ChryslerGroup posted its latest Jeep Compass commercial on YouTube - it's quite a bit better than the previous "bobblehead" ads.

The ad shows the Compass zooming through a big city - as garbage gets stirred up by its wake, the garbage forms into a transformer-like dude who ends up using the Compass as a skateboard. Check out the eye-candy.

Dating back to last July when I first saw on one the road here in Pittsburgh, I have seen... four of them. I see a ton of Calibers. The Compass, though - nobody's buying it. It's a laughable car.

About this commercial - it's been airing here during Penguins games for the past few weeks. First time I saw it, I think I said something along the lines of, "Ugh."

I agree. Showing the vehicle with garbage and it being used as a skateboard is not my idea of good branding for the Jeep brand. It does however do two things that are relevant to the Compass:

1. It is a piece of garbage
2. You may be able to trade in the vehicle for a better skateboard since the Compass is not even a good skateboard.

I feel bad for the folks in Jeep Engineering who had to endure working on this thing and bringing it to market. It's just a really bad idea that has not even made a dent in overall sales for the brand. I hope they dump this "vehicle" asap.

Looks like we're not alone here:

I don't know if I'd consider a commercial that associates "Compass" with "garbage" as an improvent, even if it is more watchable.
