I read this on msn.com : Earlier this year, Chrysler debuted a new ad for its Concorde sedan. More recently, the carmaker rolled out a slightly different version, with a new ending. Why? Because at least some viewers found the original ad a bit distasteful. The Ad, Take 1: A Concorde tools through a leafy suburban neighborhood. A prim mom, who looks vaguely like Hillary Clinton, is driving with her young daughter. "Mom," the girl asks earnestly, "how did I get my name?" Mom, equally earnest, smiles warmly and says, "We named you kids after the places where you were conceived." Daughter: "So, that's why I'm named Savannah." Mom, smiling and pleased: "Right." At this point a female voice-over remarks, "Some like the redesigned Chrysler Concorde for its engaging style and engineering." Then another question occurs to the little girl. "But Mom, how did she get the name Concorde?" Mom's smile drops, and they both look at the infant strapped into a car seat in the back. Mom doesn't answer, and the earnest daughter's eyes fall on the car's name engraved in the dashboard. Mom smiles weakly. The girl stares at her, appalled. The voice-over butts in again to say, "Others just like its really big back seat." We cut to an exterior shot of the car puttering through the burbs, as we hear the daughter say, "Aw, yuk, Mom." A Chrysler spokesman said the company heard from "a few hundred callers, out of the thousands, perhaps millions who saw the ad" who found it "offensive." And so a revised version appeared, apparently in mid-November. Now, instead of saying that some like the Concorde's "really big back seat," the voice-over says they like "its roomy interior." But the more significant change is this: After the awkward silence in which the girl spies the word Concorde on the dash and perhaps flashes to a mental image of her parents in the act of conceiving her little sister, we don't hear her blurting a grossed-out "Yuck," but instead we hear Mom saying, "Concord, Massachusetts, silly." Gosh - I thought the Prowler was a sex machine!! ------------------  Driving my Dream |

I remember both commercials, I thought the 1st one was funny, but I can see were some would be offended by it. But we all know there have been a few kids conceived in the back see of an old Chrysler. |

I have not seen the first version, but I think it the idea is funny also, but then Rebecca tells me I have a warped sence of humor. I must be reading too many posts by Ed, Scott, Alley Cat and GaryC.  Happy Prowling in 2002 Marty ------------------ Driving my Dream |

So, does anyone else have kids with car names? My two girls, Ferrari and Mercedes like their names, but their older brothers (earlier marriage) Edsel and Spitfire have always wanted nicknames - any suggestions? Marty ------------------ Driving my Dream |
