Is this an A3 in this ad? Sure doesn't sound like one, and the interior looks like S4.

Default A3, but the interior isnt an A3 ZVW-352-540-S is castrol syntec.

that is the specified oil for all 2005 model year audis and newer... plus any longitudinally mounted 1.8T.

we dont even use dino oil anymore... just Agip 502.00 5w40.

Default M3's have air scramblers too....does it have the Diskombobulator or the Ziegenbobulator?

Ape said in the commercial that it doesnt sound like an A3 but like all tv movies and commercials they have car sounds on disc and they both thought the A3 interior wasn't an A3 interior.

Default It is an A3 and I know the interior is not an S4

In a few frames you can see red needles on the guages. The S4 needles are white.

I am a looser I know.

Honestly April, I though you were an expert. LOL (I am just joking!)
