I guess you were watching Top Gear too! Thought it was a good advert! Industrial, hi-tech and a great exhaust sound. The best ad by FPV yet.

Missed it was it on during top gear ?

One thing though i wish they will dress up there website a little , well at least make the cars 3d and rotatable . I was just on there 5 mins ago and i must say the setup seemed quite a budget job . Then my next stop was the hsv site and wow tell you what apples and oranges it really is .

Weren't they ahead of the "eightball" with FG S1?? The Motor industry is a continuous game of leapfrog......

I quite enjoyed it. The RS Focus vs Renult was pretty good and killing the EVO with lots of things that go BOOM was fun although it was a bit staged
That Porsche is a bit of an aquired taste though....

It was on during topgear, havent seen it on commercial stations yet, but im assuming FPV will play it during "motoring enthusiast" programs to get the best exposure..

Yeah saw it. Ad for the new GS. Just a CGI studio you dont actually see the car on the road. Better than Ford ad's at least, it tells the enthuasist what he wants to hear.

That episode is actually one of the weaker ones from this series, good to see that SBS is now only about 10 weeks behind BBC and good old internet download.

Just saw it. Didnt really like it to be honest. Gives out a little bit of info but looks cheap with the CGI.

What ever happened to filming an actual live car.

Didn't watch Top Gear, but good to hear them doing something. What they need to work harder on is updating their website downloads section, still no good GS pics and you would think they would upload the new commercial once it hits the air.

Hopefully someone puts it on youtube if they captured it.

just saw it on 1HD at 10.00pm. The ad show the GT, F6 and finally the GS comes out and it talk about the green GS. Its really more of a GS ad.

And that's called targeted marketing. They're not designed to flood the News, Neighbours and Home and Away to make everyone rush out and buy one, they're clearly aimed at specific motoring enthusiasts where they assume we'll be watching.

Judging by this thread, guess what. It worked.

Funny that!
