it was pretty catchy, like importing cars from Detroit.

Those are both really, really bad commercials, especially the 300. I haven't driven the 2011s, but I've driven plenty of the previous generations. The Durango is fine, but the 300 is a huge disappointment, IMO. Chrysler could learn a lot about how to do a luxury interior from _____ (fill in the blank with any European manufacturer here).

It won't sell any cars however.

Since they paid off the loans and are not under government control maybe things will change now.

8 year bonds paying 8% hmmmm I wonder what they are rated?

[Buckterrier]

I kind of like it myself. Now what was REALLY dumb was the G6 commercial. "The FIRST EVER G6". How'd that work out for Pontiac???

Seriously? With Ndamukong Suh it a pretty strong ad, IMO.
