Could you imagine "Dukes of Hazard" commercials with the new Charger?

I think Nascar and "Dukes of Hazard" would make for great tie-ins in advertising campaigns for the new Charger. Im sure they wouldnt show the Confederate Flag on the roof for PC reasons though.

yes,the hillbilly demographic is very important i know ford probably has anything "bullitt" all tied up,but dodge could work around that and feature a menacing black charger trailing a familiar pony car.just a thought.only this time,the charger runs down the mustang.

I would think that reading how Camaro's "so-called" reputation with the less sophisticated has harmed it, that the last thing anyone would suggest is tying the Charger in with that type of crowd.

Cool

But, with a Hemi Charger...you gotta' have a Joe Dirt tie in LOL!!

Honestly, Dodge already started it with the "That thing got a Hemi? " truck commercials....I wonder who'll play Daisy Duke?

They need to make the commercials funny with the original (and older) Duke Boy's to appeal the GenX'ers that now have families but still want a cool ride.

The Duke's of Hazard ruled TV when i was a kid and it would bring back alot of fond memories to guys that are in their early 30's now.

I would show a scene from "bullit." Especially since the only musclecar competition will be the Mustang.
