The latest ad from Audi stars a caretaker played by actor Michael Maino who serves as the spots "Keeper of the Stable" but instead of horses he watches over all the Audi cars.
"This is the one place you have the opportunity to access these particular and fierce creatures," Maino says. "This is the crucible... These cars don't care if you're chief executive officer, majority shareholder or master of all you survey. We only speak one language here -- speed."
With metaphors like a car on a football field, bees turning into bullets, highlight the skills a driver needs to maneuver an Audi as our caretaker dares drivers to take the plunge on their passions. "Please do me yourself and everyone else a favor and tell me this. Is this level of performance something you really want? Something you can truly appreciate? Or do you just want to want it? Because you're not test driving these cars my friend. They're test driving you."
