Re: TT "Sighting" - Audi Avus confusion

["Thomas, Nathan" <nthomas@imps0014.us.dg.com>]

I saw an add for the new Audi A6 the other night and they were
flashing shots of all their previous cars driving around, and one
of them was the Avus.  I thought it was a little deceptive of
them to show a non-production car as a sign of their great 
automobiles, but whatever.  I can't remember very clearly, but
it seemed to me that in the shot the Avus was driving along...I
guess it could have been faked though.  Anyone else seen this
ad?  (Actually, putting the Avus in reminds me of Nissan's ads with
'Mr. K' driving a 300Z after the 300Z was discontinued!)
