Audi wants you to know that its customers are normal people just like you and I, and it's created a series of shorts to prove this point. But instead of showing moms and dads driving their kids to soccer games in a Q7 or going through the McDonalds drive-thru to pick up some chicken nuggets in an A4, the German automaker took a more comedic tack. Before you roll your eyes and scroll down to the next post, trust us on this one, it is absolutely priceless.
After the jump is a three-and-a-half-minute video called "Meet the Beckers" that chronicles a couple driving to the family home (mansion) for a reunion. They seem normal and even likable. The video also shows other members of the Becker clan heading to the reunion, but they're driving a BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus RX350. Instead of pointing out the virtues of Audi vs. the competition, the four-ringed automaker hammers home the long standing stereotypes associated with the other players in the luxury market. The creepy couple in the BMW convertible cuts off a Prius and the driver has a Bluetooth headset on his ear. The Mercedes owner is an old man with a hot young bride, and he he drives away with the wipers going and his blinker on. The Lexus owners are yuppies with twins who appear to have a devil-worship problem. This is laugh till you cry stuff, folks, and an absolute must watch.

How is this supposed to encourage people to buy an Audi? If anything, it makes me want to buy an S550 or an M3 to show that I don't fit into the stereotype.

Well, what use is an M3?
For the price, there are far better dedicated sports cars not built on a compact sedan chassis. And you could also choose to get a 5 series which is a far superior sedan.
Why spend so much money on something that isn't, relatively speaking, very good at anything?

It's a clever marketing idea but why use what looks like a A4 Premium when an A4 Prestige S-Line would have really looked like a nicer car?
So when people go look at $34k A4s they don't get disappointed?

Ha I thought it was pretty clever, but they should of used an S4 or A5/S5. Kinda reminds me of the Audi A4 billboard where they said "your move BMW" and then BMW responds with an Ad featuring the M3 that says "checkmate."
