Audi Super Bowl ad

I can't believe no one has commented on this.

From the color of the oil, it must be a diesel involved.

It did not inspire one to buy a $100K sports car or raise any consumer interest in the brand. Frankly, it was a bit of a waste of effort.

Contrast that ad with a Ford superbowl ad of yesteryear . . . the introduction of the Ford GT

Oh very cool! I still wouldn't buy an R8, but the RS6 and 4 are super sexy!

I really like the new Audi's, ever since BMW decided to build ugly cars, Audi is the last bastion of old German conservative styling.

Oil burners would notice that difference but I think it was for the general public who would just see oil as motor oil.

Looks like a pseudo Rolls/Bentley "head". Apparently with long intervals between LOF's.

I think that R8 looks downright bad @$$ and sound it, too.

Perhaps this will get the attention of the Oil Burners?
