Speaking of this ad, is this the first dedicated Mustang TV ad that Ford has made? I remember seeing the Mustang in another ad of theirs a few years ago, but it also had other Ford vehicles in it.

Cause lots of women are buying Mustangs and this ad may appeal to them. Also may appeal to the girls buying those awful Jeep stuff and get them to go Mustang instead of Jeep boxes cause hey I want to be sexy and empowered like Tara.

Men who know nothing about a Mustang may think -oh- sexy lady likes it-logically -if I have Mustang- sexy lady will look approvingly at me.

Rusted on Ford guys would not be swayed by any ads, and certainly not this- - they will buy when they are ready and in position to.

So this ad is capturing 2 new markets that otherwise may not look at the Mustang. Pretty clever.

I doubt Stallone, Van Damme or Schwarzenegger have a CAMS licence, come to think of it, do you?

No there have been other mustang ads for the 2015.

Ford themselves literally poked fun at "new regulations at the time which prohibited car advertisements from depicting speeding or other kinds of dangerous driving".

Imagine the complaints back then if people had the same kind of access to the internet as they do now.

Great ad, it's got a Mad Max feel to the setting, you hear actual muscle car exhaust note, get to see actual acceleration, and Tara Moss being the driver is a good surprise - shows the car's appeal way beyond the greying older fella image.

Well done Ford, your advertising is good! And well done too for keeping a RWD V8 after local closure, now there's Mustang and then daylight...

& here's a Ford ad that did it all really well, from back in the day
1) shows target customer
2) shows the strong selling features of the product
3) shows the product as dynamic and desirable. Ie, shows the car handling, manual shifting, corners, etc
4) adds a bit of New Order, always good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDaLxN5FIjE

sure beats fingers walking over a landscape, oh how far they fell...

So I guess a 2 door coupe with no back seat and minimal boot room with a thumping great V8 that guzzles fuel like a Fire hose and rides on low profile rubber with minimal absorption over our Goat Track roads wasn't enough of a clue for ya....... you had to wait for the ad ?? ........

So glad you had your Missus to explain to you that the Mustang is not a practical car.

Were you going to trade your Avalon in on the Stang? Did your Missus make you keep it?

I finally saw this advert the other day, on YT - not having a telly.

What actually struck me first, was how "twitchy" the car looked as it raced towards the camera.

I’ve seen that “twitchy” effect used in action movies. I think it’s intentional.

Mustang needs to much cash spent on it to make real 2019 muscle car power.

Once it comes stock with blower or supercharger the car will be awesome...

There's now a whole series of these ads.

Clearly they are aimed at the Female audience.
I don't know if they work, I'm not a woman.

But let's not forget, these are the same gurus who gave us the AU, because its looks were more attractive to women.
