Imported from Detroit

Working in a body shop and working on domestics and imports, you would be amazed at just exactly how similiar all the makes are....ford, gm, mopar, toyota, honda.....Another thing is that insurance companies are tightening down and starting to make body shops use aftermarket parts....most of your aftermarket companies are not US owned....A lot of the parts on your car (bumpers, mirrors, wheels, headliners, dash) are made in factories that, you guessed it, are not American owned.....You can say they are paying a lot of American's wages, but the workers aren't the ones sitting around getting fat, it's the guys behind the desks pushing the pencils, OVERSEAS....


I, personally, loved the commercial and thought it was very clever....And no matter which side of the fence you stand on for that commercial, it did one thing well....It caught your attention....Bravo Mopar

On a side note, has anybody noticed how many gas stations are no longer American owned....I'll drive a few miles out of my way just to go to one that is

That works for the blondes, now how do I get the redheads to leave? :)

No offense taken, they don't have to be brilliant to be "worthy".

[QUOTE=HURRICANEBOB;440844]"Imported from Detroit" ? When did they leave the continental US? Are they declaring the product an import hoping the city will get "foreign aide". ?

The commercial said to me "We have had a rough time because we have been to dumb to diversify like other cities, so out of pity, buy my car".

They didn't tell me anything about the car, performance, prices, safety, and they bearly even showed a picture of the product they hoped I'd identify with.

JMO, but they were selling a second chance for Detroit, not a car. And declaring it to be an import, tells me you now need a passport to get into Detroit. Not a bad idea, because having been there, I think atleats 1/2 the population ought need a passport to be let out.[/QUOTE]

This ad was directed toward the people that can afford the price and don't know anything about geography. You know, the people that live in the projects and section 8 housing with all of the caddy's, BMW's, Mercedes and all the other imports. It wasn't directed toward us, the working class. Put your blinders on and go to bed because you have to get up for work in the morning. Forget about the ad, the government needs your tax money!
