I'm very surprised that any self respecting man went and googled a picture of Justin Timberlake in a suit and put it on this forum.

Man card = revoked.

If I was JT, I wouldn't endorse the A1.

The R8, yes. The A1, no.

This is what I thought, but since the A1 is probably going to be some cute little hatch thing I guess this was well thought out.

I'm not sure this pic is actually a whole lot better ...


Side note: did Audi just skip the A2? Audi uses even numbers & BMW uses odd, except the A3, A5 and 6-series but those are more like nichy cars I think.

Oh boy they're about to start something, does this mean we will see Volvo getting Taylor Swift to promote the C30R next?

Or maybe he would compliment Audi's great looking curves and great set of headlight and the fabulous rear dimensions

Audi probably figured, hey if Miley Cyrus can be fondled while on a Harley why the heck not.

Audi needs to figure out a better way to get younger people into the showrooms. I am not saying he is horrible, but I think there are better celebrities

I personally don't care for beards either, but that's no reason not to give him the job. Heck, look at our own Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernacke.....he controls the country's money supply and interest rates.
