Default Geez where are the Ford Ads

Just watching the 4 nations final and the first set of commercials at half time had 4 Holden Ads.
1 HSV E3,
2 Redline edition ads
1 Ice break ad with the green SS ute and a forklift.

Ive not seen an Ad at all yet for the new V8 FPVs.

Edit: Crap girl fiesta ad got a showing in the second lot of commercials. It seems Holden know the audience who will be watching the show and the slot its got its ads.

Theyre probably in one of the 300 other threads on Ford ads.

Holden normally sponsor the normal season with "Holden Half Time", may be that why there were so many ad's.

Not to sure that the point the OP is making, there is way more things on TV than 4 nations.

I have to say I have not seen ONE ad promoting the new GTs. pretty P155 poor FPV. How on earth the numpties in the Ford/FPV marketing depts keep their job is beyond me.

Holden have their, 'May the best car win' thing...

If that were true, they'd never sell another car.

Rugby bogans are probably not Ford's target audience

So far this year, Holden have sold over 9,500 V8 cars (including HSV).
By comparison, Ford have sold around 2,500 turbo I-6 and around 700 V8 cars (including FPV).


I think the people of Australia are voting with their wallets, don't you?
