Born of Fire

"Born of Fire", also known as "Imported from Detroit",[3] is the television commercial that introduced the Chrysler 200 to the public.

[citation needed] The commercial tells the contemporary history of the city of Detroit, through the use of narrative (provided by Rockford, Michigan resident Kevin Yon[2]) and crisp images, while juxtaposing both grim and beautiful images of the city and its multi-racial population with the portrayed luxury of the car.

American rapper Eminem, who is from the Detroit area, drives the Chrysler 200 through the city to the Fox Theatre, passing by several neighborhoods and landmarks.

An instrumental version of his song, "Lose Yourself", plays in the background throughout much of the ad, with the aforementioned choir providing additional source music.

Its airing is credited with revitalizing the image of Detroit, Chrysler, and the American automotive industry.
