Default Holden Trax Ad

I saw the ad for Holden Trax tonite. Patient gets his memory back from Trax Siri. Clever advertising thinking outside the square!! Holden advertising has imagination!!

For someone who is so vocal in their hatred of Holden, you spend a lot of time in threads associated with them.

Such a stupid vehicle - completely pointless... Atleast less big SUVs in the hands of people who can't control them.

Aimed 100% at the dumb yuppie demographic which is the target market for this joke of a vehicle . Good ad ? NO definitely not , well targeted ? definitely YES . Sadly Ford are just as guilty though .

It made me laugh, and I now know what a Holden Trax is. So well done to Holden's Marketing team.

Much better than whatever red car Ford is advertising with those two young guys who want to talk to their car audio/hands free system. That's really not doing it for me Ford - wasn't impressed with it at the Ford Vision event either - partially because it really didn't want to work, partially because that technology doesn't thrill me.

Yes, I'm old school and probably not the target demographic for either vehicle anyway.

I must have misunderstood the ad. I saw it and thought he was throwing himself off the jetty trying to kill himself for buying a holden.

It will be interesting to read the road report on Ford Ecosport (India) and Trax (Korea).
Did a price on Holden website LS is $27500 drive away the LTZ is $31500 drive away.
Lets hope FORD is smart and under cuts the price,,,,

To anyone who would pay $27,500.00 let alone $31,500.00 for one of these , which looks nothing more than a Korean built modern day incarnation of a Cruze ( Suzuki Ignis ) with a few more yuppie gimmicks I have a lovely Bridge and Opera House I'd love to sell you .

Holden kicked their usual marketing goal. Love it or loath it you watched it and it's in your HEAD.
