Audi makes fun of Lexus!

MB should poke at them more as well, since everything they make they rip off MB.

it would have been funny if they hit the Lexus and then had a line saying " do not attempt at home"

Great ad.

The self-parking Lexis is idiotic. I thought it was a spoof, but then Lexis kept running the commercial, so I guess they are serious.

The part they don't show, is that was as far as the Audi ever went. It had to be towed BACK into the shop for more repairs

The new Lexuses look great, IMO they are the best looking sedans nowadays, the MBs and BMWs look too similar and gimmicky in styling.

I'd still want a BMW for performance driving though, and an MB if I was looking for something between a Lexus and a BMW.

ALthough I just saw a new black C-class and it looked great, though not at all angles. I think the black hides all the weird lines better.

The interiors are cheap. The LS460/430's are nice inside but they drive like a Caddy. The little ES350's are cheap. I hate Lexus and Acura interiors.

I want to see that Lexus park in a space that's 18" longer than the vehicle..........like I do in NYC nearly every week.

Then I'll buy it.

They do it all the time, back up until you hit the car behind you...give it some more gas to get a bit more room...then pull forward until you hit the car in front of you...and repeat.

I want to see the Lexus auto-park in a space that's 18" larger than the vehicle.

As a driver of an A4 Quattro I didn't know that there was any other way to park.

If you are going to do it make it interesting. Do it between like a new Ferrari and M5. Don't miss!

I doubt they would take a risk like that it would only empower someone to crash the car deliberately to sue a big automaker.

And greasybenz...I like your Audi A4 youtube comment about Chinese drivers......
