Clint Eastwood Chrysler commercial

I was impressed by the ad. The "Imported from Detroit" theme continues with Fiat-Chrysler.

Add in Madonna and the Big Boy statue, and Detroit's a triple-threat.

Oh great, another cliched commercial to get some of the sheeple here to break out in tears.

If Chrysler is so proud of the city, why don't they move their corporate headquarters back?

Well stated.

Oh great. Another poster poo-pooing a commercial that makes the whole city and SURROUNDING area look good. It goes both ways.

Maybe it's an ode to regionalism?

I agree completely, but at least they are showing Detroit in a positive light even if it's not 100% sincere.

Typical divisive comments. Nice commercial. I am glad Fiat didn't decide to close up shop in Michigan and move everything abroad. FYI, the greatest deciding factor for a company to decide where they are going to locate is going where the talent is.

If you want to split hairs that finely, Chrysler never had an HQ of any signifigance in Detroit. Detroit is a region it is not simply defined by imaginary lines running down 8 Mile, 5 Points, West Parkway or Alter

Because relocating 12,000 people from the second largest office building in the world 30 miles would cost billions of dollars. Thats a stupid idea...

There was already rumors about Chrylser snagging some office space downtown somewhere.

I'm proud of my city and I don't live in it, do I have to move to prove I care?

"What lies ahead in the second half? Apparently all that matters is that Scott Walker gets recalled, the President wins a second term, taxpayers forget about that $1.3 billion and everyone just keeps on believing that "Detroit’s showing us it can be done".

Last time I checked, it wasn't GM or Chrysler that was responsible for blowing up the US economy. That's the responsibility of the geniuses on Wall Street who took hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, used that money to boost their bottom lines and showered themselves with massive bonuses and haven't done anything to clean up their act while acting as if they did nothing wrong. In comparison, the sins of GM and Chrysler pale in comparison. But Wall Street workers aren't represented by a union so the right-wing couldn't care less.

All I hear are crickets from the right wing cons.

Yet it wasn't a stupid idea when they wanted nothing to do with Detroit or its enclave and they built this expensive office in what was the middle of nowhere back in the 1980s.

Nice double standard there...
