Default Another good holden marketing

Don't know if this is a repost

http://www.evolutionendshere.com.au/

go to the drive tab for a virtual drive. pretty clever if you ask me, Ford should do something similar. But with the way their FG ads are going, they probably dont want that image..

That's great. Your probably right about Ford not wanting that image though.

Ignoring the fact that it is a fun little game, I doubt it will sell any cars. It has nothing to do with selling cars. Is the handbrake on the front wheels on the new commonwhore or is it just in that game?

Although i dislike halden,you have to like there marketing campaigns,if you look at there advertising,they are portraying their aussie heritage and it strikes a cord,especially with the younger brigade..on the blue side you got the ford ads with fingers walking around and crappy music in the background,what the????

Is that what it is... a Ford ad? I always lose interest as soon as the hand appears and just assumed it was a yellow pages ad with the fingers doing the walking
