A sock puppet at a kindergarten talent show has just a much effect on car sales as the current Ford Australia tv ads.

I agree Ford has a terrible marketing department and doesn't give Falcon a second thought but I don't think that they would stoop to stealing an ad concept from General Motors. In saying that, I do believe that Ford needs a campaign to refresh the Falcon image and create awareness. Won't happen though.

Cant say I have seen these holden and Toyota ads. I also can't see why Ford should copy someone just because everyone else is doing it, maybe they should also copy the Holden Commodore ad.

Like I said, i agree Ford needs to do something ( maybe vaguely similar to the Buick ad) that refreshes the image.
I'm sure that there isn't a person on this forum that thinks Fords marketing for the Falcon is anywhere near adequate. They rarely make a TV ad, when they do it is garbage and only gets aired once or twice. The last half decent campaign was for the FG ute when it was first released, that was quite a while ago.

Was I the only one that got an ad before the Buick ad that was about not driving stoned?
