I thought it was a bit weird but the car looked fantastic. Also good that it was early on the game. I don't watch commercials much as it is but definitely tune them out as the game goes on.

the commercial was a parody from 1st Godfather movie. It's based on horse-head scene. I liked it is was pretty good.

They did a good job with that, but the GS460 that did 10 or so donuts was pretty sweet too

That was a cool commercial. The way it took off out of the driveway was money.

very nice commercial! The scenes where they show the R8 remind me of old NSX commericals.

Yes, an interesting commercial (Super Bowl commercials always are; they are probably the most expensive commercials on TV) , but IMO, it failed on two counts. First, the commercial's title.......the so-called "Changing Face of Luxury"...... unfairly suggests that there is something "wrong" or "outdated" with big, heavy, quiet, soft-riding luxury cars like a Rolls Royce. In fact, there is NOT....that is nonsense. Second, it undermines the fact that Rolls-Royce itself is (or was) part of the VW/Audi corporate empire....so they were only making fun of themselves.
