| 95. I think you're reading way too much into this commercial |
|
GM's already done the whole Amurricaisawesomebuyourcar angle...Chrysler just decided to make Detroit look really, really good. It's good just to see an automaker shining a good light on the town and the people that built it.
You can take or leave Eminem. I'm not a huge fan, but I know he's incredibly loyal to his hometown, so it was fitting to have someone that well-known starring in a Detroit pep talk.
