You really like this add dont you?
It's as if you were somehow involved in creating it and you're trying to hype it up for more than it is to further your ambitions.
I'm sure this is a common occurence in all facets of media actualy.

The best add i can remember is Bugger!, the Hilux add from the late 90s or early 2000s, every time i see a Hilux i still think bugger lol!

This ad is probably one of the best car ads ever made. Holden's marketing team targeted it perfectly...

Shame all the whingers complained and ads like that are now banned.

Watched the ad, can't even remember what model car it was - only that it was a Hyundai, and if I was at the event, even at the closest vantage point I would be too far away to actually see the car. It was cheezy to the extreme and did nothing for me. Public unveil, ad is over.. so people will have to abseil down the wall to look at the car...?!

There was an ad for (I think Mitsubishi Triton), the bloke looked like a galah. I remember the ad, I just don't remember the car.

The Bugger ad...very memorable.

I'm not sold on this public unveiling. Having driven the 2006 accent...I would never buy one, ever, but that's just me. I don't see the car as having any stand out features, and I doubt I ever will, but somehow I fit their demographic.

i seen The Gadget Show in the UK do something similar with live 3D effects on the side of a marble about a year ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is8eBgT4w0M the video went viral. i'm expecting Hyundai are looking for the same thing. it showcases start of the art live effects.

the Moffat Gt one is pretty good, it would be nice to see the good adds a bit more often if your listening Ford !

Toyota's advertising is quite smart. I keep getting glues when this ad is on.

Also most Holden ads are pretty lame. They get that one here and there. The same as Ford do.

Courtney driving and praising a supercharged GT around bathurst why can't this be used again? its a race driver driving a road car on a race track, deeply in the realm of legal in the same way 1/4 mile drag racing is legal on a track, he sung many praises of the s/c GT why not at the very least use him standing beside/with mofatt old and young agree the s/c GT kicks bootie! broaden the market appeal here instead of giving the young uns to nissan
