Where are the cops when you need one? He ran a stop sign. Oh wait, there is one right there at the stop sign in a reflective vest. He must be on the take.....LOL!

thats a nifty publicity stunt. I would have been more impressed if it drove UP the side of COBO but I will settle for through the side... :twisted:

At the end the guy gets out and acts like he just rescued 3 babies, 2 dogs and a cat from a burning building instead of just taking part in a staged event! :roll:

i think the last "ceo in charge for the moment" did the same thing to introduce the "new at the time" grand cherokee

Given how much damage a sheet of glass can do, I'm wondering if they substituted that pane with candy glass for the event? If so, they did a good job of tinting it to match the rest of the building.

I suppose it could also have been safety glass (glass tempered to break into many small pieces rather than large chunks) without the center lamination of plastic to keep it bound together.

Major points for a dramatic entrance, no matter what the window was made of.

That was pretty cool I guess, although I would have liked it to drive over a car or something.

I cant watch it without saving it to my computer, can anyone host it so i can save as? It wont let me from that link.

Can't because it's streamed. (atleast from my knowledge of pc's you can't save a stream)

uhmmm, That was kinda lame. Just my opinion. I think I could have pulled that stunt of in my Saturn with dent resistant panels. I do like that new Wrangler though. The Rubicon comes with 32"BFG's Pretty sweet.

I'm with you Neatus, the Jeep "mountain" wasn't half as impressive as I'd imagined it. Plus, it looks more impressive from here 'cos it looks like the overly-happy CEO bloke was driving. Sadly, I imagine it's a normal left-hand-drive US model Wrangler, meaning that he couldn't even drive his own Jeep. As you say; lame.

That new Wrangler's cool though, pity they couldn't have shown it off better.

Lol, I coulda made that whole entrance much better. I would have clobbered some trash cans and laid down some rubber with that six speed T-case. I would have broke the window at much less safe speed as well. At the end I would have come down the other side of that mountain!
