Video: Dodge catches World Cup fever with historic new ad

Dodge "Freedom" ad – Click above to watch video after the jump

Dodge has just dropped a special commercial for today's World Cup match between the good old US of A and our former masters, England. The odds don't look particularly good for the American team, but we've been known to pull out a surprise win or two when it comes to standing against the old empire – the "Miracle on the Grass" 1950 World Cup match between the two countries comes to mind, as does that little Revolutionary War thing. How we do today remains to be seen. The teams go head to head at 2:30PM Eastern.

If you're looking to get yourself stoked for the match, feel free to hop the jump to see the Dodge spot for yourself and check out the full press blast. The ad is called "Freedom," and it may just have you wanting one particular Mopar product by the time the screen goes black. Enjoy.

I like this ad, finally the Challenger gets a kick ass commercial...even if it is 2 years late.

[FAPTurbo]

Ironically, the Challenger is built in Ontario which happens to be Redcoat country.

Owned by Italians. Built by Monarchists!

[the_yellow_dart]

Ontario? Redcoat country? What are you talking about?

Oh yeah, that... Heh, heh...

What if the US loses to the UK in south africa? then what?

That's IMPOSSIBLE!!!

The US is playing England, not the UK.

[ocnblu]

Wicked commercial. Love it!

[daves87rs]

Loved it!

[Intrepidation]

That was a pretty awesome commercial.

[RjION]

Why can't GM do anything? .......... Maybe because people are wasting time contemplating the word CHEVY.

Another fine example of Mopar advertising:

Loved them both but that Challenger one gave me goose bumps

[daves87rs]

The second one was good too...

[Drew Dowdell]

To be fair to GM..... they have:

PS: The Mopar ads are kick ass. The Caddy ad is ok................

[regfootball]

cheese

[balthazar]

Ooo, the '53/59 LeMans in the Caddy ad...

[vonVeezelsnider]

Ontario? Redcoat country? What are you talking about?

Oh yeah, that... Heh, heh...

I don't think It's just you... I've got a great big Canadian Red Ensign pinned to the wall above my desk.

[ocnblu]

yikes is that an axis of evil flag?

[RjION]

After a second look ............. the CADDY ad just does not stand up.

[6t5frlane]

Thanks for posting I missed that ad. BTW it's freakin GREAT

[Satty]

I do really like the Grand Cherokee ad.

[Intrepidation]

It's one of those few ads that have substance behind it, and use an actually deeper meaning to be memorable, not cheap gags like most ads do these days (even the Challenger one to an extent).
