Audi Promotes A4 With Unknown Element

audi_a4_viral.jpg

To support the launch of it's overpriced Volkswagen Jetta...uh...we mean Audi A4, the car manufacturer has dumped 40 percent of its online marketing budget into a viral clip that involves the rare, fictitious element, VdT, and how it is the secret element inside every Audi. We're always reassured when we have no idea how are cars are made. Unfortunately, the virus hasn't made it to Adrants headquarters.

amazing how similar that sounds to the usage of "turbonium" for the VW Bug turbo launch

hacks with no new ideas

Overpriced as it may be... new Audi A4 and the new Volkswagen Jetta share next to nothing with exception of possibly a few fasteners. The A4 and the Passat previously shared a platform but that is no longer the case with the new A4

im sure the ad will show up on one of the vortex media group sites shortly if anyone is looking for it... try fourtitude.com

this is also not the first ad of this sort from audi... they also did this is 2004 for the Audi A3 Sportback

btw.. VdT = Vorsprung Durch Technik

I love Audi. Fantastic brand. I love all that "we're the Gods of Automotive technology stuff". Done with a little more humanity than their fellow Teutons @ BWM. They do however need some more hot chics in their ads. I'm sure Lord Steveness of Hall will agree.

yeah, hot chics and cars that work past the 80K mark.

The secret element was miss spelled. Instead of Vdt it was Std. Oh yehhh.....feel the burning sensation from all the virals that you've collected over the years. If Audi could make an ointment to get rid of this pain...they would make more money than selling cars.
