Default Audi's latest ads...play on bland styling?

Judge for yourself:

Interesting concept, though not particularly intriguing or informative. Seems to me that Audi is almost acknowledging the bland styling of the A8 by saying, "Greatness should never be overlooked."

I agree that Greatness should never be overlooked.


So, what's so great about the A8?

i think it's more for brand recognition than styling. in general, people in the US dont know about audis. outside of the US, it's "OMG its an audi!"
in the US it's "whats an audi?"
