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.
"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."
I forgot to mention, I called him a “metro” because I have a visceral dislike of men who look like they never have to shave.
