Dodge Durango Commercial -- Long Lost Performance

There’s more than one of these dilapidated race tracks in American today.  This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, not when you look at the kind of cars people are making, the kind people are buying.  Performance evidently is no longer a priority.  Queue the sad music.  Queue the windswept leaves.  Queue the wind torn checkered flag.

Wait…do you hear that?  That sounds like performance returning to the stage.  That is a Dodge Durango, maybe the only the SUV that hasn’t forgotten that the “S” stands for Sport.  And that is the proof that while many may have abandoned the sacred institution of performance, power, handling, agility and fun…we have not.  American performance…consider yourself redeemed.

Chrysler Brand’s 2011 Super Bowl Commercial "Born of Fire" Takes Home Five Awards at the Cannes Lions 58th International Festival of Creativity

Chrysler Brand’s 2011 Super Bowl Commercial "Born of Fire" Takes Home Five Awards at the Cannes Lions 58th International Festival of Creativity
The Chrysler brand’s 2011 Super Bowl commercial "Born of Fire" was honored today with five awards at the Cannes Lions 58th International Festival of Creativity held in Cannes, France. Four “Gold Lions” were awarded to the brand for Best Direction, Best Use of Music, Best Script and Best Automotive Commercial. The brand also took home a “Bronze Lion” for Best Editing. Cannes Lions is the world's leading celebration of creativity in communications where over 24,000 entries from all over the world are showcased and judged. Chrysler brand’s national advertising campaign was created in partnership with Wieden+Kennedy of Portland, Ore.

“The Chrysler Brand is humbled to be awarded with such a prestigious honor at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity,” said Olivier Francois, President and CEO – Chrysler Brand and Lead Executive for Marketing, Chrysler Group LLC. “The ‘Born of Fire’ commercial and the ‘Imported from Detroit’ campaign describes the comeback of the Chrysler brand and truly defines American luxury. The Chrysler brand team would like to thank all of our partners who helped us to create such an impactful campaign. However, the true honor should go to the hard-working and determined employees of Chrysler Group and the people of Detroit who served as the inspiration for this campaign and gave us the backdrop to create something truly amazing.”

“Born of Fire” debuted at the 2011 Super Bowl and was designed to generate a conversation about the Chrysler brand and the new 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan. The two-minute commercial, which was also a Super Bowl first, ignited a spark throughout the United States, as many felt a connection to the attitude and work ethic portrayed in the scenes and narration. The spot reflects where the brand is headed and pays tribute to its industrial roots. While the commercial focused on Detroit, in many ways, it encapsulated the spirit of the country and the comeback of the Chrysler brand and Chrysler Group.

The Chrysler brand chose internationally known Detroiter, Eminem and his song “Lose Yourself” because the lyrics speak to the ability to do anything we set our mind to and that failure is not an option. The Chrysler brand, the company and its employees have adopted the principle that failure is not an option. Born of Fire also revealed the tagline for the brand, “Imported from Detroit,” created to convey the message that one does not have to cross an ocean to obtain luxury – it's available right here and evident in the Chrysler brand product lineup.

2011 Mopar Ram Runner - Short Take Road Test - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver

2011 Mopar Ram Runner - Short Take Road Test - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver
Building on its rich history of street machines and wheel-standing drag cars, Chrysler’s Mopar group is now entering the mud-spattered off-roading arena with this, its answer to Ford’s F-150 SVT Raptor. True to the brand’s character, the Mopar Ram Runner package for the Ram 1500 is to the unpaved realm what the Dodge Challenger Drag Pak is to the quarter-mile.

Unlike the Raptor ($42,930 base price), the Ram Runner is a not a regular-production vehicle. Instead, it is a collection of  bits available from Mopar that can be fitted to any current-gen Ram 1500 4x4 with a six-foot-four-inch bed. Co-developed with Kroeker Off-Road Engineering, the Ram Runner’s Stage 2 package ($13,270) leverages the latest Ram’s all-coil-spring suspension for maximum off-road potency.
