[tate]

I don't know about that one.... survided yes ..... but with Goverment bailout money.   If Ford said it I would agree.

Mitsubishis come from Detroit?

[Sfritr]

Actually, most of Chrysler isn't even built in Detroit anymore.  Only two models are still built there.  Everything else is either out of state or out of country.

However,  gotta love Clint getting the nation fired up.  The patriotism part really got me going and who is more American that the Outlaw Jose Wales?????  If he wasn't already like 120 he could be the next Reagan. HOOO RAA   Gunny Hightower

Any by Reagan I mean  movie star turned President.  No political intention meant

true.  but it's taxpayer bailout money.  its a shame america is now built on 'crybaby capitalism'. big corps want complete deregulation in times of prosperity and want bailouts in time of need. kinda like my 3yr old!

Without a doubt, that ad will create more buzz than all of the rest combined.  It doesn't matter if there is a political slant or not to it, the goal of a good ad is keeping itself in the minds of the viewers.  I can't think of another actor who could have pulled off the narative and kept the message alive and on the minds of millions.

The cool thing about that commercial excluding the great Clint Eastwood is its about all of detroit manufactures not just Chrysler. While watching that add I thought about Ford & then GM before I thought about Chrysler at the end of the add.

My GMC pickup, and I would guess some Chevies as well come from Mexico, some from Canada.  Suburbans, Yukons and other pickup based SUVs are made in the U.S. of A., at least some of them are according to the price stickers I've seen on dealer's lots.

I liked the Eastwood ad best for a couple reasons.  One, I'm from Detroit it was great to see my city highlighted, there is much negativity about Detroit and I personally know how wonderful Detroit and Michigan are.  The ad was all about hope and we can get it going again, not specifically naming any one auto manufacturer, kudos to Chrysler, they showed a lot of class.  Interesting using Clint Eastwood as spokesman, "Gran Torino" was about Detroit and it's a Ford product.
Hasn't GM retaken the #1 auto maker slot?.  True or not, just an improvement is good for everyone.

I still do steel work for some Chrysler parts.


Love the commercial!

I think more jap trucks are made here in the state then us company trucks. I didn't see the commercial and the link won't load cuz I have crapy service here in wonderful camp Shelby Mississippi so I can't comment on the commercial

My GMC was made in Illinois.  I did see others that were up to 40% built in Mexico, though.

My new F150 has the sticker shown below on the windshield.  That won't be coming off for as long as I own the truck however not sure how much of the components were made in the USA.  I'm thinking the terrific Sony sound system/Nav/Sync might not be.

My Toyota Sienna is #6 on cars.com's American Made Index.  It was made in Princeton, Indiana.
