is that the one starts off with that 80 Beats Per Minute thing and the heart rate rises with the driving of the car?

Another pathetic commercial by Ford.
They say it comes with 17" alloys but the car in the ad has 19's. : |

The footage is left over "Walking Fingers" footage, with an XR6 towing a Jet Ski. Ford need some pictures of XR6es hammering around the You Yangs, which will really get the pulse raging. Also, the pulse should sky rocket once the price is shown, not slowly climb...

Surely they have no money to try. What sort of company would just rejigg an ad like that if they had the cash?

The car in the ad is also a Turbo
PS. 17in wheels was a feature worth advertising about 10 years ago.... But stupid when you could get a VE with 19s for $29990 just a short while ago.
