Audi A4 - From Passat and Back
11 Jan 2010 | 3:25 pmThis is a guest post by Matthew C. Keegan.... Sometimes an automaker will introduce a vehicle based upon the platform of a "lesser" model. Typically, this plan is employed when costs need to be cut to realize real savings. The theory is that the shared platform can be tweaked enough to distinguish the upscale model from the ordinary one. Add in leather, a taut suspension, and upgraded powerplant options and you can probably pull it off. For Audi, the introduction of the all-new Audi A4 during the mid1990s allowed the German automaker to capitalize on the success of the Volkswagen… -

Help! It's the Green Police!
8 Feb 2010 | 9:31 pmThe best Super Bowl commercial had to be the Green Police from Audi. I also completely agree with Debbie Schlussel that the premise is real enough to be scary.

Audi Shows Green Police Super Bowl Commercial Before the Game
5 Feb 2010 | 8:14 amAudi is giving their Facebook fans the Green Police Super Bowl ad a bit early. The ad, which will be shown during Sunday’s game, features the Audi A3 TDI being praised by the Green Police during a “green crackdown.” The 60 second spot is actually a compilation of many of the other Green Police videos already shown. The fact that Audi is advertising the A3 TDI really speaks to the current economic climate, and I hope will help get diesel technology out to the masses. Here’s the video: Check out Audi’s Facebook fan page for some other Green Police videos and info. -
Audi Q5 Wins 2010 Off Road Award
4 Feb 2010 | 2:11 pm2010 Audi Q5 The readers of Off Road Magazine just voted the new Audi Q5 as best off-road SUV of the year. 25,000 readers of the magazine voted the Q5 in for the SUV category. Kind of surprising actually, I never considered the Q5 to be much of an off-roader. Off Road also voted the Audi Q7 into third place in the Luxury SUV category. “The Audi Q5 combines dynamics and sportiness with a highly variable interior. It’s an all-round talent for recreation and family. And in the long run, that’s what customers in this segment want,” noted Hans-Joachim Radde, Head of Marketing… -
Audi’s Green Police Campaign Ruffles Some Feathers
1 Feb 2010 | 3:45 pmAudi recently released a new advertising campaign centered around the “Green Police” – a fictional police force focusing on environmental concerns (see video below.) A clever campaign that quickly backfired when one blogger pointed out that the Green Police was an unofficial name given to a group that was affiliated with Nazi persecution called the Ordnungspolizei. They were given the name Green Police by some because of the green uniforms they wore. The term Ordnungspolizei, however, translates literally into “Order Police,” not Green Police. “Jeffrey… -

Take the Audi Q7 for example. It’s not a bad vehicle in any way, but just like every other SUV on the road, it’s a bit…mundane. That doesn’t mean you have to go out and buy a new car every couple of years though. Bored with your Q7? Hand it over to ABT for an energizing facelift and overall upgrade. Not only will it make you love your SUV again, but you’ll stand out from all the… -
Audi A1 Gets a Wasabi Green Interior
25 Jan 2010 | 8:00 amWasabi Green isn’t the first color that pops into my mind when thinking of what color I’d like my new interior, but Audi is offering it as an option in the new A1. They promise it won’t be over-the-top, however, and will be used “selectively to create accent, such as in details like seams.” Might look pretty good after all. Special colors, both on the interior and exterior, really help with the uniqueness and personality of a car and even help the owner feel more connected to their ride. Wasabi, in case you aren’t aware, is a Japanese type of horseradish…
