Actually...I kind of like those commercials....not so much for the content because many of us could care less about E85 or Diesels and suspensions, etc. If we want to buy a vehicle, a commerical will not sway us towards a certain brand..we be smarter than that. Personally I like the crash dummy one as I want to be entertained rather than having to watch Ford pickup trucks driving backwards as normal or Mustangs that cannot stop in a straight line to save their lives, I mean who buys a car that always seems to swerve to a stop?

I'm surprised they answered as well. That Dr.Z annoys me, although I do like
the way he say "enwirement" for "environment" when he's talking about how the
SUVs Jeep manufactures are helping the environment.

If I may take off on a tangent:

Jeep talking about helping the environment is like Jeffrey Dahmer talking
about helping people deal with the aging process.

If one lets doubt interfere with truth then one is part of the problem.

Best,

So, I was getting fed up with these "Dr. Z" DaimlerChrysler ads on TV
these days so I wrote Dr. Z a question about whether or not he was
embarrassed to be on TV claiming that Chrylser  had "invented the
mini-van"... Below is the response I got from them (I was surprised
that they even answered me at all!)
