wamba2000 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looks like Ford has new ads to run for C-Max, saw them during the Rose Bowl broadcast on New Years Day.Shows a middle aged couple with a couple teenaged kids, that have a C-Max. A couple comments about acceleration and handling reference the Prius competition. Tag line at the end is to try the CMax out, and you will end up buying it, or something like that. Glad to see Ford put some $ into getting the message out that the CMax is a unique and desirable vehicle C-MaxSea, hybridbear, Jus-A-CMax and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 We were in LA last week and heard several radio ads for local dealerships advertising the C-MAX! About damn time! Laurel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomtrey Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 just saw a real ad for the hybrid on the packers/49ers game!!! got so excited! not a silly cartoon that says nothing, but one with adults in it talking about how well it drives. thrilling. I was beginning to think they would never advertise it. ScubaDadMiami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveofDurham Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Do you recall approx when in the game the ad ran? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomtrey Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I believe it was in the 3rd quarter. the time was 7:07; just unsure when the game started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxTom Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Since they're still not producing '14 C-Max Hybrids, is the ad designed to move the remaining '13s off the lot? Maybe then they'll start producing the '14s! Maybe trying also to stir up '14 orders. Couldn't tell the model year in the ad. Same color as mine, but saw no feature differences.

ScubaDadMiami Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I just saw (didn't really catch it all) that new commercial for the C-MAX. From what I saw, I liked it. I never liked that poetry cartoon commercial. It's not that I hated it; it's just that you don't need gimmicks for such a great car, and they never discussed more than the fact that the C-MAX holds five, is a hybrid, and gets great fuel economy.

ptjones Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have seen three ads in the last couple of weeks, I liked the Prius comparison one. LOL :yahoo: Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 In the past 24 hours, I saw the commercial (still never the entire thing in one shot) three times. Maybe they are advertising heavier where it gets warm in the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitinuri Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just saw the new add during the Seahawks/Saints game. It all true. I am a former Prius guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmckinley Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I've seen the ad. It's kind of sad that about all they can talk about is better performance than a Prius. If I had of wanted a performance car, I would have bought a Focus ST. Lighter, faster, cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Saw this new ad today - Grouper (our C-Max) is a star now. I thought it was reasonably good - hitting the high points & colorful (except for the car), It was only a 30 second spot, so they could not elaborate on anything. A good start, albeit late. Goooooooo C-Max, and the Hawks, of course. nick Edited January 12, 2014 by C-MaxSea allyoop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had of wanted a performance car, I would have bought a Focus ST. Lighter, faster, cheaper. Meh. If I wanted a performance car, I just buy a Mustang GT - sounds better, beefier and more money and lots of street cred (at least here in LA)....p*ss on the FOcus ST :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus-A-CMax Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nope, that seen that ad here.We keep that Mammoth/blue woman & dog ad though. Thats funny cause of all the times I have been to Mammoth since the CMax was released, it was jus moi.....so much for the effectiveness of that ad.... :secret: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveofDurham Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Sal and family also appeared in a mid-show commercial break in last week's Big Bang Theory. We will know the ad was a hit with the target audience if Sheldon decides to get a license. Edited January 15, 2014 by DaveofDurham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Jerry saw 2 C-MAX ads Saturday night, one comparing with a Prius (I'm guessing Sal and family) and another one. I saw the same ad last night on a rerun of Modern Family. On the you tube link you can vote for the ad. Right now it's about 97% positive.

Jaydrama Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 My initial reaction to the young man in the TV commercial that the C-max "runs rings around the Prius" was, "SO THAT'S WHY THE TURNING RADIUS IS SO LARGE!"

ptjones Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I saw the same CMAX add three times on Castle last night. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
