uh, i actually think it's pretty brilliant.
they are basically saying that you don't have to be a hippie / segway geek to be green - which i think is the new direction of the 'green' market; how can we adapt a great, beautiful product into a green product without sacrificing image, performance or beauty?
those clean diesels are sweet.

What's wrong with it? Seems to bring the message across pretty well?

at a time when we need to invest in public transportation more than even — they have the balls to put this out?
city commute, city commute, city commute, audi on an open country road? some how I don't think sitting in traffic is any more fun in that car.
- dude, they are a car company. it's their job.– nadanada

it's much worser that they aren't selling the A1's here. (in the states)
the new diesel are pretty good. high mpg's.
- They stopped making A1's years ago didn't they?– JerseyRaindog

It's a great ad. It makes people feel as though they can save the world without actually making any sacrifices. Hooray! Greenwash away the guilt!
Most companies seem to be capitalizing on creating an image of environmentalism instead of making actual improvements in their products.
- so true. it comes down to making those personal sacrifices. a tall order for many. me included.– prophet0NE

well i have an audi a3 and frankly it rocks....i really don't that we have to jam ourselves onto a run down bus, that is over priced and will get you to your destination late. And if we are all honest with ourselves no one likes the general public anyway..

OVERTAKING ON A CORNER ON A POSSIBLY BLIND INCLINE!!!
Might be "green" but tell that to the family of an oncoming driver after you've sent them through their windscreen!
- the markers showed overtaking strips when he overtook. and solid line when driving in the correct lane....– ephix1/2
  well spotted, still looks a well dodgy manoevre. Maybe not an illegal move, but looks a risky one– 23kon2/2

nothing against the actually car, I'm sure it's awesome.
my problem is that instead of attacking another car manufacturer — they went after public transportation and put a very negative spin on it. it just seems like a low blow (and misleading) — especially because the bus, bike, and segway are much more efficient ways to "do your part".
- but not nearly as cool– DeSiard

The commercial is fine. They went a little overboard on playing up the negative aspects but it achieves it's objective of relating the TDI as another green commuting solution. I think the punchline would have been just as effective without the negative spin though.
Still gonna get me one!

That is a great ad!
If you think the local governments are going to magically come up with billions to put rails down so trains can go out to the burbs, you are smoking crack.
I live in atlanta. there is NO WAY I could ride the bus to work, Its only 15 miles away and would take 3 hours.
Clean diesel is the future. Electric cars run off power plants that burn coal, not hopes and dreams.

it was a stupid commercial actually. of course we see what they're trying to convey and why, but I'm one of those people that find driving to work in a vehicle everyday more miserable than public transportation.
- at the same time, having to take a bus for 3 hours to get somewhere in this shithole is worse actually.– Point5

that's my point exactly. we need public transportation options more than ever, and this commercial isn't helping.
one person, one car is not a long-term solution — clean diesel or not.
- life in the carpool lane– version31/3
  not having this commercial doesn't help either.– ephix2/3
  one person/one car can eventually be perfectly OK, but will require new tech (fusion etc)– ribit3/3

I find it more tasteless how diesel is a dirty word stateside and how your fuel efficiencies have, overall, gone down since the 70s. But hey, I'm just another liberal pinko euro fag cocksucker.
- K, perhaps that fuel economy 'fact' was actually bullshit. I'm still going to be a dick about it though,– detritus
