This is how car commercials should be. The guy in charge giving you the strait dope about his cars. I hate Chrysler, and this guy makes me want to buy one.

[chet440h]

This guy should be President ! He took nobody's shit ! Brought Chrysler back till someone else screwed it up.

A great CEO and car man.

You drove and owned the car's of chrysler in that era "you" know more than anyone!screw the the jap'a they tried to kill us!!!

[AlexanderRozhenko]

Oh, and by the way, that piece of crap car he said was going to "beat the Japanese at their own game." Did it? I rest my case.

I think you find this ad in the dictionary under hyperbole. America couldn't "cut the mustard" anymore, which is why Chrysler and GM went bankrupt. They just kept making crap, throwaway cars and lying to the public telling them how they were going to change everything and make them better. We owned a lot of American cars in the '80s and '90s and none live up to the hyperbole.

Iacocca was visionary in creating the front-wheel-drive minivan, still a staple today. The "entire front-wheel-drive" format is copied today by GM and Ford save for SUV's and muscle cars. He did a bunch with so little and set the way.

Iacocca was the Ultimate Leader. It takes having the ultimate leader to be able to sell the ultimate crap.

chrysler Made a Huge comeback in the 1980s and they were doing Great but The 1990s Era Spoiled everything..Quality Degraded and Reliability Has been Awful ever since ..After He Left (1992) By the MId 1990s They Had Gone Backwards and Had Allot Of Junk...Just Look at caravan,Stratus..Intrepid...ET­C...1980s were Great...They had gone backwards in the 1990s and Built some real JUNK!

dodge lancer ?? who remember those shits ?

[soccermomd00d]

Poor Iacocca's dream. Chrysler hasn't gotten a goddamned bit better since this ad was made. Yet the government bailed them out a second time. And boy, was that fuckin' worth it... /sarcasm

The confidence with which he endorses shitty front-wheel-drive technology and weak-sauce four-cylinder engines is truly something else. The K-Cars were great money-makers in that they were boring-ass cars that were perfect for people who didn't give a shit about cars, which is almost everybody. After they were done picking themselves back up with the K-Cars, they finally got around to making exciting and interesting cars for car people and non-car-people alike.

Then Daimler stepped in...
