New Charger ad, more crap
Mutilating that classic rock song into rap crap,
then showing some YUPPIE Charger driver fantasizing that little kids on bikes are 'tards on Harleys. It's bad enough seeing 40+ year old YUPPIES actually RIDING Harleys, complete with those ridiculous "half-helmets" they use to look like "rebels." Someone please wake me from this consumerist nightmare, please? Bring back REAL muscle cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

First; I am a Mustang guy thru and thru. HOWEVER I do appreciate a nice car now and then; Anyone else think the new Pontiac Solstice could use the GTO powerplant and some big rubber? I think the car would be visually awesome and probably go like a bat out of hell. *sigh* a cool two seater with 400+ hp from a GM division other than Chevrolet (vette) is likely not gonna happen... |

Uhhhh....
I haven't seen the commercial but... those 40 something guys on Harleys are the ones that have been riding them for the last 20-30 years. They are the ones that took the Harley from a bad image to a great ride. How many punk kids do you see riding a Harley? Because ? The half helmets are a compliance thing, not a fashion statement. i.e.: "I'll wear it if I have to but I will wear as little as possible and be comfortable while I'm at it" Sounds to me like YOU are the rebel without a clue. Oh, yea AND.... those 40 something Yuppies ARE the target market because WE are the ones that drove the originals and WE are the ones that can afford the new cars. You have your own generation, make your own classics. If you don't like the charger that's your perogative, a lot of other people don't. Just because it has 4 doors doesn't mean it isn't muscle..

Have seen the commercial, and every single one of those bikes is a custom chopper, not a stock Harley-Davidson. Many, if not most, of those 40-something guys who can afford to spend $30K to $150K on a custom chopper have very little riding experience. If they did, it was before marriage and family. They don't even know how to countersteer a motorcycle, and those of us with decades of experience consider many of those owners to be clueless RUBs riding butt jewelry. Sure, there's also *real* bikers riding those types of bikes, but they usually built it themselves. If you ever go to Sturgis during the rally, you'd be astonished at the number of RVs and motorcycle trailers parked all over the place. Motorcycling is supposed to be about getting away from it all, but all too many are into it for ego gratification, and may never have to replace the rear tires as they rarely ride their Garage Queens. Too busy making money or something. ;^) -=G |
