Audi seems intent on locking in that "arrogant Liberal" demographic.
Just your description of the commercial alone, is reason enough NOT to bu AUDI.
They always said: “AUDI...the poor man’s Mercedes”. Anyway, I’d never have one.
I am not the author, hence it’s not my description
The ad got me to listen to a lot of good ole Cheap Trick this week.
And that's the most chilling thing about it - that people would be willing to use force and violence against others for something like this.
The pro-ecofascism commercial made me want to buy a 1979 Suburban and drive it right over the green nazis.
BTT
The ad is not all that far-fetched.
I can see this happening one day in the near future.
Didnt they arrest a woman in England for showing a knife out the window to some thieves who were robbing her garage?
Think SECOND AMENDMENT!! Its there for a good reason.
And "THAT'S A COMPOST VIOLATION!" delivered from a helicopter at night is funny, regardless of how close it approaches to the truth.
I watched that Superbowl commercial in a room full of Democrat blue collars, many of whom voted for Obama and are now ‘not feeling the love’
There was some nervous laughter on the commercial - as you could see the smoke emitting from their ears as their brains kicked in yet again.
The Audi commercial made its goal. Everyone is talking about it.
Everybody is talking about not buying an Audi
Or better than a lot of people choose to admit.
It's interesting that so many people have decided the Audi driver is a "metrosexual", when you only see him in the commercial for less than a second, and he says absolutely nothing. Maybe it's his grin, knowing that he's fooled the Green Police?
Certainly the Green Police want their subjects to toe the line environmentally, but they also want their subjects to drive slow, boring microcars, like the Smart Car. They think the A3 must be that because, heck, all Diesels are slow, clattery, and they smell like an inner city bus. The driver knows better, though, as he floors it and heads for the open road.
As I said on the Steyn thread, this is a "these aren't the droids you're looking for" moment, and this guy has put one over on the storm troopers. No wonder he's smiling!
And, technically, it's not a "station wagon", it's a hatchback.
Audi is advertising automobiles, not philosophies.
Absolutely. And most of the people who swear that they would never own an Audi because of this commercial are people who would never consider owning one anyway.
What Audi it doing right is they are not on the Hybrid car route. I would not give you two cents for one of those cars. Audi builds some really fast diesel race cars. I will always have respect for their ability to design good products. They have some trouble with electronics but they build great cars that are really fun to drive. My VW bug was fun to drive in snow. I have never found a Japanese car I enjoy driving.
Provocative ad, but does any technical type out there happen to know if a “clean diesel” vehicle produces lower emissions than a state-of-the-art gasoline engine vehicle of comparable weight and performance? It kind of matters, the implication of the ad notwithstanding.
"Drop the gun, or I shoot!"
Oh, and to the guy who said "it's a poor man's Porsche," I say, "it's not your grandfather's Audi."
