Those things are not cheap. How can a woman be so unhappy if she can afford one?

[Tax-chick]

I’ve never understood the concept of “making statements” with cars. What a waste of money.

[rlmorel]

That commercial set me off...I watched it for about 10 seconds, and involuntarily spit out “What a bunch of B******t!

My friends know me well, didn’t surprise them.

[Tennessee Nana]

what’s that suppose to mean ???

[Mr. Douglas]

The ad is sexist. Raw, unadulterated sexism.

[Dr. Pritchett]

I was watching the game at a work function in mixed company. It was very awkward.

[Ann Archy]

If women quit KILLING their own babies, they would be respected more.

And Audi cheated on its EPA fuel economy testing.

It’s actually pretty sneaker. The target audience of this ad is the Murhy Browns of our culture. They have made it, but feel they had to work harder than all those lazy male peers that didn’t have to work for it. It satisfies their “chip”.

i.e. the ad isn’t educating them. It is agreeing with them.

This is my ride.You wouldn't believe what a chick magnet it is!

[polymuser]

“What do I tell my daughter?”

“Oh, wait, she was aborted. Never mind.”

[fivecatsandadog]

Making a statement drives the auto industry and sells cars. Ego and pride sucks it up and lays down the $$$. If that were false everyone would still be on a horse pulling a wagon.

[central_va]

What does he tell her?

Make me a sammich.

[reg45]

Don’t buy an Audi, buy a (Hyundai) Genesis.

[Hardastarboard]

And if you think those women are unhappy now, wait until they buy an Audi and find out about the quality control problems they’ve been having,

I eat Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream despite the fact ..

Then you're helping finance the enemy, Prager.

Rationalize it however you will, but that fact remains.

While it's certainly difficult to be 'boycott pure' in today's economy, trumpeting your collaboration only encourages others to cave.

I’d rather have a Taurus SHO. But that’s just me.
