Cool ad. That lower front facsia ruins the front view. Thank goodness for the after market.

so from ad video we learn that black GT500 brings out the evil side of 9 yr old girls

anybody else notice hid lights with the chrome grille makes it look cross-eyed?

Twin Turbo

When TN posted the still from the video, I was disappointed. That particular Mustang just didn't do it for me.

However, now that I've seen the whole advert, I think makes perfect sense, and the ad is great. There really IS a Mustang out there for everyone. In fact, in that advert there were TWO Mustangs jsut for me......the GHIG Boss 302 and the Black GT500

That was the first thing I noticed when I saw the still picture in the post.

But I liked the commercial. The mustang has always allowed for people to make them their own, in their own way. And it's the MUSTANG!! What's not to like. There will always be things that don't look right, but given time, things have a tendency to grow on you.

Too bad I can't purchase one every year!

GHIG Boss....

I don't like this ad at all. I think the cars look fine, except for the red V6 which looks like a 4X4. What were they thinking? It looks awful with all that chrome and the $100 wheels. That will make plenty of people happy they bought a V6 Camaro instead, which looks a ton better. There's too much focus on the lady in tall red boots, and the young girl. At the end of the ad, I'd forgotten they had 2 guys in the video. Also, in this age where any car can be customized to your liking, this just doesn't cut it. Sure it's a Mustang, but it's not showing me anything else about the car that would really make me wanna buy it. Poor, just poor.

I love the front end of the '13 but that red stang truly looks awful. In the video it actually didn't look terrible as they were doing the color change and the rims and wheels looked black....but yea not a great showcase mustang.

I know showing "performance" cars actually driving at speed is not PC, but whatever happened to the great old commercials, like the one for the T-Bird Turbo back in the '80's...running through the hills at speed.

This commercial is most likely aimed at ordinary car buyers, not the people on this forum. Ford needs to sell a lot of base cars, so we can still buy the ones we want.

I think that's why it didn't sit well with me either. I saw a "tamed reality" and not my "unleashed fantasy". I'm just not the target demographic for this. I'm cool with that if it makes money for Ford, though. I still think it has great elements. And that friggin song is catchy as all get out.

But I'd still like to see a Steve McQueen-esque commercial, like an updated (and longer) version of the Cop Car Chase one.

Ford wants to attract people who don't love Mustangs. They have no interest in pleasing people who are already customers with their commercials.

Rjaniz

Didn't stop them before. Don't forget, the one 2005 mustang commercial was the very definition of "unleashed fantasy" with the guy drifting and tearing through streets in a dream.

Seven years ago and the economy was much better off. That kind of commercial had a lot more appeal then than it would today. People see $ signs leaving their pockets with that kind of ad today.

If you're a Mustang drag racer you want to be John Force. If you're a ballerina you want to dance the lead in Swan Lake. You're thinking of the movie and not the ballet.
