My Name is RAM, and my tank is Full...
 
Lost count of how many times the ad said: "My tank is full"

Chuck Thomas - CleanMPG - Nov 5, 2009

New commercial premieres at Game 7 of World Series

My name is Ram, and my tank is full.

All braun - all brain.

Built not to last but to outlast

Not to achieve, but to overachieve.

I will not yield

I will not downshift

I will not coast to a stop

"My tank is full" - Chrysler still does double entendre ads a lot like these even after Rattner recommened liquidation?...[Read More]

I put in the full ad as it has a full throttle theme.

It doesn't down-shift? So what are drivers supposed to do when they go down a mountain?! And I guess, since it doesn't coast to a stop, that hypermiling that RAM is out of the question?

:D

My name is Prius...my tank is 1/4 full. I will drive further than Ram with full tank.

I will not stop at the next gas station, or the next, or the next.

I will carry those who need to move in comfort but without the sin of excess.

I will help all breath in comfort. I will not start an energy war.

I will carry your children is safety. I will not cause your children to be hungry, penniless, and at the mercy of oil companies.

My name is Prius.

If this ad has the desired effect, at least the crazy aggressive drivers will be that much easier to spot. They'll be the ones driving Rams. That's usually the case already, but this is adding fuel to that fire.

I hate it. It's everything that's wrong with driving attitudes today, wrapped up in one little clip.

Andrew,

The ad was done by the Richards agency in Dallas....all they have to do is look out their high-rise window at US75 and Walnut and see dozens of those crazy aggressive drivers driving their client's product.

It's been a year since any word on Jack Kriz - a retired Marine that gave his time helping the less fortunate, until a Ram jumped the median and wiped out his Prius in San Diego. :(

Well done! This might even work better than the flower and sunshine commercials that they were running for the Prius a while ago.
