Dodge Challenger Freedom car commercial. America got two things right; Cars and freedom.

Our tax dollars at work.
I’m not impressed with government owned company wrapping themselves in the flag to promote a product.
Well, cars, anyway.
George would have NEVER driven a “Dodge”. He would have driven a Hudson Hornet(the Original NASCAR car).
Saw it for the first time last night.
That was a really cool commercial.
Amen!
You’re right their current marketing schemes seem designed to gain back all the patriots that have boycotted them, doubt it’s having much of an effect.

X2
I will never buy a Dodge or GM again.
And he certainly wouldn’t have done it in a mountain meadow.
I’ve got two F150s sitting in my driveway.
I don’t know.
I think General Washington would have been more of a Jeep kinda’ guy...
Is this a poke at the Mormans?
I am in particular NOT impressed with the Dodge Challenger.
I’m impressed with functionaliy. I think pickup trucks are sexy. Cars that can handle the tight corners on windy mountain roads impress me. Off road vehicles that can go where there isn’t a road impress me.
The Challenger? It’s a throwback to the era when a car’s looks were more important that what it could do. Yea, it looks like a classic muscle car, but what does it do well? It doesn’t have the horsepower of the classics, my guess is it handles like a boat, and unlike a truck you can’t haul anything in it.
In fact it is the perfect symbol for an Obama run car company—all style with no substance.
Nope, just an observation about where the ad was filmed.
Can’t stand this commercial. It’s ok up to the point that the dumb guy at the end does the voiceover about cars and freedom. He makes it sound as though those are the ONLY things America got right, NOT a couple of things out of MANY that America got right.
Morman (died 818) was a Breton chieftain who was declared King (rex) after the death of the Bretons' Frankish overlord Charlemagne in 814. He is the first personage known by name to be described as a Breton "king" and he probably ruled a warband with members drawn from throughout Brittany. He had a stronghold defended by ditches, hedges, and marshes.
What did Morman ever do to you?
I say there chap, does that have a HEMI?
Why the International Scout remains one of my favorite cars of all time.

I kind of realized our current cars were mainly for looks when I found out that a Golf GTi can beat a V8 Mustang on a curvy track. It wasn't so much the Mustang's suspension was primitive, which it was, but that the Mustang couldn't brake really killed it. I love some of the current looks, great modern interpretations on classic cars. Now if they could only get the engineering down.
