Batman Drives a Chrysler

Chrysler just won’t end its association with a dark and brooding urban presence. But now that presence is Batman, not Detroit.

For the July 20 release of The Dark Knight Rises, the final piece of the Warner Bros. “prequel” trilogy about the rise of Batman, Chrysler has launched an “Imported from Gotham City” campaign that kicked off with a contest that allows fans to help create an original co-branded TV spot featuring the Chrysler 300 and Batman.

On Tuesday the campaign continued with the first airing, on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, of a 3o-second co-branded spot by the automaker and the studio that depicts a “transformation” of a Chrysler 300S into a custom-designed Chrysler 300 “Dark Knight Rises” edition.

“The TV spot was designed and shot to look and feel as if it could live inside the Gotham City itself,” Chrysler CMO Olivier Francois noted in his blog.

Affiliating with The Dark Knight Rises is an interesting strategy for the Chrysler brand. It has been veering away from its original, Eminem-based “Imported from Detroit” positioning since it ran the thematically associated but polemically challenged Clint Eastwood spot during the last Super Bowl in February. The most recent significant ads from Chrysler are a suite of four TV spots that the company hatched several weeks ago, one for each of its brands, and none of them relies on being set in the Motor City.

Considering the rate at which the Chinese market gobbles up Buick models, you'd think it would be a prime market for Chrysler. Yet the House of the 300 wasn't present in China at all in recent years, as the brand has just announced at the Beijing Motor Show its return to the Chinese market.
In the coming months, it will begin selling both the 300C and the Grand Voyager, and to mark the occasion it has presented a special design concept of its top-of-the-line sedan. Much like sister-brand Jeep adopted the dragon symbol for its special-edition Wrangler, the Chrysler brand went with the Ruyi – a scepter-like object symbolizing prosperity and good fortune – for its 300 show car.
The design concept is distinguished by unique ten-spoke 22-inch wheels, dark chrome trim to complement the black paint and tone-on-tone "speed stripe," aero kit, custom grille, tinted glass and special badging. Meanwhile the interior is done up in a variety of metal finishes, with French-stitched beige suede and leather.The first thing everyone notices about the Chrysler 300 is the supersonic luxurious taste and feel.

Chrysler 300C

Chrysler 300C overall verdict.  
We'll only get two versions of the 3.0-litre diesel V6 in the UK, available in 187bhp and 239bhp trim. The latter also boasts 406 torques, and will do the 0-62mph dash in 7.8 seconds. Not massively quick, but considering it weighs two tonnes, not bad either. We might, might get the US's Pentastar V6, and considering the Grand Cherokee now comes in SRT-8 trim, there is hope of petrol firepower.
