Audi is the least recognized luxury brand from the major ones listed here (among gearheads obviously not the case, but among normal people Audi barely comes to mind). Audi has repeatedly run commercials that merely get people thinking about Audi when they think Merc or BMW because ... most people DONT. Its their attempt at relevance, thus the super-bowl commercial last year mentioning all the other brands in a relatively favorable light.
Audi just wants people to notice them.

Exactly right. When you are wanting to build a market position (without discounting cars to get it
) then you have a dig at the leaders when ever possible and in this case the market leader is BMW. But regardless of this particular ad the fact is that all the Audi cars mentioned in the ad are exceptionally good cars that at present are ahead of the competition.
