New Audi ads, image, neon yellow A4?
Saw another new Audi print ad that I liked in 7/14 USA Today (full page):
"It's got that Audi new car smell. Burning asphalt."
I've got to give Audi credit for the media blitz they've underwritten. Audi
has hooked up with the NBA Seattle Supersonics and advertises *constantly*
on the flagship station (even in the off season). Then, of course, there
are all of the TV ads and the new multimedia TT promo on the audi.com
website. Downloaded the desktop and screensaver. Pretty cool, but I'm
still kinda partial to the quattro gecko ss.
One thing all of this has done is to increase the number of questions from
friends and strangers about my '88 5ksq. "We're thinking about getting one
of those new A6's. What do you think of your Audi? How well does that AWD
work?"
Sadly, it doesn't seem to phase my younger brother w/ a similar vintage
Mercedes. I just tell him that I concede the leather seats and whatnot.
He'll need the comfort as he sits in a snow-filled Seattle Winter ditch.
Final note: Is neon yellow a stock A4 color? Saw something A4-looking and
blindingly yellow coming at me on the hwy today. The only thing I
definitely saw were the 4 rings.
