    Serves Audi right for dropping the ball and not renting that billboard in perpetuity... Who's running that dealership anyway?

    All's fair in love and war, I guess. Good placement of the ad for maximum aggressive effect.

    Also good play by McDonald's. Most A6/5-series intenders don't even think about cross-shopping a Big Mac, but when they do, they are always shocked by the value proposition: two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun... standard.
