This is part why Holden Sell more Commodores then Ford do Falcons. ridiculously good ad. Makes me want to buy a thunder ute and i hate Commodores for the most part. Ford advertising need to take notice big time and start aggressively advertising against the competition. |

I find their radio ads stupid though...
"With big Capital letters instead of wimpy lowercase ones"...or something like that... I thought almost all cars have capitals for badging?

They all have/had capitals...that is what I find stupid about the advertisement...it's trying to be unique and appealing to the idiotic masses who believe everything their told... THe Thunder Ute is nice by all means, but I find the advertising irritating...

You are NOT serious are you ? " Nanananana " Pity they aren't just airing these ads in BOGANVILLE . Or is their target market 5 year olds , don't know too may 5 year olds with 35K though .The only thing that could have made this ad more laughable would be if it had Chev badges on it .

It's quite simple advertising really, talking about how angry and aggressive the ute is appeals to younger men who are insecure in their manhood, which is their target market with this car. Bogans love status symbols and shiny things.

![]() the add sounds like a five year old wrote it "a big scary". and if ford used the angriest cows line, the "ban live export" people would have a field day. holden put out the adds they do, because they can. if ford or any other manufacturer put them out, they would be accused of promoting anti social behaviour |

The day i buy a Commodore ute is the day when Holden bring out an ad where two Thunder/non tarty Maloo ute's rip out a saftey camera Fast and Furious 5 style and dump it on a Yaris sporting "SUDZY1" rego plates then scream away like a bat outta hell!

I think it's effective.
Though I enjoy the irony in the "angry cow" bit. I was under the impression that the more relaxed a cow is, the better the leather is. Is this to say that they are admitting their leather is ****?

regarding advertising, can anybody draw a concrete link between advertising and sales?? i know thats where everyone likes to put the credit, but its just assumptions at best. how many ads do you see for corolla or mazda3 or hilux? these cars all sell extremely well. |

i agree its a good catchy ad... pretty sure theres already a thread about it too.
first time i heard the ad i could have sworn it said 'inbreed cow' instead of angriest. had me quite puzzled until i heard it the next time. |

Ford should release a Lightning ute, because thunder always come after lightning.
Quote from Cars, ha ha ha. Lightning McQueen: In your dreams, Thunder. Chick Hicks: Yeah, right. Thunder? What's he talkin' about, Thunder? Lightning McQueen: Well, you know, because Thunder always comes after... Lightning! [reporters crowd around McQueen] Chick Hicks: [to his pitcrew] Who here knew about the Thunder thing? |

Theres the "Football, Meat pies, Kangaroo's and Holden cars one" as well dating way back.
But this is a good one that would really sell the car well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=QpiljhVQSQA

I used to love old action TV ads for cars:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x02POBVHM7E Don't see them like that anymore for some reason, all the car companies have gone wimpy, and seem to have grandfathers doing the driving in their ads these days.

They were banned from advertising that could promote dangerous driving.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdtWA...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g65SI...eature=related one mustang banner and a couple of good mustang clips, some more humour type commercials like these in the mix down under would be good instead of the boring ones. |
