Chrysler 300 commercial new eight speed automatic transmission

Chrysler is now offering the Chrysler 300 with a new 8-speed automatic transmission, which gives the car a highway fuel consumption of 31 mpg. It’s not the coolest commercial they’ve made, but hey.

Under the familiar Imported from Detroit  banner, Chrysler has released yet another commercial, this time for the Chrysler 300’s new eight-speed transmission. The whole commercial has a really cool retro swagger to it, like you’re in some sort of old detective TV series, wearing jackets with patches on the elbows and brown sunglasses. It’s actually a remix of Jay-Z Heart of the City (Aint Noÿ Love).

Chryslers latest commercial for the new Chrysler 300 looks to tout the automakers new eight-speed automatic transmission for 2012, which offers up to 31 miles per gallon on the highway when paired with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. Thats commendable mileage for a large, rear-wheel-drive sedan, and Chrysler deserves credit for making it happen.

The Detroit-based automaker is also still pushing its Imported from Detroit tagline, which we like, and, as ever, has homed in on the community aspect by driving the Chrysler 300 through downtown Detroit and through the suburbs to what appears to be a very nice home somewhere near the city.
