Audis in movies

[Matt Daniels]

I happened to be channel surfing tonight and came across the Jean Claud
Van Damn movie, Double Team (with Dennis Rodman) on NBC and one of the
characters was driving a green A8. 

Mission:Impossible 2 has a TT Roadster & A8, In Dreams has a Cabriolet
it in (or I've heard), The Insider features an A4, and James Bond drove
a 100/200 Avant (I think that was the model) in The Living Daylights.

If your in Utah, the local transit authority (UTA) has a new commercial
that features a TT Roadster in it. Kind of a stupid concept for the
commercial (i.e. the lady on the bus gets to work quicker than her
co-worker in the TT, she's relaxed, he's stressed from traffic, etc.),
but the Roadster looks great.

Those are all the ones I can think of now.
