"Auto Makers Find They Don't Want to Avoid Collisions in Movies"
"...Audi credits its change of heart in part to last year's $215 million "MI2". An Audi TT roadster was totaled in the movie, but it's appearance added momentum to the car's U.S. launch. Similarly, a destructive scene in "Ronin" - this time, an Audi sideswiped the bad guys' car, pushing it into a crowded cafe - piqued interest in the company's S8 sedan, which wasn't even sold in the U.S. at the time."

Movies and image are one thing, car design is another... the M3/M5 backs up
the "image" with world's best performance sedan (if you can afford it). Hate to say it, but Audi is still a pretender in that sense. Come on guys, if Audi we're truely listening to us, we'd at least have a 6-speed, 225HP, alloy block, 2 door, 1.8QTM coupe. And without those hideous lower body panels.
