Reminds me of when Honda wanted to separate themselves from the nasty bikers by saying, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda." Sorry, guys. I'll stick to my Road King.

I can't seem to find it again. Anyway, it clearly showed the second car through the puddle as a BMW.

Just go to "Let me Google that for you.com" here: LMGTFY.com

Type in what you want to find, then copy the link. Easy, breezy.

of all the German brands I find that BMW have the most varied owner profile.
Sometimes I see the preppy guy, other times the pimply faced spikey hair guy whose last car was low-riding Civic with the giant exhaust, other times it might be the Joey Bag-o-donuts guy (typically a white car with a ribbon on the dash) and sometimes the hip hop rapper guy with bling wheels aka 'rims'.

Whereas the typical Audi driver seems to be the guy or gal who upgraded from a Subaru, has a little dog, hits the Starbucks every morning and shops at Whole Foods. A slightly younger version of the eventual new Porsche or Range Rover buyer.

The you have the Bentley/Rolls driver. They're too rich to care how they look unless another rich guy comes along with a newer B/R car.

I think it's a great commercial, I would hope most people could take it as a funny joke on BMW drivers.

I love when there is a guy talking to a girl beside my car. I always walk up and ask wow! That is a nice car you have! If they fall for the trap it can be an interesting five minutes before I pull the keys out and drive away :)

I have a 300Ci as my "second" car, and I can assure you that I would not have driven through that puddle..







I would have found a different puddle with people in wheelchairs nearby and run through that one.

Another thing that is interesting about that commercial is that it seems to alienate a large segment of car owners (BMW owners to be specific) who are pretty highly likely to cross shop an Audi when it comes time to look for a new car.

Can't stereotype cars. It just doesn't work. I had a 2001 Audi S4 Avant. I picked this one up in Munich in December 2011. Very nice highway car.
