USA Today reviews commercials at the back of it's Money section. I think mondays edition covered the commercials saying that people overall were not that impressed with them. They generally didn't have strong opinions about them either way, they just didn't think about them much. For some reason they were working for mid-westerners and affluent men. Audi said " that's our target" or something like that.<p>I have CNBC on as background for probably 2 or 3 hours a day and the repetition of commercials forces me to have the remote handy. The A8 one with the crash test dummies singing Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" was okay for the first 50 times,but is now wearing me out. I think the A6 shot is okay , but the A4 is alittle dumb.<p>Bill Shaffer

I have tapes of most of the Audi commercials and they will be digitized soon. They would be done already, but the person that is converting them for me fits them in duriing their down time, but they havn't had any lately. I'm going to bug them this week see if they can get them done.<p>Matt

Note they do not say "all" AWDs --they just need to find one group that is worse
