I liked the very first a4 commercial with the bright yellow a4 at the gas
pump getting a fill-up from a woman in a bright yellow dress, thank you :)
The radio commercial they did was cute too("It's like being a kid with a
fistful of tickets at the amusement park.")

Sounds along the line of that Wolfsburg edition VW ad.  The VW ads are
particularly clever; I liked the "farm" commercial("Ye can see the gleam in
their daytime running lights...these are happy cars!  <MEEP MEEP>") and the
videogame commercial("Because in life, there is no little reset button.")

Actually, my favorite ad was the one with the eskimo teaching his son
various tracks.

(points to prints) "Bear!"
(walks over to another set) "Wolf!"(or some animal)
(walks over to a set of tire tracks) "Ahhh!  Audi Quattro!"

And then you see an a6 sitting in the snow and the pair walk up to it.

Not very PC towards eskimoes, but amusing.

The more recent one("germany's top 3 luxury cars") is very clever but
smells of an Acura commercial(music+all.)  Speaking of which, I like the
Acura commericals they've been doing for a while now...very tasteful(as
opposed to Billy-Bo-Bob's-Hyundai-Spectacular-Blowout-Barn commercials and
the Happy Happy Ford commercials["Oh how hApPy YoU hAvE mAdE mE" sung WAY
off key.])

A friend's father is considering a new lexus; I made sure he'll get a new
Audi broschure by adding him to their mailing list via the web site...maybe
he'll also get a spirited drive in Boomer...even better yet, arrange a
little test drive for him in an S6...he'll have so much fun he'll forget
all about his bloated toyota twin :)
