Although we're excited to see the new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 at the Detroit Auto Show next month, there's not much more to show from the show from "The New Chrysler." I mean, it's hard to get all excited about Vines-free press reveals of three enviro-friendly concepts . Well, you can color us excited again. Meet Rosemary Vivian-Sturr who according to Chrysler's Firehouse , the automaker's media-only password-protected blog, she'll be on display one of the "floor presenters" in Detroit next month. But we're told things have changed since Vivian-Sturr first started on the auto show circuit back in the 1980s. That's right, she tells us it's not just a pretty face that matters these days. Nope, now they have to know "your stuff." "In 1989, to audition to be an auto show product specialist, it was 'read your half-page of script and we'll call you in two weeks.' Now it's more like a job interview. You really have...

Jason Vines, Chrysler's Vice President of Communications, a.k.a. Chysler's Press Guru, a.k.a. the man tasked with yelling back at Maximum Lutz, has stepped down today, according to the company. What this all means isn't immediately certain, as we haven't seen the press release from another manufacturer stating that they've just hired Jason Vines. But we're happy to reuse this picture from our coverage of the Dodge-Peta fiasco Vines was tasked to handle. Look for conspiracy theories later in the day. In the meantime, sort of meaningless corporate speak below the jump: Jason H.

newVideoPlayer("VinesVideo_gawker.flv", 475, 376); We give Chrysler PR main man Jason Vines a lot of credit -- probably way too much -- but it's because once in a while he's able to deliver from his ADD-adled mind some truly amazing attempts to break through the clutter and cacophony of noise that is automotive public relations. Whether it's fueling the fire of the " Muscle Car Wars " (coming soon to a Woodward Avenue near you!) or coming to work dressed as his favorite sexual fantasy , Vines certainly doesn't act like other auto PR bosses. The newest example is the e-mail we just received with a video revealing some sketches of the automakers Detroit Auto Show concepts for the Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep brands. The video stars Vines, Chrysler's chief product man Frank Klegon, chief design man Trevor Creed and Sandy Fraser, the real boss running the show over at Chrysler PR. The video is a mix of schlock and the usual Vines shtick, and was executed...
