the saab & polo ads are excellent, i love them. the e class 4-matic ad is PURE JUNK.

Hey the AUDI A4 and the BMW add were the most professional joke in add wars according to me.

Came across this one while surfing-

Worlds most expensive ad Video, Video clips, Featured videos: Rediff Videos

Fantastic execution. Don't know why it's named as worlds most expensive.

Well i know this ad may not be the best ad in the business but you cannot deny Jeremy Clarkson's indomitable sense of humor.

Possibly the best ad that VW never published

A new, extended version of the BMW "Jump for Joy" spot surfaced on YouTube. The new version does its best to lightly mock Audi, by calling BMW drivers and passengers a little more hip, and athletic.

As the company says, don't try this at home. But we are tempted to try jumping our bikes into the back a 5-series GT.

Watch the two-minute long video and let us know what you think below.

reviving an old thread. it's audi's turn to take on merc, bmw & lexus now.

Audi has launched a new ad campaign that takes jabs at Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes.

The first spot, dubbed Friendly Competition, says "...there's a winner and a loser, a runner up, second best, the one who fell a little bit short - our friends at BMW know exactly how this feels." It ends with the tagline "Audi has defeated BMW in three straight Car and Driver comparisons."

The second commercial, Spell, shows people in a daze talking about what they've been told to think about cars. Audi effectively says Lexus is "beige and predictable", Mercedes is a "hollow status symbol", and BMW is for poseurs. When an Audi drives by, the actors come out of their daze - the spell is broken.

Lovely ads from Audi. Especially loved the second ad. The Spell is broken! It truly is!

prateekm · 19th February 2010, 01:17

I would go for a Audi over the Merc and the Beemer, any day!

kaushik_s · 19th February 2010, 01:59

Out of all these I found the O RLY to be the best and funniest. Simple but very effective in the context. Had me in splits. Wish Audi has used that instead of that lame attempt.

aparth · 19th February 2010, 02:13

Ha ha, some of these advertisements really give a good laugh.

This is advertising at it's best!

But the best one are the BMW vs Audi and Volvo vs Saab.

Nice one! Some parts are made up it seems. Like the wheels going upwards w/o that much of inertia and all.

Here is another Ad-War slightly away from automobile field - in the sky!
Jet Airways: "WE'VE CHANGED"
Kingfisher: "WE MADE THEM CHANGE!!"
