Good ad. That XY sounds sweet as!

dannyxm · 01-06-2012, 06:18 PM

If it was a Holden add, everyone will say how awesome it was and how Ford / FPV should take a leaf out of their books............

FPV8U · 01-06-2012, 06:40 PM

Excellent Add, the best we have seen from FPV thats for sure.

This is a major challenge for FPV, HSV, Porsche etc who vehicle primary focus is performance, and performance really means speed.

Well make it an Ice Break ad then. But primarily focus on the car "Performing" (with maybe a bottle of Ice Break in the cup holder :p ) They seemed to get away with sliding a VE ute around. Or there whole "Add a motor to it"

Or just advertise on cable.

Heck they sound fantastic!! Great ad!

HULK EF · 01-06-2012, 07:09 PM

Nice v8 sounds... although i think the BF cobra stole the show in regards to showing late model FPV's.

Holden are smarter than Ford in this regard:

On the ad, it's better than most of what Ford trot out but I still find it limp and uninspired.

its called product placement... do you think its a coincidence that they only used holdens?

Whitey-AMG · 01-06-2012, 09:33 PM

Not a bad ad
Something that should have been done years ago....not on the Eve of the falcon platform cessation.

If FPV wanna sell Cars fast for the time being ...some end of year financial MAJOR discounting would work better than this ad ever will.

If FPV wanna sell Cars for the long run ...they need to stop "focus" ing on the falc and start looking around at what other platforms that Ford are investing in.

If Herrods can go out and design an aftermarket exhaust system that meets ADR 's etc ....beats me why FPV can't wake up and do something similar with FPV branded "aftermarket" goodies.

I'd much rather visit their campbellfield STORE and browse through some performance bolt on hardware than those cheap t-shirts and coffee mugs that litter the shop front. They'd probably line their pockets a hell of a lot more as well.

So.....although this ad is nice to watch.....it serves nothing really to help FPV's coffers. Unless of course they save some big coin by sacking their GM....lol

Did not look like any one of the cars got above 50kph. When Volvo can make ads and get them shown with their cars sliding about then im sure FPV can.

Oh not anymore the Accc or whatever has had compliants about it and there is now going to be an inquiry into car adverts again (in the Age this week) bloody wowsers

like the add, but should have had Moff back in the fold a long long time ago

Your kidding right? Holden hit the nail with those adds/promotions. companys pay big bucks to put their products in movies ect. The last i heard in the new james bond film, he isnt drinking a martini anymore, its a heineken (something along those lines)

Holdern nailed those conjoint adds with icebreak

GT450 · 02-06-2012, 02:45 PM

Good ad but I agree with ESP if they would get into supplying the aftermarket modders , many of whom get on this forum, with FPV branded parts then I certainly would be happier and would buy them. I get the impression, rightly or wrongly , that mother Ford do not want them to do that and hence compete with Walkinshaw performance, probably for image and warranty issues,who knows.

The ad would also make everyone think of this which was on our tv's for so long http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygKeh3GJjis

agree completely, if anything its reinforcing the perception that the falcon is more american than australian

Chopped · 03-06-2012, 01:01 AM

I thought the Ad was cool.
(definately beats any Prius Ad I've seen)

pottery beige · 03-06-2012, 07:32 AM

great ad..

as usual lol at the haters wouldnt know **** from clay..

Bucknaked · 03-06-2012, 07:41 AM

That's it? GT's driving around the track with Moffat making an appearance. Trying to see the positive, but its not very exciting.

They should just have it line up against a HSV at the quarter mile and show it pulling away. Done.

Then maybe on a track pulling away down the straight from a HSV. Done

Not sure the fun-police would like that type of advertisment, yeap all the fun and games are quasi banned, we live more and more like communists then they do!

Pity really......

This advert. is correct, they have done the market testing and is showed as correct.

The actual BUYER, ie the one who can afford to buy a GT/FPV is more likely to associate with Moffat and be his age group than a youngen.

superfly · 20-06-2012, 01:24 PM

^^ that's a good point.

I think the ad was ok but I liked the one with "wanna hear it again" better.

If you want to get technical, then an XC/BA Cobra isn't a Cobra... a Cobra has a massive mouth, no roof, and two fat pipes down the sides :P
