Re: TT "Sighting" - Audi Avus confusion

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!)

What was really funny about the nissan commercials of last year was, the 2
most popular commercials they had running stared cars that were no longer in
production!  They had the commercial of Mr. K in different locations with an
old 240Z, and the other commercial with the Ken doll driving the 300Z.  I
laughed out loud at poor Nissan who didn't have a sports car in production
that they could put in an ad (at least in America).  

As for the Avus, that was one of the most beautiful designs I have ever
seen...I hope they use it in more commercials and brochures in the
future....Actually, Audi needs to get back to work and produce the Spyder and
Avus, what a team that was.  When I saw that ad with the Avus going by, I
realized how much the TT looks like the Avus, just squished up!
