why oh why do I have to cringe every time a see a ford ad...... I have just seen the latest for ad advertising the territory which a cricket player (not sure of his name) doing terrible (meant to be a piss take) commentary. Its just not funny. Its simply f**king terrible. They should shoot every person involved in making the ad.

Why can Holden put out great ad's (think the new ute ad) and all Ford constantly put out is this diarrhea.

Soz my rant for the day, just makes me so angry!!

is it just me or do other people feel the same way?

mate i sell the damn cars and i can tell you they are crap, unfortunately Ford Australia don't have a big advertising budget like holden, so the ideas are very "brain storming" overshadowed by bean counters

i enjoyed the one's for te XR's when the T56 & ZF came into play, driving through the countryside, on a road that's actually a 'big 6'

The last one a remeber being any good was they 'cant get enough of this' promo.. from memory it was the release of the BA? which is now over 4 years ago

Not bad use of a comma there Pat.....

What about the attraction ute ad's.....

agreed, the magnet ute ads were great

that's why i brought one!

.... but i plan on suing them for false advertising

Maybe they need superdan on the case?

NSW RTA does a better job of advertising the XR than Ford does. At least we know they do skids now

I have no problem picking up dogs


...oh you're talking about the other one

I agree totally.

Every time i see that sh*t cricket commentater add...... i die a litttle inside.

What are you talking about, Ford ads have been great, always talking themselves up. Just wish the would actually produce.


Scotty

the ads seem funny, but they don't sell cars - big power and speed sells cars - not that we are allowed to advertise like that anymore!

ford put a xr doing a burnout in an ad.. banned
RTA put a xr doing a burnout in an ad.. not banned
ford show a xr flying along a road at high speed.. banned
RTA show a xr (albeit a au) flying along a road at high speed.. not banned

wheres the logic?


ford has had some good ad's but they have only been on radio (lion tammer? after bathurst as an eg)

I think the people making the ads must be over 80.
Thats the only conclusion I can come up with because the ads are sh*t!
Even toyota rapes us for ad making

Anyone see the XR8 ute ad recently with the sign saying 'police now targeting metrosexuals' at the beginning of the ad.
I thought that was pretty blo@dy funny.

yeah the uteopia ad was good, made me want an armchair with wheels!

They sold that on ebay a while back - some nutter paid a few grand for it.
