Good ad, but the style is something you would have to like first.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.

The ad didn't do much for me.

"Man with voice for radio talks crap about people, oh and a car that goes like stink"
Show me what it can do FFS! I don't care about the speech! :)

I'm the opposite.
Perfect ad. The subtle hint of engine note in the background, I wanted more.

The HSV slogan, "I just want one", has always pissed me off. Don't use reason, go with your dick.

That ad could have been summed up in 15 seconds, with the final words being, "Because fuck you, that's why".

Because the second it looks like it's breaking traction or speeding or anything else illegal one Nanna will call up to complain and they'll ban it. That's why it sounds like it's doing something naughty while it's crawling along at 15km/h :)

@Vilante well, I know that why. Doesn't change the fact it has over 400 killer wasps and is designed to thrill and probably kill you unless you're very careful :)

Have to agree. Loved the ad! I want tone and I don't like Holdens, lol

a) we watch the screen and not the view because the screen has plot, and pornography

b) we have 100's of friends online and less in real life because "friends" is just a shit social media buzzword for "acquaintances"

c) "we are surrounded by naysayers"... excuse me Mr HSV, can I have this car in hot pink?.... "NO"

d) "we are surrounded by do gooders"... Every single state's Police force have already ordered and recieved a shitload of VF commodores

e) "Power Trippers"..... ummm...." 432kW and 745Nm of torque."

f) "The fun police"... Always starts up with Traction Control and Stability control set to "On"

g) "The music" has been completely bought by Coles

h) "The rock" has been smoked by the same Melbourne hipsters you show dancing in this add, They also ride Fixies and would never buy a commodore model that wasn't hybrid.

i) "The Dance" is what happens when you leave the stability control "On" and come out of a corner with a bit of pace, the "dance" is more like clog dancing as apposed to a graceful waltz.

j) "A world so cold"... Global warming??? something this car is contributing to..

k) "Wisdom of age"... fair play...

l) "Revel in the Naivety of Youth"... to this day, a large percentage of "P" platers buy commodores for first cars, that's pretty Naive.

m) "why do we travel by plane?".. cos it's cheaper, and faster, and it's got one of those "Views" you raved about earlier.

n) "The most amazing place on earth starts and the End of our street"... I personally challenge anyone to drive to the end of any street that runs from the Holden Factory, and tell me it's an amazing place.

o) "Cars... what happened"... fucking Censors, Prudes, a Strong Aussie Dollar...

Yada Yada Yada...

"The Greatest Performance Production Car, ever built in Australia"..... Also the last.



Apart from that, groovy add, I actually don't mind the VF's but to be honest the GTS styling aint doing too much for me.

Must admit that ad may have contributed a little to me buying a (second hand) SS this week rather than just an Omega!
My cousin and I always wanted to get HSVs of our own and replace the "I just want one" with custom "I just got one" stickers on the back windows.

You'll need to change it in a few months with "I got one a while ago now"

Not yet, it is only a Holden for now so the stickers will have to wait. Going from V6 VY to 6 litre VE has been a big enough change for now, I think I might actually wet myself in 400+ kW!

I had a VZ Clubsport and it was a lot of fun to drive but 2x 6spds later and the motor out three times for piston slap the good times were not so good, sold it got an S13 200SX and thoroughly enjoyed and it's the only car I regret selling.

And it was automatic... And I still enjoyed it and noI do not have a vagina :)
