Hey guys, have you caught the new Ford Courier ad on tv yet? The one with the 'blokes' (he he) at the bbq? I love it, but wondered what others thought.
Had me in fits of laughter, made me want to buy one! : |

I don't remember a "beyoodafull", it's basically a bunch of 'guys' at a bbq, then their mate "Johnno" (??) turns up in his Courier ute. If you haven't seen it I won't spoil the laugh
It aired last night, only saw it the once. Looking forward to seeing it more. Ford Marketing should give themselves a big pat on the back for this one! |

Is it with the shreaky voices and his voice being deep?
If so then I've seen that ad almost a year ago |

Might be a funny add, but can't hide the fact the Bravo/Courier are shite compared to the Hilux/Rodea/Navara :togo:

Nothing compares to the 140kw v6, and the shit all over the competition for on road ride quality, and they are very popular. I loved them and was sad to see them go and replaced with two Navara 4wd Turbo Diesels. But the Navara uses 50% less fuel than the Rodeo so 750kms form $60 is better than 350km form $55, but when it costs $5/hr to drive and we get payed $120 by our clients, you can see that for the sake of 50c per hour, its negligable. I miss being able to roar into traffic and keep up, I keep finding myself holding people up now :( And the Hilux is the best! Just the absolute dearest too :( |

I love that ad, personally think its one of Ford Australias best, but thats not really a great achievement, I've seen better ads from my dads uni students than from Ford

Yep, it is a re-hash of the older one just saying it now has the most powerful V6 in its class. I must admit though, it is a great ad.

Yea its an old ad, but still a good laugh!
My favourite one was the Ute on the desert flats...."must be stuck in 3rd" Anyone have a copy of that on PC by any chance?

i thought i had seen it before....its not a bad ad though...
they've got the 1 pulling the road train out of the mud as welll, i rekin that 1 is even better. 1 problem they seem to have with XR/GT commercials etc, is they never unleash the cars potential! you barely ever here the note of the 8's etc! and is there any marketing for the typhoon/tornado?!!?! i've seen none! 1 billboard, and it was for FPV, not the GT or Typhoon in particular... |

The roadtrain ad's for an F-Series not a Courier tho.
I love both ads. Think they're both old ones tho that have been revisited. S'pose it all costs money tho. |

That is why the Mazda Zoom Zoom precision driving ad was caned, because it showed cars being driven in a manner that would be considered reckless on the roads. Look at the Focus add, with the Rally Fans on the side of the road. The Car never gets out of shape or appears to be going any faster than 60kph. It is a quandary, and while the Papers keep telling Punters about the completely legal and intoxicating sound of an XR8 or GT, when is was advertised before (in the UTE add at the end) it was considered as very much skirting the line of reckless driving. The Mitsubishi add that had a go at both the Falcon and Commodore was pulled for this reason. For those that did not see that add it had a Commodore a Magna and a Falcon on a dirt road. The Magna had Ordynski driving and he said something like these big 2 wheel drive models can keep up with the Magna on the Straights but when it gets to the turns . . . Outside and above image of both the commodore and Falcon Getting Tail happy on the gravel where the Magna just drives on through . . .The Magna Leaves them for dead. It is unfortunate, but that is what happens. |

yeah i know about the rules etc...but there would be a way to at least HEAR the engine note without reckless driving. they managed to do it with the xr8 ute ad with all the toyota cop cars, right at the end, but it really wasn't enough....
