    Not only is the commercial utter nonsense but that final reveal animation of the Jeep is amateurish at best. #jeep

    I am Jeep.

    Where you want to go, I'll get you there. And back again.

    When you want to achieve more, I'll boost you up. When the bottom falls out, I've got your back.

    I'm not the Grand Canyon. I am the Colorado River. I'm not the Sahara Desert. I'm the scirocco winds.

    Whatever stands between you and your destination, I can surpass it. Born of international fury, tempered in corporate fires, I am the survivor.

    I am Jeep.

    Hey, Chrysler, that's a freebie. #jeep

    No Corinthian leather, no Lee Iacocca, no mud, no, well, anything.

    Epic FAIL.

    I can make a better commercial for an off-roader with my W124 Mercedes and an old Sony Hi-8 camcorder.

    I saw this the other day and it really made no sense to me. It didn't seem to broaden the market, and it certainly didn't appeal to me - and I'm a Jeep guy. I don't know what they were aiming for there - maybe a little Fight Club vibe or something? Whatever it was, it failed. #jeep

    The worst part is that it doesn't make sense-

    1-if you're 'riding' in a car, you're sitting in the passenger seat. One 'drives' a car. Believe me, many meetings were held to debate the choice of the word 'ride' over the word 'drive'-"but 'ride' sounds more exciting, like riding a motorcycle" etc.

    2-the commercial implies that you should walk away from your mind-numbing, soulless existence-i.e., your job and replace it with Jeepin', 24/7. I'm sure the significant other will be thrilled about that life-changing revelation.

    Yeah, I know, it's an ad, so looking for logic is like kissing the Blarney Stone, but this one seems particularly egregious. And it didn't convince me to buy a Jeep. #jeep

    My name is Jeep. My ad is dull...?

    I can't watch these videos here, and haven't seen this or the Ram ad yet on TV. I saw a new ad for the Journey which I thought was better than ok. All these ads are working on some level, because everyone is talking about them, even if it IS just to ridicule. #jeep

    If I was well-off, I'd definitely buy it, sell the rims (replace 'em with steelies, even), and off-road that thing until it broke/got horribly mired. Then I'd haul it out and drive it around juuuust like that.

    Actually, hell, I'd probably park it outside the guy's house, dented, scratched, covered in mud. The reaction alone would be worth the money. #1996jeepgrandcherokee

    I recall a 5-year plan in the movie Big Daddy.

    I know it resulted in working at Hooter's.

    How bad can this be? #chrysler
