Hi all,
Just found this video on youtube of a Chrysler tv add from the start of this year. I believe its an interesting take the whole import vs export debate. I know its on a much larger scale, but the same thing is happening in the US as here (cheaper imports make it harder for local manufacturers, rise of China's auto industry etc etc). Now I'm not American but I can see how an ad like this would pull on the heart strings of the buying public over there. Would the same approach work here with a similar Ford or Holden product? I dont know to be sure however I think most Australians dont really really care (or are smart enough to know) where their product was manufactured, as long as its afordable and does what they want it to do. But an interesting take on it nontheless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKL254Y_jtc

Wow, great ad, great looking car and that eminem song really pulls the ad together.
Wouldn't work here though, not enough patriotism unless you wanna plaster the cars with southern crosses and have an endless supply of grog in the storage bins |

Chrysler sales are up, so hopefully they will survive and do well.
A lot of Americans are like Aussies now, think their domestic makers are low rent. Shame. |
