Absolutely love this commercial

If anybody has seen the Dodge Brothers commercials lately, they are kind of fun. This is the newest one and the most car-centric I've seen in a while. Plus the Hellcats are in it.

Pretty good commercial I agree, but my take away is that Dodge has certainly made a lot of big ill handling cars. From the 40's up through the 70's you would've been lucky to keep it on the road if you had to execute an emergency lane change. Seriously makes me want to avoid Dodges. At least the new cars look like they don't wallow down the road, but they sound like a cross between the pits at Talledega and bike week at Sturgis. Other than the loud noise are those cars identifiable as Hellcats?

At least this one didn't try to make us buy a Dodge because one of the brothers "ran for office". Dodge and I suppose their advertising agency must be the only people to not realize that this country has a low regard for our elected "leaders". They say he ran for office, I hear that he was a liar, crook and a con man.

That was cool

It's a fun commercial.

Yeah, because a 40's Ford handles better than a Honda CRX (roll eyes HUGE). If that's actually what you take away from that commercial, I'm amazed.
I think that's a great commercial. It's a good way of showcasing some of the more notable cars from the 100 history, and we can see and hear the cars in action. Very cool.

No question that newer cars handle better than older cars in general. If I were making the commercial and wanted to showcase a bunch of cars and create a rolling timeline of company history I just wouldn't have made them all wallowing back and forth barely able to stay on the road. I would've showcased them differently. Like I said before, I thought that it was a pretty good commercial. I enjoyed watching it, but it does absolutely nothing towards making me want a Dodge. Put your eyes back in your head now.

What does watching a fury or coronet "wallow around" on the road have to do with a 2015 anything? Have you thought that since Dodge is the performance brand they may have targeted the commercial to people who know something about cars?

I enjoyed seeing a dodge commercial without Richard Rawlings in it.

My thoughts exactly.

That was an awesome ad.

In reply to T.J.: Dude, really you need to take a chill pill and kick back.

By law, any commercial with a Super Bee in it automatically kicks ass.

I gotta admit I like those ads. Beats hell out of, say, the Volvo ads showing the oh so connected wandering about and mashing touch screens. Hell, you don't even see the damn car till the very end and that only from a distance.

Keep in mind that the cars shown in those ads were bleeding edge at the time, just like the Challenger etc are now.

Cool ad. WAYYYY better than the "don't touch my Dart" garbage.

I liked it. I'm sure they handled the older cars more jerkily than necessary to make things look more exciting.

Exactly my point.

You guys seem very thin skinned about this. I didn't even bring up the fact that they seem to be portraying chargers/challengers as good cars for street racing and if you have a viper, well then you are so important you are entitled to just drive right down the center of the road straddling the yellow line. I can only imagine the mess that would happen if some one actually didn't like the ad.

In reply to T.J.:

Where are you coming up with this stuff?

There is a reason at the 10 second mark that the fine print on the bottom of the screen says "Professional drivers on a closed course. Fictionalization, do not attempt. Aftermarket accessories shown." It's there for the people who can't understand that it's not real and it's just a car advertisement.

Also, the cars aren't "wallowing down the road", it's supposed to be two brothers trying to one-up each other, so they are trying to get around each other and there's some swerving and such.

T.J. is one of the reasons we have the silly warnings on stuff like hair driers. Some people take things exactly as they see them, no room for interpretation.
No offense meant to T.J.

I dig it.

DANG!! I never see that coming. Thanks.

The Purple Bee will be at the Spring Fling Mopar show in LA Saturday. It's owned by one of the Chrysler Performance West club members :) The Other cars used were all from the Chrysler Historical collection or prototypes (the "Hellcat" had 3D printed mirrors because the production units weren't available yet)

the best commercial i've seen for Dodge lately was that recent episode of Roadkill that was sponsored by Subaru... well, it might not sell any new Dodges, but it showed how much fun a crusty 68 Charger can be on a rally course..

You guys crack me up.
