Snowpocalypse, the new 2011 Dodge Commercial ad

Here is the new ad entitled Snowpocalypse Dodge. The scenario is quite fun and is intended as a parody of disaster movie. It shows people panic when the first flakes fall of snow, and rugged cars stuck on the road or even customers who are raiding the shelves of a supermarket. The whole is enhanced by music that reinforces the side "scary" situation. Of course the owners of Dodge 4 wheel drive (Durango, Charger and Journey) remain confident about Zen and the handling of their car, for them it is not the end of the world but just snow.

Japanese Students craft a Dodge Ram Truck out of a Mazda MPV

We received some e-mails asking us if the green-colored Ram truck hiding behind the Chrysler-ized Prius 300C we showed you earlier today was a tricked out Dodge, or if, like many other project cars shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon, this too was a replica. The answer is it's a Ram Truck clone based on the Mazda Bongo Friendee, which is a Japanese domestic market MPV with seating for eight, offered between 1995 and 2005. Like the Prius 300C, the Ram Truck Friendee was built by a team of students from the Saitama Institute of Automotive Technology.
