Understated/delicate hints are so much more effective.
Audi has really let their styling que's and car and driver test results get to their head. They seem to think they are all the sudden "Better" than everyone. Haha, just ask a female what they like about the new Audi's: "O I love the lights!!"
"Hey guys lets base our adds off of 3rd party comparison test and our fucking tight ass daytime run lights!!!"
Its almost like bragging after being complimented. Think about it, a girl says you look good or something to that extent (whatever)... You proceed to go tell everyone that that individual thinks your shirt is da bomb and that she wants you in bed. If you're that guy, you are probably a total tool/douche bag. Its all just so arrogant and egotistical. (bare with me on that analogy)
As to the individual who talked about the BMW holiday Bow ad.. See that is exactly how it should be... Its subtle. BMW doesnt raise their middle finger to Lexus.
