Post Speaking of posers, see the new Audi commercial?

Just saw a new Audi commercial...

Two guys carrying briefcases in a nice neighborhood both walk to their cars in the driveway and get in. The audi driver buckles up, checks the mirror, backs out and drives off. The BMW owner gets in, buckles up, turns the mirror so he can see himself and then starts adjusting his hair!

Commercial ends with, Are you an Audi driver?

Nice slam Audi...

I think that commercial is great! It seems like the VW, Audi and Porsche commercials have been really good in the last few years. Great marketing!!

My favorite is the Mercedes ML320 commercial where the couple jogs out to their car and says "okay, you ready?" to each other and they both hop in the ML, pull out of the driveway and not 50 feet down the road they park in front of the gym, hop out and head inside. If anything, that would make me not want to own an ML.

I think it's the one where an old guy doing a Rip Van Winkle, just woke up after 40 years kind of thing, wakes up and gets into a 550 Spyder for a drive in the country. As he passes an intersection, a guy in a Boxster arrives, sees the 550 and tears off after it. They cruise together for a second, give each other the eye, the thumbs up (I think) and then carry on.

Quite cool.

Yes, Craig has it right.

It's a funny moment when the two drivers see each other. They are each rubbernecking to see the other's car. One guy say "Holy!" and then the other guy mutters "Schmoley!..."

The tagline goes: "The Boxster - what a Porsche has always been."

Someone, somewhere, has a link to this commercial on the Web...

See, Boxster drivers do care about other Porsches. We're not all disconnected, stuck-up or boors.

Save the flash!

I have a new Boxster, used to own a 00 328i, unlike the one in the Audi commercial mine was loaded and mildly hooked up. If that was me getting out of my driveway with an Audi friend across my lawn, I'd go race and spank his *** to get to work first every day.

Unfortunatly my buddie has an 01 s4, it isn't as fast as Audi claims it to be, specially on the hightway, but it isn't as easy to beat as a regular A4.

:-(

BMW drivers do not look at themselve in the mirror out in Boston.
