Are we playing to the Tea Party sentiment or what? Regardless, a hell of a commercial.

Little did I know this has been on Youtube since June. First time I've seen it in my market area was tonight.

Hate to rain on your parade

...but we have the Patriot act, Dodge is now part of Italian automaker Fiat and our people are "moved"? by cornball, "hide behind the flag", misleading commercials.

Geez Mike

Are you always that much of a buzz-kill? I bet you read the books then gripe through the movie too, eh?

🙂

Not raining on my parade

I think it is silly to wrap cars in patriotism to sell but I still think it is a cool commercial. I'm sure some simpleton's purchase decision was influenced by this commercial but I can't say I'll be buying one anytime soon.

Since Fiat also owns the former Ford Tractors, I was hoping that they'd start calling them "Dodge Tractors" instead of "New Holland".

I like the commercial. It hasn't affected my opinion of wanting one. I've wanted one since the first reports of them came out about 3 years ago.

I just saw it again and though how interesting it might be to edit out the automobiles with the aid of computer magic. The Washington actor is not remarkably Washingtonesque, but does some to have the missing teeth/collapsed jawline and stern visage one would expect of the real deal. I would enjoy the revolutionary imagery without the preposterous automobiles.
