Ah Celine Dion, If you guys could have just kept Ms. Dion down there in Vegas, we in the Great White North would have been forever grateful.
Well, it’s Chrysler. If you were getting paid to sell the most cynically screwed-together machines in the industry, what would you do? Quit? Yeah, that’s what I’d do too. The person who didn’t created this ad.
Barely acceptable music, totally unacceptable reliability. Is there supposed to be a connection?
Let’s try the curse of Celine Dion. When I found out how much she was paid for the ad (40 million?) and the nails on blackboard feeling she gives me, I unloaded my stock in the company.
Can somebody please explain to me the point behind showing a slushbox lever “shifting”?? Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot.

Problem: annoying Superbowl Ad.
Solution: Skip Superbowl entirely.
Method: Go have lunch in nice resturant. Shop. Read about game next day (optional)
I think it’s cool that they taught that German Shepherd how to drive.
Press dispatch for immediate release from my secret alpine laboratory:
In a stunning development, our scientists have carefully analyzed the red platelets in the blood spurting from my eyes and ears, and we have found that they’re shaped like tiny maple leaves.
***must credit My Secret Alpine Laboratory***

Hey!
A PT Cruiser before it got hit with the ugly stick!
I think a better song for the commercial would have been the New York Dolls singing “Personality Crisis” – “All about that personality crisis you got it while it was hot… but now frustration and heartache is what you got”
@CommanderFish:
Before??
Party like it’s 1999, Chrysler! (That’s when the ad is from, right?)
I’ll skip the Super Bowl if the Steelers lose on Sunday.

I was thinking that, too. The full-height grille, undistorted headlights and clean bumper were an interesting look. The “freshening” made it much more generic. Rather like Celine Dion, who was pretty attractive in her younger days but comes across as strange now.
I don’t know why people are so down on this car. It handled well for what it was, had good cargo space, an interesting design (next to wonders like the mid-90s Corolla and Elantra wagons) and was pretty reliable (post-2003). Yeah, it was heavy.
I think a lot of people were upset that it wasn’t a real anachronism (live axles, rear drive, V8 that got the power of a modern four and the mileage of a modern 12) rather than just being styled like one. Other than the gas pedal angle, I really liked this car.
I watch the superbowl for ad’s like the Bud Bowl, not crap like this.
@Detroit Todd : Best. Comment. Ever.
@psahrjinian
The problem with the PT is those dogmad pokemon eyes. And the goofy grill. The styling is a lousy execution of a good idea.
The problem with Celine Dion is that she sounds whiny.
I always go skiing on Super Bowl Sunday… unless the weather is clear then I go drive my car.
