Another Great Commercial

     The surprisingly strong reaction to my Greatest Car Commercial Ever post on Friday has led me to follow up with this one--thematically about as far removed as possible from that compellingly cheesy testament to 1980s boldness.

No, this particular commercial is less about boldness and mid-1980s bombast than it is about subtlety and wit. I love this ad not just because of what it says about the Audi A4, but how it skewers the competition in a delightfully sly, classically British way.

In fact, you could even view this ad as an indirect response to the Corvette ad.
