Default New Falcon add

Love the new Falcon add, very clever...
A kid with slot car set, a Dodge Viper and others rolled off at corner..
He puts the Falcon on and it just goes around the track...
Good add for the non petrol heads....

I saw in the morning another BF ad. I didnt see it all i just had a glance and a silver BF XR was driving round and was fitted with the 6 speed auto. So i guess there are two ads to appeal to different demographics

I almost went into shock after seeing two new falcon ads in one morning. It's good to see some advertising, but the transmission one, while humorous I suppose, just seemed a bit 'awkward'. The slot car one is good though.

They annoy me as well. The one which really annoys me is the one which shows Murphy driving, and has a subtitle at the bottom "Greg Murphy - V8 Supercar Champion". You have to win a championship to become champion. If they said "Greg Murphy - Bathurst Winner" or something along those lines, it would be understandble, but Champion? WTF?

Ford have merchandise? Who'd have known. They don't advertise it much.

I've only seen the new ad for the BF tranny, thought that was amusing and very different to the usual!

I have seen the new add. You are left wondering what is this add advertising up until the end of the add.

Is it because the Falcon goes 5kph slower around the corners? :

I saw the slot car ad. I was pretty impressed with the idea of it, it's certainly about time Ford Oz did something unique.

I haven't seen the tranny one but have seen both the XR6 one and a new Falcon advert that may have been promoting the Fairmont. So that means 3 new ads selling Falcons rather than Ford dealerships!!! Whoo Hoo!!!
