Perhaps like this ?
While I’m still thinking about the female stranger, the three
masked men storm out of the bank’s front door, which is now
billowing smoke. Their gym bags are bulging. The driver has
a broad grin on his face for a moment. My doors fl y open again,
my accelerator is slammed to the fl oor. My sensors tell me –
let’s get out of here ! Yet there’s a surprise in store right from
the fi rst set of tra c lights. My brakes do their job. We glide
smoothly up to the stop line. My surprise is however trumped
several times over by the expressions on the faces of my
passengers, who have now taken o their masks. Police sirens
wail. Getting louder. Getting nearer all the time. A police car
screeches purposefully through the red light and past us. A sol-
itary leaf fl oats over the asphalt, carried by the rush of air left
by the police car, before my accelerator is pressed gently again.
The driver was the fi rst to get over his surprise and notices that
the lights have since changed to green. Something went totally
wrong here. Or right, depending on your point of view. Appar-
ently I’m not the only one that remembered the woman’s words
that just this minute saved the men.
Fifteen minutes later we turn into a side street on the outskirts
of town. The houses are now more modern, the streets drier
and the faces of my occupants are a slightly healthier color.
The mood is relaxed when I come to rest a few moments later
in a car park with a lot of other cars that look the same as
I do. Four large rings adorn the building’s facade in which my
silhouette is refl ected. Relieved, I turn o my daytime running
lights, fi nally back home in the Audi Approved :plus Center.
My doors are thrown open, the four men get out and disappear
in various directions, clutching their gym bags. Test drive over,
I’d say. And what an extraordinary test drive it was. With
a bank robbery thrown in for good measure. No car chase,
though. And then this wonderful woman with sunglasses.
Watch all of the
commercials in the
campaign again here.
