Dodge Caliber commercial

I'm sure that the three people who read this site every now and again are probably tired of me commenting on commercials, but I have another one. The Dodge Caliber commercial.

If you watch this commercial (link below), toward the end you'll notice a rumbling engine sound. A car person will note that this is the sound of a badass V-8 engine. This of course was surprising to me, since the Caliber's supposed to be an entry-level not-cute replacement for the old Neon (which was marketed way back when as being precisely cute). After doing a bit of searching, I found out that the Caliber only comes with a choice of three 4 cylinder engines.

Um, four cylinder engines don't sound like badass V-8s. Four cylinder engines sound like minivans, or that kid down the block with a sewer pipe sized exhaust tip on his Civic, otherwise known as a 'fart pipe'.

Daimler-Chrysler, which owns Dodge, does make cars with badass V-8 engines. Hemi engines, in fact. I'm sure they realize that those engines sound great, quite unlike fart-pipe Civics and minivans. Dear readers (all three of you), this amounts to subliminal messaging. What that tells me is that the car is crap.

Here's the link. At the end you'll hear the badass V-8's engine noise.
