Default New FG ad

To all the people complaining that Ford do not advertise the awards the FG has won, nor its V8SC Championship, you can now stop whinging. Saw the first ad during the cricket. Maybe Fords advertising department can actually do something?

About time.

Maybe the Ford advertising section is run by Jeff from the Wiggles and he has finally been woken up? (Wake up Jeff !)

Let's hope this is the start of better promotion of Ford Falcons

Just saw it, if it doesn't shut the "armchair critics" up nothing will....
Given they sponsor the cricket and the amount of people that view it id say the timing is very good.
Falcon: "just keeps winning"...

Just saw it- Gold. I was hoping for something along these lines, or possibly something like "The new Ford ______- why settle for better when you can have the best"

It's a good Ad with all the goodies going in the boot like that.

Must have been from the Russel Ingall days at SBR. When he won the championship that was the third in a row and we only just won it again this year.

Not very accurate if you ask me.

thats not a TV add, it was a radio ad Ford made as a joke back in the Ingall days, and someone just added pictures, its like the ad where the lion walks out of the room after being whipped.

Not likely, it would have been made weeks ago.

Why didn't they say Ford had won Bathurst 3 years in a row? Bit of an oversight there as they mentioned they had won the championship, they should have mentioned Bathurst as well.

Yep, 4-5 weeks at a rush... allot of work goes into making a commercial and getting it approved. A HUGE effort considering oran park was only 3 weeks ago..
Id say its been in the pipeline for a month or 2 and its been modified as the awards/wins have kept flowing, especially since they've known Ford would win the championship for a while now.

Lets hope this ad makes it across the ditch, sounds fantastic.

Mind you, the FG Falcon is currently New Zealand's #1 selling car
