JEEP RECREATES ‘GROUNDHOG DAY’ FOR SUPER BOWL 2020

Photo of Bill Murray from CNBC.com It was Bill Murray being Bill Murray. Fiat Chrysler Chief Marketing Office Olivier Francois says “What is incredible here is that obviously we got Bill Murray to say yes to do it. This is totally a miracle,” he told CNBC. “It’s the same kind of miracle having Super Bowl Sunday falling on Groundhog Day.” "To keep the ad as authentic as possible, it was filmed in Woodstock, Illinois, where the movie was filmed. It features the same locations as the movie as well as appearances by Murray’s brother, Brian Doyle-Murray, who played the city of Punxsutawney’s mayor, and Stephen Tobolowsky as “Needlenose Ned” Ryerson. The ad also was released at 6 a.m., when Murray woke up each day in the movie. "Much of the ad, according to Francois, was unscripted. It was Murray, known for his improv and impulsiveness, doing what he wanted. Murray’s personality is exactly why Francois said he wanted him for a commercial for Jeep." https://www.cnbc.com/.../jeep-recreates-groundhog-day... #JeepGroundhogDay #JeepBillMurray

AUTOBLOG DRIVES 2020 GLADIATOR IN MOAB

Jeep Gladiator Overland Video Review by Autoblog https://www.autoblog.com/.../2020-jeep-gladiator.../ They took Gladiator on an 800 mile ride through Moab. "We chose some routes that simulated the kind of stuff we would expect a Gladiator Overland owner to actually try to tackle — rutted dirt tracks with small washouts and steps, the kind of trail you'd take to get to a semi-remote fishing hole or campsite. Stuff that a crossover couldn't clamber over, but a Rubicon would laugh at. The realistic middle ground, you might say. We even folded down the windshield." OVERALL? "The Overland surprised us — in a good way. You'll have to watch the video to find out exactly how, but let's just say we're still in agreement with our colleague Jeremy that the Gladiator is one hell of a truck." #JeepGladiator #AutoblogReviews
