Ok Audi, we need to talk.
You're a luxury German-engineered brand. That's what Autobahn USA is all about. We love you.
But these commercials.
How do you expect us to drive if we're bawling like babies? First you made a commercial where, for a full agonizing minute, it looked like a lonely grandfather would be spending the holidays abandoned in his dark, snowed-in house. When his family arrived thanks to Audi Quattro, we were a puddle.
Now you do this?!
1) Another depressed old man. Why are you doing this to our feelings, Audi?
2) Reminding us that the United States has not been to the moon since the 1970's, and NASA's budget keeps getting slashed.
3) David Bowie. You used David Bowie's "Spaceman" for the soundtrack. It's like you opened up a wound just to rub salt in it.
Well, dear Boston area drivers, be sure to visit us and test drive some of our many luxury pre-owned vehicles. We'll be here, smiling wistfully, pretending we didn't just have our hearts shattered by a Super Bowl ad.
