i love fords, but this add shows nothing good about the car lol, please ford get better ideas than the same country road, look at the falcon xe 1980s commercial, its got like the same road
long gone are the days of car ads that are about the CAR.
i miss the ads of the 80's with the classic techno music and the voice over man telling you hot facts like with "200HORSES UNDER THE BONNET"....capping off with a line at the end with something along the lines of "OWN THE ROAD!"
Nowadays its not just the car but the music and the pictures and the short story that goes along with the ad that are sapposed to build brand awareness and identity and a sense in this advert for example that the Falcon is apart of everyday life. Its a family car. The car is apart of the family. Its hard to explain but I study adverts.
@andeejam No seriously the ad misses the mark on an epic level. Even Benz and BMW show a bit more masculinity when pitching the big saloons, no wife wants a wussy husband, they want an alpha male mobile when it come to family salooning.
The ad is utter arty farty clap trap, no wonder it was a slow seller at first. The VE ad had Super Bogan Dad doing sharp cornering with his son in the safety seat, and that hump of a thing launched into the record books when it launched.

Its funny how much critisim the FG ads have reveived from car enthusiests..
What you dont realise is that regardless of the ad, you as car enthusiests will buy the car you want anyway, while these new FG falcons ads have the power to shift the perception of Jenny-Average-Mum with 2 kid's perception on falcons..
youll see alot of families wanting falcons again after the recent slump while enthusiests will still buy a falcon regardless of the ad because its what they want, not just an option
Unfortunately the prudes in this country have got their way and this is what car ads have become. to see what a real car ad should look like, do a search for the pontiac g8 ad. How dissapointing....
Yeah i know!!!! I reeeaaally want this song... its just soooooo addictive. the first time i watched this add i was like OMG thats such awesome music. so please can some one tell us what the music is?
Then you clearly haven't seen the "All-New Australian-Designed" VE Commodore.
The FG has superior handling, interior, 6-cylinder engine, transmission, and looks way, way classier than the VE, which to me is just a modern-day plastic pig.
You're just a moronic one-eyed Holden bogan who just follows Holden for the hell of it.
For the record, I drive a VTII and I like it, so I am not biased. I actually have a brain that looks at both sides of the argument.
for all fairness. if you know a falcon achieves 0-100 in 5.1 sec, you would buy one no matter how crappy the ad is, if you would afford, of course. The ads are for those family car buyers - mid-age, well income, just got one or two kids.
I own a WHII stato with 20" chromies, and my next car will be an FG, just because I personally think they look/feel/drive better.

This is why ford Australia fail. They show 35 seconds of bullshit, in this case fingers jumping around the place and 5 seconds of the actual car.

tl;dr People don't give a shit about what the car is like is anymore in an advert, just what the ad portrays.

Probably one of the worst Ford ad's of all time. At least Holden nailed it with the VE ad's, this is plain boring. Brilliant car, crap ad
