The issue is not the Ford GT. I like the car and respect it for what it is. But I did not like the commercial.

I like the car, it is nice and all but I would not pay that much $ for a FORD. It would have to be an Italian car for me if I were putting that much money into it. And about the commercial, it was kinda a wayste of Fords money to advertise that car. Do they think someone will see that commercial and just jump up run to the dealership and drop $300K on a new car.
