The animated "A New Day" spot is out from Chrysler, and while the commercial isn't about a homicidal pre-teen henchman (though we weren't that far off), there is a cameo by the 2008 Dodge Challenger. We don't exactly need to go into the details of how this version doesn't match up with the production version so we'll just say there are a few differences. Make sure to pay extra attention at the end or you might just miss the appearance.

The message I got is that I am going to save the world by driving my Challenger and Grand Cherokee SRT8 as far as I can every day. Apparently they sip fuel.

Nah. That is just a picture of Gary Barbera's #1 Chryslerland on Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia. That 1970's Challenger has been on the revolving rooftop platform for YEARS!!!

Threadjack (kinda), but who's gonna talk about the Napoleon driving a Panhard Dyna ad? That was about the most Jalop ad there was.

By and large, the ads this year were subpar. Thank goodness there was a real game to watch.

What's up with that little hand in the right side?

Creepy.

There once was a child,
He was very smart.
He made the thinkers at Chrysler,
Look like retards.

He knew just what to do,
at the company gone south.
It magnified the fact,
that Chrysler had not a mouth.

When outsiders need
to tell them what's wrong,
it's a sure-fire fact
the company soon will be gone.

How many other times have we seen the angle of everyday people coming in and telling a corporation how to do things...desperation when you have no clue how to fix it yourself.

Agree, what's with that creepy hand on the right?

@zepia: that's the ONLY part of this commercial that you thought was creepy?

FYI, if I had a car company at that age, I'm pretty sure that I'd crash all the cars for my own personal amusement, and come out with some hideous-looking multi-colored-and-surfaced, oddly-proportioned POS, and name it "Awesomenator" or something equally fantastic.

...Actually, it'd probably look like a cross between the Karma and the new Focus, but with flames.
