Audi ad backfire
« on: March 29, 2017, 10:23:14 pm »
So I just saw an ad for Audi where the concept was that if artificial intelligence could dream it would dream of Audi cars -- which says to me if you are a cold, soulless, heartless, artificial person, you are the perfect Audi driver...

If I wasn't worried about FGC reliability and maintenance costs...

I do find Audis to be very cold and clinical. There's something about them that just puts me off.

In pictures I feel like I want one. Objectively great cars. Then I sit in one at the dealership and its just really lacking something.....I think its called soul.

So while the ad at least to me implies that Audi is bit soulless, I recently test-drove an A3 e-tron (one of only 2 entry lux 5-doors on the market) and loved the interior plus it had about 90% of the performance/fun factor of the C30.  I'm not really looking to replace the C30, but the moment my Dad is no longer well/flexible enough to get into the back seat I need 4 doors...  Other option is CT200h which is perhaps the best-built car I have ever driven, and with the F sport's optional black and burgundy leather interior has a freaking GORGEOUS cockpit, but totally lacks power to the point that it is frightening...

Absolutely +1.

My workplace in Germany was next to an Audi dealer, so I walked past it daily. Never went into it, nor felt that I'd desire one.
