I thought the end was pretty funny but the whole situation is not a laughing matter. maybe its from all the violence i've seen on TV that got me so desensitized. I'm sure this is gonna cause a lot of debate.

Ever post a thread in Car Talk that isn't pro-Audi?

Interesting ad. Like Audi or not, it's an ad that you don't soon forget. Nor the "Clean Diesel Technology". On those fronts, the ad arguably did it's job.

Stage 1 Audi S5
Pretty good ad and it will def. get them more media coverage. Remember when Abercrombie made thongs for kids and had a T that read "two wongs dont make a white?" Marketing genious

I liked the window part at the end.

Controversial? Yes.....
But what it does not show is the dude getting some guns and going postal on the people that made him want to do this..... Oh, for our Canadian friends

Ad should have ended with "Audi: the only thing that commits suicide is the car"

Lol, creative at least. But damn that guy must have been one patient dude! 17 gallon tank, idling at maybe .8 liters per hour... over 3 days in that garage and still alive!

I shoot people
true, my ex-client owns an ad agency, and he always told me that... positive or negative... if people are talking about the product, they've done their job.

I hate to admit it, but I was ROFL'ing at the end of the ad. That was another subtle safety point at the end--the windows don't close completely if there is something in the way.
The ad made its point.
