outclassed on the commericals

[Brett Dikeman <brett@pdikeman.ne.mediaone.net>]

Anyone noticed that Audi is being seriously outclassed on TV?

I caught myself drooling after watching one of the "love triangle" 
3-series commercials, and the MB commercials are damn good too, 
especially the brand new S-class commercial(though the car has kinda 
funky, too liberal a styling, for the people in the market for the S 
class cars, I think, but oh well.)

Meanwhile, the "zero to your heart" commercial just makes me want to 
heave(it was cute once.)  Audi has tried to bring back the "unfair 
advantage" commercial; it just isn't cutting the cheese vs. the 
3-series commercials, which feature really snazzy(and damn near 
-perfect-) cinematography, snazzy music, etc.  Something about the 
view from a lead car, showing the front of the Beemer...blurry 
pictures from a racetrack don't work for me(the one exception to this 
is when the a4 comes flying out of a curve slipping almost sideways; 
THAT got my attention :)


Does Audi use the same agency that VW has been here in the 
northeast/north america?  They've been making some kickass 
commercials too.  BTW, that Jetta "sync" commercial's music was done 
by a local guy here in the Boston area...it's literally launched his 
career into outer space...
