Porblem is Ford try to be too clever and make them annoying.
There are some exceptions, the feista ad where they use the ghost theme was ok and so was the one where they had the kid use a falcon on a toy track. Lately though the ads have been a little dry. |

I am sure that the Datsun 120Y had a very convincing advertising run too. And the many people that believed all those claims must have been very happy with their decision.
Anybody who believes a commercial, and buys the corresponding car due to its statements is a fool. The ONLY way to buy a car is to first look at your needs, research several cars, look at your price range and from there start exploring. |

Ford ads aren't the best to me because of 1 ad i thought was a disgrace. The one where the mum just gave birth to a baby and the nurse is about to hand her the baby when they look she has bolted out the door more interested in buying a car so she abandons her new born.

I like the BMW evolution advertisement. It shows the development of BMW's saloons over the years.
Ford should stop the toungue-in-cheek , Mr. Smartypants commercials and stick with something more conventional yet effective. They may be slightly amusing at first, but it wears off very quickly. They also should choose better music. |

I thought the Ford Ute ad with all the hot models following the ute because it had 'real pulling power' was a pretty good ad.

I think all of Fords ute ads have been good over the last few years. Even the original BA XR8 ad with the cops following and then that awesome V8 note. The other Ford ads are lacking though. I cant even think of what the current Ford ones are.

I thought the VE ad was a fairly bland effort compared to their previous ads.

i hate the ford adds where the ford dealers have to disguise them selves to get out or the shop, or any other ford dealer adds, they have the crappiest music aswell those italian piano/trumpet things whatever they are just **** me off, why cant they use guns'n'roses for there music to compare to AC/DC on the holden adds lol.
or wolfmother there a great aussie band.

Slow, boring and a low-quality chorus in which the word "amazing" is used 3 times. But sucking when it comes to music, I have no idea what could replace it. Although I will admit, the song is effective because its easy tune suits the tranquil change of scenery. So in which case, Ford chose the right song for its purpose. But I still don't like it  Holden's choices are still better re: commercials. |

Nothing wrong with Alfa Romeo styling.

Holden Commercials are of excellent construction & quality, unfortunately they dont fit too many passengers in them.
