If you haven't seen Episode #1 before, watch it first. But Episode #2 is where they really get vicious.

I gotta admit though, these are pretty funny.

P.S. Hopefully everyone here knows what Laguna Seca really is.

Great campaign. Thought the first one was funnier...

Blake · 10-24-2008, 02:11 PM

episode 2

Well done Audi. I have said, if a car company compares its car to another name brand car, you know the other car is the class of the class. Maybe, that is why Ferrari doesn't talk much about anything except Ferrari. Maybe politicians should use this simple law of human nature.

mkoesel · 10-24-2008, 02:22 PM

I meant to ask this in my first post, but does anyone else notice that the M3 doesn't actually look like LSB? It looks more like Topaz or Mystic to me. Could be lighting I suppose.

Exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't appear light enough. His brother refers to it as "purple" and LG Blue has no purple tone at all. Details, details.

PLAYON · 10-24-2008, 03:02 PM

Episode 2 FTW. . .I was dying. . .Me being a BMW guy and my brother being an Audi guy the Beckers are incredibly funny. Great marketing. . .

Ferrari has commercials?

Ep.2 was a disappointment after a great start with Ep.1

jgorman13 · 10-25-2008, 12:00 PM

ok obviously it wasnt LSB. But it goes with the joke, so its fine lol. I liked episode 1 better. This seems more of a direct attack on BMW, which is fine and all, but nothing beat the old man in the first episode in the S500.

And dont give me that "if a car compares itself, the other car is the class marque." Because if anyone here in the states have seen BMW 3-series commercials, they almost always compare it to other cars, even include them in the commercials as well. Just not as funny (that BMW narrator is quite monotonous after a while)

Exactly. This one was pretty lame. First one was a classic. Next one better be really good or the campaign will go the way of Micro$oft's last big misadventure....

Blake · 10-25-2008, 12:17 PM

yea, audi loves to talk about other people. i like bmw's approach...talking without ever saying a word...

stickypaws · 10-25-2008, 12:25 PM

Yeah, they've always been silently clever.

interesting.

Archon · 10-25-2008, 01:11 PM

Woah, how stupid is Audi's marketing department?

It's one thing to compare specifics (Power, legroom, MPG, etc) but it's another to play up stereotypes.

Shame on you Audi, very low and no class at all.

They are funny.....but not smart or socially responsible.

imo

AMJ_77 · 10-25-2008, 01:32 PM

that audi is butt ugly....

nusevad · 10-25-2008, 01:49 PM

lol that was funny.

monsta · 10-25-2008, 02:01 PM

good laugh!

rzm3 · 10-25-2008, 02:12 PM

what a waste of money

PrometheusM3 · 10-25-2008, 03:13 PM

It would have been funny if the M3 were actually LSB, and/or LSB actually looks purple.

Given that neither is the case, Audi just looks dumb. Really dumb.
