Dodge truck commercials...

I don't get it... yeah, the new Dodge truck commercials are kinda
funny, but doesn't Dodge have more respect for the past than to run
down one of their own nicest vehicles by painting it as a beat-up
redneck ride? I always liked Dusters, myself...

Better than the Toyota minivan commercial where they showcase a rundown,
garbage-bag-window Buick.

What is it that you don't get? MBAs and marketeers think they're funny and
clever, even when they're not.

I'm just astonished. Usually whenever someone makes an ad with a car
that is clearly an old beater, they will use something not made anymore,
like an AMC or something - that way nobody gets ****ed. But they're
basically saying that a 30 year old Plymouth is crap, which really
doesn't make me want to buy a new Dodge or Chrysler.
