Sadly, a lot of modern-day car ads feel uninspired or flat out lazy. Put a handsome Hollywood dude in a suit and stand him somewhere in the vicinity of a car, put him behind the wheel for a brief second, use some flashy cutting and maybe some exploding lightbulbs, and you have a perfect to-formula car ad.

Here’s what we’ve got: a crop-circle-cutting man who seems desperate to make contact with intelligent lifeforms from beyond the stars.

Somewhere along the way, they wind up having so much fun racing one another through the cornfields that they just flat out give the aliens the cold shoulder so that they can race around their newly-formed crop circle track.
Does it make you want to buy a new Fiesta? Well, maybe, maybe not, but it’s arguably way more effective than another dull luxury ad.
