Sorry haven't posted anything here for a while... if you watched the Superbowl, however long ago it was, you probably vaguely remember an Audi commercial starring Jason Statham (see below) where it's like The Transporter and he gets into a bunch of cars trying to get away from other people. If nothing else, Jason Statham is known as the action guy with a lot of cool if unrealistic driving scenes. Now if you notice, he gets first into a Mercedes-Benz, then later he jacks someone's BMW. Now, maybe it's me, but does it bother anyone else that he refuses to even get into the Lexus (the only Japanese car in the commercial)? Then gets into the Audi and gets away clean. I mean, maybe it wouldn't have been a big deal if it had been like a Peugeot or something (ok so it's a commercial in America, and Americans don't drive Peugeots, but you get my point), or even like a Volkswagon (ok, not really in the same "class" of cars, being more of an economy brand). Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but then I remember the quote, "Nothing goes into commercial advertising on accident." Audi doesn't like Lexus?
