The BA one is my fave. It's not trying too hard, not whining about trying to be different or trendy. It's catchy and it's about having fun - it makes me want to go out for a drive.

Not only does it make you want to go for a drive, but it makes you want to go for a drive outside suburbia where the Falcon chassis comes into a world of its own and gives you a thrill that the eco buzz boxes could never deliver

I've been uploading a few old ads to my Youtube channel lately. One of my recent favourites was the 2004 Fiesta ad with the song "I See You Baby" by Groove Armada.

"German engineering just got a whole lot sexier!"

This has to be the last real ad from ford before the marketing team shot themselves and gave up. Luxury, performance and safety says it all really.
