Default Whats Your Favourite Ford Add?
(This has proberbly been done) Whats your favourite FORD add? The XR8 Ute? The Courier add? XR6 add? New or old doesn't matter, whats yours?
Mine would have to be the yellow XR8 add with the chicks "Unbeleivable pulling power" : with the courier add, 'guys having BBQ' "isn't that Johnno?" a close 2nd, thats a classic.. :

Yes the new yellow ute and the "Pulling Power" also i've seen the black and white ad of the XR GT with the wheel rolling across the paddock then the XR is cruising through.

Hmm Heritage!

The honey's one with the pulling power has got to be one of the best. Another would have to be the blood orange FPV GT ad. where he exits the underground parking lot and the the gate lever lifts up as it starts... then a SS commodore drives up and the gate lever sags and doesnt let it out! classic!

Just off the topic for a second, does any one remember Ford Super Quiz with Bert and Pattie, or the rip off that Paul Hogan did of the show?

I like this one, because it's almost as if Ford took notice of a post I put on the 'other' ford forums a few years back with an almost identical concept for such an ad. My idea had Ambrose/Lowndes getting a bit more aggressive in their attempt to get to the car (and it was to a XR8) but otherwise, it was the same thing! I even had Ingall in the car but not with his wife...

My fave at the moment is probably the current XR8 ute ad, It makes me and my dad laugh every time we see it, course my GF dosen't like it though!

the courier ad with the high pitced voices is also funny, Me and a mate were pretty much quoting that Ad for about a week after we first saw it

The F Truck one.

Pulling that Semi out of the bog and then offering him a chamois (spelling?) Best of the lot.

But all the Ute/Truck adds are good, cant say much for many of the others...

Ah of course, the F truck add, and the XR8 ute next to the rocket car.

I think Ford is listening and actually making some decent marketing ads of late, let's hope they only get better and make more.

It looks close between the 'yellow ute with hotties' and 'ingal with a hottie'...

Does anyone else see anything similar?

I'm verymuch over the Ford salesman ads!

My favourite ad has'nt been aired yet. It's the one advertising the BA GTHO. This one actually has the performance to match the marketing hype.
