Detroit Legend Iacocca Returns as the Voice of Chrysler

[Ralph]

Incentive War heating up!! Chrysler is doing pretty good, and probably don't really need him, but he should boost incentives if that's their goal.

"Chrysler and its dealers will spend about $75 million in July to advertise the incentive program, which runs through August 1. The advertising budget is said to be about 30-percent higher than normal for a summer clear-out month.

The campaign marks the end of a long estrangement between Chrysler and Iacocca, who helped pull the automaker back from the brink of collapse in the early 1980s.

In one of the new commercials, Iacocca is paired with Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, who delivers the famous, "If you can find a better car, buy it" line. Iacocca replies, "I couldn't have said it better myself."

I'm sure he'll have more influence than Tiger Woods ever could!

Oddly enough I have more respect for him than I do for Lutz. This should be good for Chrysler. But right now theyve got so many hits on their hands I dont think it matters, if anyone needs help its Mercedes.

Man I cant get over that new BMW 750Li in those advertisements on Inside Line... What a gorgeous car.

I know you use Edmunds, but have you ever seen "Inside Line?" (Edit, I see you have )

I like the review of the 2007 BMW 6 series!! Check it out!

I always liked Lido.

But that company needs another 15 years of his influence before I would buy one.

LOL, I'm suprised as to how many of those I still see running around, AND in good shape w/o rust!!

Odd that I never see any of those terrible little late '80's Chargers around with the 2.2 L. It's like they vanished off the face of the earth.

I happen to think Iacocca is one of the best to ever be in auto biz....but will he bring back memories of the Kcars to the mass public...because even though I didnt live then...I know they were nothing to brag about.

I remember they also had "what's his name" played Khann in "Wrath of Khann."

Oh ya, Ricardo Montebaum (sp?)

LOL, well it was beautiful in the sense it was 5 or so years old and only had about 18,000 kms on it! I'm not sure what MILEAGE that is but it was MINT! Heck, even a Gremlin or Pinto can be a beautiful thing if it only has a few thousand miles on it IMO.

"Door!" I've heard that once or twice from women, but I'll be damned if I'd ever let my car say that to me!!
