Even if the Ford Fiesta is about to make a big splash in Brazil, that doesn’t really mean UFO hunters should use it on their way to their first real close encounter.
Seriously now, on one hand, this spot is fairly well made with decent visuals, but on the other hand, it’s pretty silly. What we’re watching is part of Ford Brazil’s ‘Close Encounters’ campaign, where we see these guys form their own crop circles while trying to chase down the little green men.
During the action, Ford drops a few facts about the Fiesta such as how it comes with the SYNC media system and ESP. However, we’re more worried about the fact that the spot just stops making any sense (as if it ever did) once the UFO hunters actually see the aliens.
They just speed past them like a couple of lunatics while shifting the car from Drive to Sport…as if to do what?
Maybe they got it wrong in the movie Contact and Jodie Foster was supposed to achieve interstellar travel in a Ford Fiesta while being dropped into that spinning contraption.
Anyway, customers in Brazil can order their alien-friendly Fiestas with either a 1.5 liter unit or a 1.6 Ti-VCT unit, good for 130 HP. It will definitely help them while plowing through cornfields.
