This may be the best car in Australia, but I would say this is the best ad in the world. I haven't watched something this powerfull since the intro to Forza 4 with Jeremy Clarkson. You did an amazing job. Whoever was responsible for this ad shoud get a raise!
@@MrRonan3 I assume you have grown up in Australia, with these cars around you, so you see this ad/brand differently. End of the day, the owner defines the 'Commodore'-ness. There are beatdown VTs with rusted paint with bogan drivers flippin the bird driving down western Sydney and then there are enthusiasts with pristine HSVs/Senators/Granges who maintain these cars with dignity. Should you ask car guys from the US or even many European countries, you'd be surprised how much appreciation and street cred these cars hold. Anyhow, I was referring more to the way this ad captures the spirit and the time us car guys currently live in. All we need is a handful of true friends, some dance, some rock, and a mean street machine!
@@whoissarthak I understand. it was great for for Australia. not anywhere else. i have had stick for driving a 2ltr bottle of milk engine for years and i dont care becuase its bloody fast and does the job and is sold all the world. Holden had a great product which fell behind and could not keep up with smaller engine cars.im glad they made them.but as in the USA the V8 is now becoming a dinosaur. there is not a Holden ever made out of the crate which will touch the small german hatchbacks for speed or build quality so their time has come. so your right look after those last few as i am sure many owners will,
@@MrRonan3 I hear ya. They died just as they got a little better with the release of the VFs. Sad demise of the Aussie v8 muscle. Also agree that practically dictates one can have just as much fun with a daily driver Golf or a turbo 6, without worrying about the fuel gauge too much.
I watch this add at least once a day... it is so addictive, it is so true... and when you hear the roar of the exhaust from the GTS... it always brings a smile to my face.
Could not agree more, HSV is the best car I have ever owned and each time I enter the car I am full of energy buzzing from the raw nature of this refined beast.
I watched this ad hundred+ times when it came out. Desired a Heron white manual with black SV wheels. fortunate enough to say I've owned a Clubsport R8 SV in that colour combo for a couple of years now. Still love this ad!
THE BEST CAR AD FOR ALL TIME!!! Love it the first time I saw it on RUclips. The first video ad I did not dare stop playing. Want me to wanna buy the car (in due time). Congrats to the production people.
A crime that in 5 years we went from designing manufacturing selling these and ones like it to crickets. All that talent wasted, why the government of the day cut the Automotive grants and killed Automotive manufacturing is a crime. Should never be forgiven.
The best ad of 2013 by a long shot! I say that as someone who doesn't even drive a Holden (1993 Land Rover Defender and 2013 Toyota Hilux)...this made me want to go out and buy one. Props to the agency and creative behind this.
Everything about this commercial is just so right! Most cars are "Vanilla." and Why do people spend so much time overseas, when they live in the best country on the planet? No thanks, i would rather take the Gen F GTS across the Nullabor, and see how much fun a supercharged V8 is on the worlds longest straight road. Well done HSV, the cars look great and that is the best car commercial ever.
50 seconds in to this ad, that would be my old billy-cart, from back in the 70's at Broken Hill. Good to see her still running. My helmet too! Some of my mates would remember tearin' around the house on this. Lotta fun.
100k for a 430kw Australian built full size performance car is not over priced at all. Infact its bang for buck when you compare it to the rest of the crap on the market. People talk up imports like their worth it when the labor costs of building them are half of what HSV's are and yet their nearly twice the price of Australian Built. But the funny thing is the people actually buy that crap. I support HSV, and im a Ford guy. Nothing beats something that's manufactured in our home soil.
Again i don't think you get the point. Labor costs of manufacturing in Australia are more then your average American or Japanse wages. Hence the price tag. Business people are not car people, if they are happy driving a 2 litre Euro car around that's fine by me. This car is built for Australian Enthusiasts. People who appreciate a big car and the sound of a powerful V8 in a economy that's ruled by small cars. I would happy take this over a GTR simply because its built right here.
As an aussie i come across commodores occasionally and then you come across these i remember my favourite one, a midnight black ute with an exhausts to die for at a light you'd put your foot to the floor and the ecu would do the rest
After the announcement of no more commodore from Holden , i will enjoy mine for the rest of its days. Wont be sold and will keep her . Long live AUSTRALIAN built commodores/HSVs
Im not sure if you are have seen the VF Ute on the ring and you mean put the HSV on there too (if so I agree, and leave it behind to hire out!), but if you have not seen the videos search "vf nurburgring" and start at part 1.
Absolutely the best product that Holden has ever produced. My first car was an FJ and have had just about every model since. Holden lost its way with the Commodore and are now producing some Japanese thing that resembles a billy cart cut in half. This is Holden 2013--as Holden was in 1948. The leader
Is about the only car worthy of an upgrade from my VE SSV ute of 433rwhp. Ill take one delivered straight to Powertorque Engines! Where do I sign? Good on HSV for making a blown factory BEAST!

Not only is this the best ad in world but also the most inspiring
This ad gave me goosebumps!! Wow! Loving Australia, loving Holden!
This has to be the best ad ever made.
YYEEEEAAAAAAA !!!

Here goes a massive thumbs up from an HSV fan in Portugal! Put it on the Nurburgring guys!
Most spine chilling car ad I've seen. Wow! Beautiful.
Bloody hell its a commadore.are you sure. its that good its gone!,

I've been looking for this as since I seen it when i was 8 or 9 😍
As an owner of a Gen F R8 Clubsport - the car is epic !!!! Love this Ad , one of the best car ads ever made !!!
I have one too and i totally agree :)
Me too
Vf 2 clubby r8 lsa got one farkin epic car
How much?
@@Rexy888 you paying off?
Im a Ford guy, but this ad is brilliant! Good work HSV!
Great work HSV. Loved the E-Series, hoping to get behind the wheel of a Gen-F at some stage too!
From a Ford dude... My hat's off to you, the General. This is a nice motor vehicle.
I watch this add at least once a day... it is so addictive, it is so true... and when you hear the roar of the exhaust from the GTS... it always brings a smile to my face.
I have gone euro years ago. And this car is,going be the one to change that. I'm goin for,a test drive with my wife ASAP. Good job Holden.
hope you didnt buy one...hated mine...sold it after 12mths and bought an actual performance car.
Holden's advertising is brilliant at the moment. Very high quality, well done.
I usually skip RUclips ads but I actually watched and enjoyed this enough to look it up and watch it for the second time.
Could not agree more, HSV is the best car I have ever owned and each time I enter the car I am full of energy buzzing from the raw nature of this refined beast.
That's the best car add I have ever seen, and it's made right here. Incredible job Holden, proving once again you've got what it takes to be the best
You guys are selling me a life style to go with the car.
Well done HSV!!!
basically the best car ad of all time
I watched this ad hundred+ times when it came out. Desired a Heron white manual with black SV wheels. fortunate enough to say I've owned a Clubsport R8 SV in that colour combo for a couple of years now. Still love this ad!
The last serious commercial
Hsv has kept aussies happy for the last 50yrs
Always ! Love my GTS
Best car ad I've ever seen, makes me want one soo bad
I made my '84 Camira watch this, now It's a manual 5 litre SS.
Keep coming back to this :). Proud to own an HSV in the UK
Good work mate. Keeping the HSV name alive in the UK thanks
This video is more than an ad ... It makes me question my whole life!
10 years on and this is still one of the best commercials ever made 🤘🏼
this is the best ad i have ever seen and im hopeing to get the GTS maloo soon
THE BEST CAR AD FOR ALL TIME!!! Love it the first time I saw it on RUclips. The first video ad I did not dare stop playing. Want me to wanna buy the car (in due time). Congrats to the production people.
HSV I JUST WANT ONE
Still love my VS clubby, old but gold.
A crime that in 5 years we went from designing manufacturing selling these and ones like it to crickets.
All that talent wasted, why the government of the day cut the Automotive grants and killed Automotive manufacturing is a crime.
Should never be forgiven.
Today is day 2 of ownership of my very own GTS "I'm so in love"
Watching it in May 2024
i just bought the Maloo R8 ute 2016 manuel.
what a rush. Australia knows how to make a preforrmance car that will give you back your youth.
I hated mine...got rid of it after 12mths the thing just handled so bad...but realistically its just a commodore.
The best ad of 2013 by a long shot! I say that as someone who doesn't even drive a Holden (1993 Land Rover Defender and 2013 Toyota Hilux)...this made me want to go out and buy one. Props to the agency and creative behind this.
Damn that guy has an awesome voice. Perfect for this ad

Don’t think any nation beats a rich Aussie accent on tv 👊
We are the best
Damn good advertisement. great work HSV.
It will always be the greatest performance car ever built in Australia 💯
So true
holden knows what people want but no one realy baught them sadly :(
damn i miss holden
Awsome who ever says its not they are on something what a car great ad hsv I just got one
Does anyone know the name of that song?
The government killed the Aussie icon. Holden is the best car Australian has ever had.
I wish you guys were still making cars.
That would be a bloody good episode, love the new HSV!
Respect.
Even though this is just an advert, there is a lot of truth in it.
Top Add ! Whoever wrote that knows what many of us " car enthusiests " are thinking !
Makes me proud to own one :')
Absolutely Brilliant. The imagery, storyline and message strikes home. We could learn a lot from the Australians. God bless em'.....
This is the greatest summary of car enthusiasm I have ever seen. SOMEONE GET THESE PEOPLE SOME DAMN OSCARS ALREADY!
An ad I actually enjoyed and agreed with. Way to go Holden. One day I will buy this car.
Thanks for the info that you sent me, very enlightening and it is very appreciated, again, many thanks.

Awesome ad. Awesome message. Funny pronunciation of the word "appreciate".
Makes me sad that my kids won’t experience the feel of buying a new HSV,my youngest loves our Vf!
Such a good ad!
I cant wait to get my first HSV. My parents have a Clubsport R8 Black Edition and it is sick as. Love going for drives in it.
If your talking about the Thunderstruck ad, 'll take that as a massive compliment. I wrote this spot and that one over 10 years ago. Cheers.

Best advert so true !
first ad on you tube that was searched up to watch again.
11 years later, still an awesome car
Absolutely fantastic commercial !
RIP HSV.
Thanks for making Holden's more fun. And Aussie cars even better.
The 'I just want one' slogan has never been more spot on. Now to convince the pregnant missus that the GTS is the perfect "family" car...
im proud to have one!
Not even born in Australia, but holden is no more hurts me really bad😭
I have plenty of GTS vids to check out if you miss holdens lots
I wish we got car ads like that in the US. I wish we had that car in the US, too.
you have a cts-v . this would cost $80000 in America
Dodge ads are similar
Top ad. so much truth.
I agree me and my friends. You could even say it feltus
As an aussie i come across commodores occasionally and then you come across these i remember my favourite one, a midnight black ute with an exhausts to die for at a light you'd put your foot to the floor and the ecu would do the rest
ive just got one got one.....
lmao, the bit where they fast forward through 'boring' cars at the intersection, you can briefly see a gtr
crankCINEMA That's what happens when you drive a HSV GTS you only briefly see other cars.
Fuck I love the sound of these bad boys, I miss them already
One of the BEST COMMERCIALS ! ...EVER!!!
i must admit, the VF has grown on me a lot!! a lot more than i expected!
I JUST WANT ONE!!! ahah
I love the front end of the car, it looks mean.
After the announcement of no more commodore from Holden , i will enjoy mine for the rest of its days. Wont be sold and will keep her . Long live AUSTRALIAN built commodores/HSVs
I just want one! Awesome advert for an awesome car!
can't like this enough times. i agree this is on par with the intro to forza 4. such a great message to be heard!
Cheers!
Does anybody know the name of the song/music?
It's actually a library track Michael, called "Threatening"
Can you upload the song mate?
I have searched everywhere.Could you please supply a link
Holden could've made a Monaro coupe and an Adventra crossover SUV to boost Commodore variants.
This add still gives me goosebumps lol
F*CK YEAH I WANT ONE !!!
Ford or Holden it doesn't matter. This ad tells it what it's like to be an enthusiast.
a quarter million views! Should have a millions more than that!
Well done!
Awesome! If only you could have the whole AD run for the full effect
This ad is amazing! i just want one!
Im not sure if you are have seen the VF Ute on the ring and you mean put the HSV on there too (if so I agree, and leave it behind to hire out!), but if you have not seen the videos search "vf nurburgring" and start at part 1.
Ooh this made me think about the 2005 Monaro add
Just brilliant
Like the slogan "I just want one"
Absolutely the best product that Holden has ever produced.
My first car was an FJ and have had just about every model since.
Holden lost its way with the Commodore and are now producing some Japanese
thing that resembles a billy cart cut in half.
This is Holden 2013--as Holden was in 1948.
The leader
best ad ever, not a debate.
Brilliant Commercial!
Holden, Pls come to America ! We love you here !
Is about the only car worthy of an upgrade from my VE SSV ute of 433rwhp. Ill take one delivered straight to Powertorque Engines! Where do I sign?
Good on HSV for making a blown factory BEAST!
