Progress is in every decision we make, every technology we invent, every vehicle we build. It’s our past, our future, our reason to exist. Audi of America is committed to equal pay for equal work. A 2016 report by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee found that women were paid 21% less than men on average.*

Here is the actual Leftist commercial
I am a straight man. Therefore, an Audi wasn’t in my future anyway.
I will not be drinking this kool-aid.
It’s a good thing that women are married to men who make enough money to buy an Audi for them. If both are paid equally, they’ll be driving a Chevy or Ford.
The only car company that isn’t in bed with all manor of kooky Leftists is the Hyundai-Kia group. Not bad cars, but only a couple models remotely considered upscale.
FWIW, senior management at the Japanese companies just go along with Leftist BS because of US government pressure. Americans and Euros are true believers in cultural suicide.
They ride and drive great, but I’ve never known anyone who didnt have MAJOR problems out of warranty. Everyone loved it, but wouldn’t buy another.
Women are paid the same as men. They may not make as much overall as men, because they have children and often stay home.
Those are for regular jobs. In Hollywood it depends on how much of an audience you can attract, I imagine.
Audi and Subaru: Lesbo Limos.
It is against existing federal law to pay a woman less than a man for identical work. Each year there a few cases filed and heard, based on the facts. So what’s the beef.
Audi’s marketing department is pathetic.
I am a straight man. Therefore, an Audi wasn’t in my future anyway.

Commercials and half time muted and change the channel
A womans work is never done
Perhaps that explains the disparity
i never knew they were rabid left.
i guess that explains why audi of clearwater is just dead while the other dealerships in the area are thriving
Hard to imagine an ad agency walking into a corporation and pitching the idea that rather than put a commercial together that presents their product as being something of value that is better than its competitors, it instead takes the position that people will flock to that product if they believe the manufacturer is socially responsible. Something tells me that the ad agency thinks that SJWs are held in higher esteem than they really are by the average folks. I suspect this ad will fail spectacularly…..
Agree. Also have to factor in that when these ads were pitched and budgeted, the “smart money” were banking on a Hillary victory.
Would not be surprised if there are some more SJW-friendly ads tonight that will fall flat.
If you’re going to pay the $$$ for a Super Bowl ad, wouldn’t you want to create one that doesn’t tick off half (or more) of the viewing audience?
Go safe! Have an ad with “talking” kittens and puppies raving about your brand and products, imo.
I have a question. How would you possibly fit a soapbox derby car in that Audi? Or is it that if you can afford a $50,000 car, maybe the servants tow it home in their F-150.
This Kia Niro Super Bowl ad is much better. It’s actually funny as opposed to lecturing.
