Audi has just unveiled the complete version of its 2010 SuperBowl ad featuring the A3 TDI. The gist of the commercial is that the Green Police are out arresting regular folks doing regular things that are bad for the environment, like throwing out compost, using plastic bags for groceries or using incandescent light bulbs.

At a traffic stop to look for environmental offenders, the Green Police see an A3 TDI and let the driver go, while everyone else is stuck in traffic.

While we did get a chuckle over the Green Police pulling over the actual police at the end (and the Cheap Trick “Green Police” song is pretty darn catchy), this certainly isn’t up to Audi’s usual standards and the company’s green diesel diatribe is getting a little old. Who knows, the whole thing might backfire, with its Orwellian-like universe run by Al Gore. Yawn…

Audi Super Bowl Ad 2009

Jason Statham drives the new Audi A6

Well, it’s not as good as last year’s ad, but Audi’s 2009 Super Bowl ad is certainly worth a watch.

Jason Statham, known for piloting Audis in his roles in the different Transporter movies is escaping from some bad guys in the commercial. After no luck with an old Mercedes, and less luck with a BMW (which he steals from a pink polo-shirt wearing owner) he rolls his eyes at even the thought of driving a Lexus and luckily happens upon Audi’s new A6 and it’s supercharged V6 engine. The rest is, well… just watch the commercial.
