Yeah, I Googled it and saw the original. Makes Audi seem like the a** holes for stereotyping BMW owners in such a negative way, instead of giving any actual reasons for buying an Audi . Audis will automatically make you a better person? Mine didn't !

Timco is right

That was clearly a E36 in the original ad. I also had a Audi at one time...great car until it started to go downhill....when it did I got rid of it in less than 3 months

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.
