Audi Calls NSX "VaporWare"
Iron Man gave up his trademark R8 for an Acura NSX droptop in The Avengers, and it looks like Audi feels bitter about it. Why else would they diss the fictional character's ride on Twitter?
Ignoring the fact that Tony Stark may be switching to Bugatti for Iron Man 3, The official @Audi account wrote this tweet today.
It's ironic then that Tony Stark gave up this -http://twitpic.com/a1wtre - for vaporware.#WantAnR8
It looks like Audi got the idea from car tester Dan Edmunds, retweeting a similar tweet from him before composing their own.For any other company we'd say that this tweet would be taken down in no time. Audi has a history of feisty advertising, though, having gotten into a billboard war with BMW back in 2009. Maybe this insult won't get deleted in a bit of corporate whitewashing.

Movie producers and manufactures reap advertising bucks and scam the public.
The actors are also in it for Big BUCKs and if you think having an NSX over a RD8 is anything to do with the actor or how great a car is ... remember what Will Rodgers said in 1920's ...
"Advertising is the Art of selling something to someone who does not really need it nor can often afford it".
