Chrysler and Batman Make for the Ultimate Team-Up

The Imported from Detroit commercial series is one that we’ve followed very closely here. We’re also very big fans of the advertising that they have put out. The Clint Eastwood commercial during the Super Bowl was the star of the night. Personally, I’m also a huge fan of the Christopher Nolan Batman films. The Dark Knight was easily one of my favorite movies in a long time. Chrysler must’ve decided to branch out to include all my joy into one thing as they have found a way to put both the Batman and Imported from Detroit together.

Imported from Gotham City introduces a new onslaught of building up hype for the new Dark Knight Rises movie coming out this summer. Part of the advertising will include a contest in which contestants try to create an original TV spot including both the Dark Knight and the Chrysler Brand with the help of an assortment of assets that includes Chrysler 300 car footage and Batman footage from the official trailer. The winner will be chosen by the man himself, Christopher Nolan on July 20th which will then appear on television. The winner will also be given an all-expenses paid trip to Hollywood to finish the spot with a professional editor. Afterward, they’ll be flown out to NYC for the red carpet treatment at a premiere screening of The Dark Knight Rises on July 16th.

Chrysler will also be airing their own ad for the team-up. The new commercial will feature the 300 sedan and will be aired starting June 19th. “The 2012 Chrysler 300 featured in this marketing and advertising campaign was created intentionally to look as if it could be driven on the streets and fit in to the nightlife of Gotham City; it’s clearly a vehicle that stands out and makes one take notice,” said Saad Chehab, Chrysler Brand CEO.

Total Car Score has released its list of the top 10 car brands of 2012, and this year, Chrysler beat out BMW and Kia to earn the #8 spot on the list.

The list’s rankings were based purely on reviews and performance. Total Car Score, also known as the Rotten Tomatoes of car review sites, collects reviews from the most trusted car critics including Consumer Reports, Edmunds, The Car Connection, and MSN Autos, and they calculate a composite score based on those reviews. Chrysler made the top 10 list right alongside other top-of-the-line brands like Infiniti, Mercedes-Bez, and Lexus.

For Chrysler, this is an amazing accomplishment. They are the second most improved brand on the list with an overall score of 79.78 and 3.71 point improvement from 2011. Only a short time ago, some people had counted Chrysler out, and yet here it is on the top 10 brands of 2012. Chrysler’s comeback continues, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

May Sales Numbers Break Five-Year Record

In Chrysler’s now-famous 2012 Super Bowl ad, Clint Eastwood says, “It’s halftime, America, and our second half is about to begin.” According to the latest sales numbers, Chrysler is taking that to heart and winning big in its “second half.”

Comparing May 2011 to May 2012, Chrysler had a 30 percent sales jump, leading to the best sales numbers for Chrysler in five years. In that month alone, Chrysler sold 150,000 models and blew away their domestic and international competition. General Motors had an 11 percent sales increase, and Ford had a 13 percent increase. While Toyota also posted an enormous sales increase of 87 percent, that is expected considering that their production was affected by the earthquake in Japan.

Chrysler should be proud of the sales they have earned so far this year. To see these numbers so early on in the year is fantastic, and the Dodge Dart, their big car of 2012, hasn’t even been released yet. They might have broken their five-year sales record in May, but I don’t think it will be too long before that record is broken again.
