America's ImportThe Super Bowl has come and gone, and the votes are in. What were the most popular ads of the 2014 Super Bowl, and where did Chrysler’s “America’s Import” rank?

Over the weekend, YouTube announced the winners of the YouTube Ad Blitz contest, and Chrysler’s “America’s Import” featuring Bob Dylan was the top automotive ad, coming in 3rd place overall. The ad was beat out for the overall top spots by Coca-Cola’s “America the Beautiful” in 2nd place and Budweiser’s “Puppy Love” in 1st place. At the time of publication, “America’s Import” has been viewed over 11 million times on YouTube.

Chrysler Group has had the top automotive Super Bowl commercial for four consecutive years. In 2011, they released Chrysler’s “Born of Fire” with Eminem. In 2012, it was Chrysler’s “Halftime in America” featuring Clint Eastwood, and in 2013, Ram’s “Farmer” featuring narration by Paul Harvey. Year after year, Chrysler Group’s commercials are the topic of discussion in every Super Bowl commercial round-up, shared across social media and dissected by automotive and media critics alike.

Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer at Chrysler Group LLC, responded to the news that Chrysler Group had again taken the top automotive spot, stating, “This year’s 2-minute commercial entitled ‘America’s Import’ struck a chord with millions of viewers as it introduced our latest innovation, the all-new Chrysler 200 coming to market this spring.”

Chrysler: We’re Still “Imported from Detroit”

imported-from-detroitNot that long ago, there were rumors going around that Chrysler might be moving away from their popular “Imported from Detroit” ad campaign, but last week, Chrysler’s chief marketing officer Olivier Francois announced that “Imported from Detroit” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Francois assured Chrysler fans in a statement that, “’Imported from Detroit’ is and will continue to be the tagline for the Chrysler brand.” He recognizes that the tagline appeals to consumers who don’t want to “cross an ocean” to find a quality car with modern style and technology.

“Imported from Detroit” will be used this year for the 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown edition and the 2013 Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Luxury Edition, and Chrysler will continue to offer “Imported from Detroit” merchandise through their website.

You can watch the original “Imported from Detroit” Super Bowl commercial below.

Will the Chrysler 300 Get a Diesel Engine?

exterior_112If there is one thing that I’ve been reading a lot of in the news recently concerning Chrysler, it’s the word diesel.  Much has been said about the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee having an EcoDiesel engine, which hasn’t been offered since 2009.  The new Ram 1500 will be getting diesel as well.  I picture an Oprah-like scene at their headquarters, “You get a diesel, you get a diesel; everyone gets a diesel!!”

The next possibility is the Chrysler 300.  Ward’s Auto asked Saad Chehab, Chrysler President, if the 300 will be getting a diesel engine.  He said that it’s still being considered and may be awhile before any official announcement.  What Chrysler is trying to figure out is if it’s even worth the money to make this happen.

“It’s a matter of how much the customer is willing to pay for that premium.  That’s the only issue with it.”  Chehab said.

What may help the 300 get this new engine is that the 2014 Chrysler 200 is rumored to have a diesel engine with its new redesign.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
