Not even the best Audi commercial, much less car commercial. The kid seems like a tool, IMO.

I liked it - & hey 'studios' - the truth be known (if honesty holds any sway) some of us were kind of 'dorky' at the high school grad dance.

Well, most of you guys are too young to remember the Sunoco gasoline commercial that starts off with a really bad sounding, knocking, rattling clunker and the announcer says "If you use Sunoco gasoline, your car will sound like this....." and the scene switches to Mark Donahue shifting the Penske Camaro at about 7000 RPM at Riverside raceway and the camera is on the floor looking up at the driver! I have looked but have never found a You Tube video.....

Yes I agree.

And while we're on the subject - the thrust of my post was current TV commercials.....of which the Audi/prom one is.

I realize there are a LOT of great car commercials but what about the ones that are on TV right now?

Not funny, but this is the best Porsche commercial ever. I'm surprised they haven't stuck with their "engineered for magic, every day" theme... it's so perfect
