Chrysler 300 Drives to Gotham City
Video
It’s a new take in marketing and positioning as it veers away from the more urban appeal of the “Imported from Detroit” campaign launched in 2011. The association with the Batman movie franchise will prove to be a good move judging from the estimated $2.6 billion revenue accumulated worldwide ever since the Caped Crusader had its premiere back in 1989. The all-American style of Chrysler 300 is partnered with a tough yet elegant personality. It’s likely for people to visualize this large five-passenger sedan gracing the streets of Bruce Wayne’s neighborhood.
It is expected to see a bump on the Chrysler 300 sales once the promotion and movie release kicks off. Without this marketing strategy, the 300 is still a pretty good choice for consumers who are looking for a sedan with elegant style, luxurious features, and updated powertrain. The 2011 Chrysler 300 came out with a number of downsides but with this year’s edition, most of the issues have been addressed and ironed out.
The Chrysler 300 just doesn’t stop from reinventing itself. Since its debut as a prestigious brand in the 1950s, it has experienced an all-time low when it slid behind other brands for more than 30 years. It picked up the momentum when they launched the 300. It is a no-brainer to think that they only hope for it to stay there.
Chrysler 300 Drives to Gotham City
The spotlight will once again be turned to Chrysler as the brand ties up with one of the much-awaited films of the year, The Dark Knight Rises, from the ever-popular Batman series. Yes, the luxury sedan will be coasting from Detroit to Gotham City just in time for the July 2012 release of the Batman prequel. With its unmistakably grand exterior, which exudes a dark and strong vibe, Chrysler 300 is the best bet for this movie.
Chrysler has announced its intention to allow people to come up with an original TV spot featuring Batman and Chrysler 300. The “Imported from Gotham City” contest will definitely produce the publicity intended for the brand. Interested participants will include Chrysler 300 footage, snippets from the movie, and musical scoring from the trailer to complete their TV spot entry. The director, producer, and writer of the film, Christopher Nolan will personally handpick the winner after the public places their votes. The chosen entry will be awarded TV airtime just around the time the movie premieres in July.
Valentine’s Meets Easter in the Volkswagen Cabrio
The interior of the vehicle is dominated by white hues. 
The seats of the Cabrio were covered with white cotton seat covers, while changing the convertible colors to white. The dashboard and the steering wheel were left untouched, which unfortunately does not improve the appearance at all of his vehicle. The white motifs inside were made to evoke the Easter holiday and references to a white rabbit, which is an icon of Easter.

With that said, his newly customized Volkswagen Cabrio is ready to flaunt the road.
It is unfortunate that little changes were made to his vehicle besides the paint job, seat and convertible covers, but a lot of auto news suggests that it is not bad at all to refurbish and improve your vehicle with a particular product or brand as inspiration. Usually they are of a more popular and iconic type, which is an easy way to get an idea for the exterior tuning. Examples of these include pop music artists, Hollywood actors, films or musical creations, brands, franchises and organizations. No matter the trademark, car owners often tell the custom specialists that their vehicles need to be customized with a theme inspired from popular culture. Again, there is nothing wrong with that.
This owner takes his softdrink-inspired Volkswagen Cabrio to the road, and as he drives his newly customized red car, owners may be thinking of other ways to freshen up vehicles through a good reference of pop culture.
Valentine’s Meets Easter in the Volkswagen Cabrio
Volkswagen is most famous for its Beetle line of cars, which are affordable for middle class drivers. 
However, another model has also proved viable to middle class citizens. The Volkswagen Golf, known to the United States as the Volkswagen Rabbit, has become the popular alternative to the iconic but seemingly outdated Beetle. 
For this owner, he owns the convertible version of the Volkswagen Golf, known as Volkswagen Cabrio, and decided to make refreshing upgrades to this version of the Cabrio.
The owner’s concept of upgrading his vehicle was inspired from a can of Coca-Cola. After all, the base color of all its cans is red, and sure enough, the paint job in the Volkswagen Cabrio reflects the red motifs of the famous soft drink brand. Then again, the red color may also be associated to Valentine’s Day, another widely celebrated occasion for lovers at heart. Little changes were made to the rest of the vehicle, except for an improved bumper design. On the performance side, he upgraded the fuel pumps to his car.

U.S. Audi Chief Johan de Nysschen Resigns
After eight years working as the president of Audi US, Johan de Nysschen leaves his position for a new job that is yet to be known. Until the replacement comes, COO Mark Del Rosso will handle the company’s everyday operation. 
Upon breaking the news to the public, the resignation immediately takes effect.
Many who have heard the news are surprised because Audi has just announced a 10% increase in its sales last month. On a more specific note, the car company sold more than 11,000 units. According to the records, it is the best May for Audi US. It is also their fifth best month in the market, ever.
The 52 year-old Nysschen started working as the boss for Audi US in 2004. Also, he held top positions for the company when it was brought to Japan and South Africa, his native land. During his time, the company was able to see a significant growth in its sales and image awareness. We can remember that Audi became a key player in commercials for Super Bowl. In 2011 alone, Audi’s piece of cake from the luxury market grew from 5.3% to 9.5%.
In his email to the workers for Audi, he explained that the twists and turns that fill up life can bring a person in to an unexpected conjuncture. 
In this instance, what he believes to happen in real life is happening to him. He also said that Audi has been his car since 1973, and would have never imagined not having Audi in the center of his life.
Nysschen made it clear that his resignation has nothing to do with the reorganization of senior positions in the company. His reason for leaving is related to a realization about the future leadership that Audi needs. He believes that a new leadership will help the company become the most inspirational car brand in the US. According to him, Audi is in a new inflection point in the continuous progress of the brand in the United States and this new tone demands a leadership that has new philosophies and insights that are more appropriate for this new phase.
Although he wanted Audi to win, he needed to secure his life too. He said that he must play according to his strengths and look for a new “construction site.” Such opportunity has been presented to him this time, and he is ready to face new challenges.
GM Postpones SAE Standard Implementation.2
It can be recalled that SAE came up with the standards to help consumers in comparing towing ratings of trucks. 
Consumers often make comparisons before making a purchase but without a standard rate to base on, they may have a hard time finding the right vehicle for them. To address this situation, SAE, in a meeting with manufacturers and suppliers in the towing industry, set a standard aimed at helping customers compare cars, crossovers, and pickups that have a gross weight of 13,000 pounds.
After the J2807 was announced, several truck manufacturers launched recalculations in their fleets to see how they can implement the standard. GM put the towing numbers of its latest Silverado and Sierra under recalculations and found out some adjustments might be needed. Toyota, on the other hand, decided to follow most of the procedures and standards in its 2011 Tundra and Tacoma, as well as its SUV fleet. With Ford, the 2013 Fusion and Escape and other new models were recalculated. The J2807’s effect on Ford’s F-Series pickup is something that analysts are interested in, as they await Ford’s move in this matter. Nissan and Honda are among the manufacturers that are yet to release their plans involving their 2013 line-up but experts don’t expect any major changes in their numbers.
GM Postpones SAE Standard Implementation.1
A towing rating standard made by Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for truck manufacturers has hit a snag.
General Motors (GM) recently announced that it is postponing its implementation of J2807, which sets the standard and procedures for towing ratings and gross combined weight ratings. GM said in a statement that it will hold back from implementing J2807 fully until all the other pickup truck manufacturers are following the said standards. The announcement was made after competitor Ford decided not to apply the standards to its entire fleet of pickup trucks before the release of its new models. The release, however, is not expected to happen anytime soon. Ford’s decision is seen as the reason why GM reacted that way. Fast car.
In a statement, GM said that J2807 will not be used in its 2013 model in order to avoid confusion in the part of consumers. The manufacturer believes that following the standards may confuse consumers in comparing vehicles that are also used for trailering. GM competitors will remain using their existing ratings in their latest models and the manufacturer is worried that changing theirs at this time may affect consumers’ purchasing decision in a negative way.
