Another of Honda's clever ads.
I always liked this one - though the one I remember had an Accord Euro sedan, rather than the wagon you see here. https://youtu.be/foJ2eT0BwZQ

For those who are into car design, this site has heaps of different brands' concept cars from over the decades. Here is the Ford page, some good stuff of "what could have been":

History would suggest that South Africans (by comparison to us Aussies) were automotive snobs, after a fashion. Apparently Holdens (badged as such), never met with much more than mediocre success over there. However, take that dirty Holden lion-with-his-paw-on-a-ball away and replace it with a Chevy bowtie - sales dearth solved, and how! For whatever reason, the Chevrolet name held quite some cachet in South Africa, whereas, perceptibly (to them) Holden had none. Quite beside the point of course that many of the Chevys sold over there were merely Holdens with a different badge.... I'm guessing that Ford South Africa must have taken notice of all of this, hence our venerable Falcon GT being sold as the more upmarket Fairmont...
