At least they showed a preference for German engineering, instead of hopping into to Lexus...

That was hilarious, he didn't even bother with the Lexus There was another commercial my friend showed me yesterday. It was a some guy in bed and he wakes up to find his cars front end cut off and in his bed. He screams and screams and they pan to the front of the house where an Audi R8 is just leaving...

Audi is really kicking up their game, they (to me) always tended to be the quiet brand under Mercedes and BMW like Volvo and Saab. But their pushing to be up there! Which is cool.

It didn't even dawn on me until I read this that they really were snubbing the Lexus. That's funny. It's nice to see they have a sense of humor.
