Hmm, not sure how I feel about this? Sure, I think the stereotypes are funny (and somewhat true, too), but as a viewer/potential customer, I walk away thinking of Audi as ho-hum, joe-schmoe-ish, and average. The narrator is boring, and while his relatives in competing marquees are all weirdos, it doesn't make me think less of those brands or think more highly of Audis. And I'm saying this as an Audi fan, though I think the A4 is a bit plain. To that end, I guess the car fits the narrator. By the way, I've been guilty guilty of blaring techno in my BMW on more than one occasion. I guess I helped to inspire that particular stereotype. But what image is Audi trying to portray here? Normalcy? Mediocrity?

Cute. I'd like to see the rest of the installments.

CBOTGuy, I think that the Lexus in this add comes off as dull, plain, mediocre, rather than the Audi. Louis's family is another matter, however - wimpy husband, nagging wife, scary twin daughters. LOL

this is really freakin' funny. stereotypes exist for a reason...

bmw drivers aggressive (yes, i am on of those).
mercedes drives arrogant.
lexus drivers wimpy.

my favorites are the bmw running the pious (i mean prius) off the road and the whipped lexus driver. too funny.

Funny how they didnt put infiniti or nissan in to that. in my opinion the 350z g35c/g37 will whoop audis ass while looking good (though im not to Not to crazy on looks of the new g37)

I have a g35 as of now and it goes back in march some of you may know this some not. My next car as much as I want it to be an a5 or possible an s5 (money isnt the deciding factor but paying too much and not getting anything in return is the factor)i just dont see getting the audi. As much as I love the look and what they are doing you just dont get what you pay for. More and more the 335i coupe is the standout. As much as i try to say but the looks but the inerior and make excuses for audi my brain and performace side say BMW. Finally lets be serious they put an s class in the ad with an A4 give me a break.
