Personally, i think dodge makes the best car commercials.
Saw the new journey commercial, and it sounded kinda heartfelt. Nicely put together, good presentation of the product. :aok
Then i saw a commercial for some new chevy car. And it was just basically the car being pushed out the back of a plane with a parachute on, then it shows it freefalling with a bunch of skydivers.
made me go :huh. what point are they trying to get across?

It's an extreme way of demonstrating that their cars obey the laws of gravity, so that customers can be sure when they're driving their Chevrolet around some day they won't just spontaneously go careening through air and end up getting tangled up in power lines.

That's always embarrassing.

Although it seems to be a Ford on those wires, am i mistaken?
-
From what I understand it's Chevy's response-commercial to the growing number of Fords being found on top of houses, in trees, and stuck in billboards. Kinda' like all those stopping distance commercials that were on TV all the time after the Toyota fiasco.

almost looks like it may be a contour,,,,,,,,,,,,
i've got a mystique...the mercury version.....at the shop, with a 2.5 liter mazda v-6 in it. thing is scary fast, although not as fast as a customers contour svt. unfortunately, that persons son sent that controur careening into the woods, as he thought he was mario andretti for a moment.

Badge on the front fender, has me thinking an Olds Intrigue.

My brother used to have MX6 with the same engine. That thing didn't live past the first 4 inch deep puddle.

We call them "Mercury Mistakes" and for good reason! Those things (along with the Contour) were plagued with electrical problems. I do have to agree though.. that 2.5 makes them quick and fun to drive ESPECIALLY the SVT. Kind of reminds me of the Ford Tempo with the 3.0 in it!

It's a contour. The tail lights are a giveaway. My bro has one with a badge in the same spot. It reminds everyone that it IS, in fact, a V6. Piece of crap.
EDIT: It could still be a Merc, but yeah... Same thing.

The SVT Engine for the Contour won the Ward's 10 Best Engines every year they made them. The other engines, yes, they were junk.

ya know? i never actally saw a tempo with the 3 liter, although i've heard about em.
yea, one of my small fleet customers uses older cars. they just bought a mistake about 3 months ago. the owner of the company himself brought the car to me when they picked it up, for the fluids to get flushed out, as it had been setting for a time before they bought it. when he got out of the car, i said "ooohhhh.....a mercury mistake!!". he asked me why i called them that. i told him that i've never known an owner of one of these or a contour to not have constant problems. he told me that one of the three contours they used to have wasn't problematic so he took a chance.
so far, it's had 4 electrical problems, and a broken windshield wiper transmission. he brought me his personal car the other day, and while talking, he told me he knows why we call em mistakes now.

The 24v badge?
24v=24 volts? dual battery? :noid

Valves. I scratch my head every time I see a 16v or 24v badge these days. It was new on cars back in the '80s, but now doesn't almost every car engine have four valves per cylinder?

The engine in the SVT is definitely a good engine. It's the rest of the car that is extremely problematic.
