Ford has definitely taken a unique approach in advertising its new FG Falcon range, presumably deterred by the number of complaints ‘enthusiastic’ car commercials tend to attract.
Personally I preferred the Falcon burnout in the RTA ad – which was for safe driving, go figure.

Deft?
A Jet-Ski prooving how much torque it had? A bloody Aurion can tow one of them without much fuss. A 30 footer can only be towed by a large 4×4 (The new Whittley is the biggest cruiser trailerable boat in Australia). Maybe a nice fibreglass bow rider or cuddy cabin would actually get the point across……
I don’t know much about boats, just mentioned 30-foot as a number to say that I thought a jet ski DOESN’T get the point across like a much larger load (boat, caravan, whatever), would have.
AndrewM Ive seen it in the flesh… I know its new and so do you, but I can undertand why your avg person cant, because it has alot of similarities. Wheels highlighted this, the FG didnt get much attention at all. Its just a sleeker looking BA.
I partially agree with you TP.
The average person will be hard-pressed. I can spot the difference from 100m.
To some it may seem a sleeker BA/BF but anyone in the know, knows it is much, much more underneath.
The ad shows the new falocn towing a ski boat WTF is that all about, you wouldv’e thought it copuld tow a lot more then should a tow rag……
^I agree, though ford’s new ford ute ad is not bad!
I like the Ford ads… but yeah towing a jet ski, a Corolla can do that!
My push bike can tow a jetski
game over ford
I got an FG as a company car last week. It is so much better than the BA I had before & a lot better than the VE.
It doesn’t really get noticed as a new car when sitting in a carpark of Falcons & Commodores at work but the people that don’t notice are really into cars anyway.
The whole package is a BIG step forword. Acceleration is great, handles good, stops good, fuel economy is improved, the interior is good & the engine/gearbox combination make the VE look like a VN.
The FG is a very hard car to fault.
Had a look at the FG the other night and found that the finish is some what dissapointing, the paint on the bumperbars is different to the rest of the car.
Pretty poor ford.
