Chrysler ad misled?
There's a new Daimler Chrysler ad on US TV. A man questions whether or not Mercedes-Chrysler merger was a good idea. Then the new Daimler Chrysler Chair Dieter Zetsche comes into the shot and takes the guy for a drive. "He" does some fancy driving around various Chrysler group cars while saying that the merger grants Chrysler cars more safety, performance and quality. Then he walks out of the car with the whole "Any more qvestions? Auf wiedersehen" deal.
While this may sound innocuous, I am seriously disturbed by the fact that the Chrysler group boasts German-derived technology matter-of-factly. Is using foreign technology something to be proud of for an American manufacturer?
