Like another thread on this forum, it's a shame about the music overdub.

Sweet ad though.

On a side note, why would Ford want to do an ad like that when their target market isn't enthusiasts. Enthusiasts generally buy cars regardless of advertising.

That car is horn material! The add could be seen as a little bit iffy to some people, but its very clever, made me watch the whole thing. (i normally get bored with ads)

Because they can. It's desire for the brand they are building from the public so buyers that can afford one have someone to show off to.

I think this was FPVs best attempt at an ad:

Agreed great add, replace the dubbing with the sound of the engine and it would be perfect.

Great ad.

Now that car would be an absolute waste to drive in Australia (well, only if you wanted to follow the screwy road rules : )
