new audi commercial

[Rave Racer]

    I have to agree, with both on the other two commercials.  I say a 5 on
the Pizza one, and a 6 on the cop one.  They just aren't striking adds.
    Sorry guys.  My fave is still the 20 years of Quattro with Michele
Mouton.  Great then, Great now.  It says everything that Quattro is about
and still remains subtle, not trying to sell anything specific.  At the same
time it is still exciting showing some great race footage.  That's the only
10 I've seen yet.

The ad begins with the guy hanging up on the phone after saying "ok
understood, cash only". so it makes us think he's about to pay ransom to
the shady character...instead he just happen to be standing there and the
main character was paying pizza (cash only).

I agree with Brett...5/10.

I've seen another new Audi A4 ad, this one a woman driving on the highway
and there's a cop car following her. She was scared because she thought he
was gonna stop her or something. But then the cop drove past her and she
breathed a sigh of relief...but then the cop slowed down again to get a
second look at the car while thinking "nice car".

Another 5/10....

I like the German A4 ad better which promotes the multitronic...
