RE: Audi Super Bowl Commercial
+1 TDN. People who have the money to buy an R8 will get the Godfather alliteration. If you're trying to build a brand, you've got to use your biggest weapons to hit the public hard off the bat. When the R8 is publicised (as in this commercial), the obvious tactic is to insinuate that the technology at use in the R8 will be put to use in the more pragmatic models of the Audi line... hence, truth in engineering.

I'm not entirely convinced it's not a Merc but i could be wrong. I didn't think Bentley ever had a hood emblem on there cars, but I'm not real familiar with there history.

Bogie: " The admight get people into the Audi showrooms, but it won't stop most of the dealerships from be a$$holes in general."
I daresay that anyone coming in to buy an R8 though will receive stellar service throughout the life of their ownership for a few reasons. First off, anyone with the brick o' benjamins to buy one probably is fairly known and influential in their city, and the last thing the dealer wants is bad press from someone that people know and listen to. They also don't want to watch well over $100k walk out the door because of some idiot salesman who doesn't understand tact (that customer will likely deal with either the sales manager or the dealership owner himself). Finally, after the sale, chances are they don't want to **** off that R8 owner, because they'll stand to make a fortune on service appointments. Seriously - you think it costs a lot to have an S4 worked on? Imagine the bill on an R8's timing belt service. Again, on the after-sale treatment, they don't want that well-heeled and influential customer talking to his rich buddies and telling them how he loves the car, but the dealership he bought it at is staffed by asshats.

I think it is a great add. If you realize that it is an allusion to the Godfather and the fact that an old Merc grill is used as the figurative "horses head", then you can make the connection through the fact that it is the V12TDI, that Audi is making a statement about diesel in general also and how it is going to be the future of luxury and performance, personally I love the commercial. Also the R8 TDI is pure sex

Actually, thats a great car to advertise.. the ad is more for the symbol, knowledge capabilities of Audi as a whole, not simply for the r8. Most people who see that ad can't afford an r8 anyhow, but that won't stop everyone from owning an Audi. Now, whether the ad in of itself is any good is another question.
Oh.. and the car sounds sick!

Kinda stupid advertising a car that the countrys only going to get 200 of this year. Theyre usually sold before they get to the dealer anyway. Maybe theyre hoping people will mistake an s5 for that and buy one.
