Good add,
Holden gets there adds right 9 times out of 10.

Good add=sales
Shame Ford cant get it right, i don't think i have ever seen an add for the GT.

It's a good ad, although visually I think they should of used a bright red car. A white HSV didn't suit the whole concept of the ad of how everything is dull and sanitised nowadays and that the HSV is the antidote.

Holden is proud of their Commodore and tell people so. Ford is disinterested in Falcon and tell people so by not telling them anything.

Absolutely brilliant.

This would have to be one of the best car commercials I’ve ever seen. Top marks to GM for this fantastic effort.

I spotted a red HSV yesterday cruising on the freeway, red with black wheels and it looked awesome..much better than the pictures make out.

I think where the ad is fairly successful is that I reckon it targets people who wouldn't of considered a HSV before.

I think the classic car ad was "bugger". Laughed so hard & so long my dad had to punch me. That stopped me only till it came on again the next round of ads.

Havnt seen this one for a while.

The marketing guys who made this one must have been made redundant straight after....nothing since has stirred the senses for me.

Except this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=BUFqRq9v72E.

But it never made it to tv sadly.

I'm a ford man through and through (hence I'm on this website), but that ad is brilliant, it really makes me want an HSV! It appeals to me highly as a car enthusiast (the target market) and makes me want the product, pretty good advertising, right?

That is an excellent ad, really inspires me to own a BA XR6! It also makes me sad to think that they aren't making this brilliant car anymore...

And this one makes me want an FPV! So now I need a new GTS, a BA XR6, and an FPV, all thanks to these brilliant ads...
