I LOVE the message being sent with this commercial.

love the commercial

not sure about the car, the way I drive offroad it wouldnt last for an hour

Challenging and effective. I like it too, but of course 'best' depends on how you define 'best' on any particular day.

It's a good one though.

[edit] Since I hardly watch any TV anymore, I miss a lot of good commercials. The link led me to this one, which I found hilarious.

Awww. Why US only? I can think of two nice car ads but they're for Mercedes and Audi.

He just liked it because it's patriotic and tells us what we should be doing.

I've seen lots of car commercials I liked better, but his reasons for this one preclude showing them.

A message that needs repeated so we remember how this country was built. Better yet, how it will survive.

While it sounds nice, I wonder how much of that is actually true.

It'd have been better if they hadn't matched the guy saying 'beautiful things' up with a shot of that hideous faux-wood interior.*shudder*

Was that before or after I linked it in post #2?

Good one, Mo! I was braced for something from the comments there, and I still jumped real good.

Very nice, and inspring, as far as commercials go. Very stupid, as far as economics go.

As if America could really build a car that would find a major market outside of America

As if we even needed to

I'm not going to launch into another diatribe about economics, but I'll leave you with a question to consider: If the American auto industry is so great, why is it doing so badly?

edit- MSRP is between $31,000 and $41,000. No wonder they need a patriotic commercial. I'll stick with the tried-and-true method of exporting cheap pieces of green paper for valuable goods and services, thanks.

Does Mercedes still own Jeep?
They did for some time.
