We as enthusiasts like cars that age gracefully, but I think the car manufacturers would actually prefer that you find their one-generation-old cars to look dated, so that you feel compelled to buy the new one.

I gotta hand it to Audi... I really didn't think they had much recourse after the slam BMW gave them but nicely done Audi!

But I honestly don't know where BMW goes from here... they can't go the HP wars route because Audi has that pesky RS6...

Would be cool if BMW answered with bringin the old M1 back to life. The concept car looked very good.

I predict that BMW will put up a picture of a M3 GT2, which will then get shot down by audi's billboard of the R15. Then BMW will put up a pic of the BMW Sauber F109, and this will go on forever. Hopefully, BMW's ad execs have realized this and will leave it alone.

BMW is over their head, Audi simply has more firepower right now.

Audi can just post a picture of ANY new car in their lineup and be nicer than a BMW. The new AUDI's are YEARS ahead in design of anybody else out there. They started with the R8, then S5 and now the whole lineup.

Don't get me wrong i LOVE BMW's to death, even working at a BMW dealership, but i'd take a new Audi over almost any current BMW model right now.

You have to see the original billboards that started this off and it will make sense
