I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed the glaring grammar error in the latest Mercedes ad:

Obviously, Audi owners are smart enough to notice these things!:)

I'm certain it was intentionally written in a tongue-in-cheek kind of colloquial way to make the point; a wrong-on-purpose kind of goof. You can debate whether it's good copy, but it wasn't a mistake.

For the record, I don't care for the new Audi A8 ads that feature pointless analogies to priceless sports collectibles and art.

They may have done it on purpose, but it's still like fingernails on a blackboard every time I hear it.

And I agree with you -- I'm not at all a fan of the A8 commercials.
