IS300 on the track with a lot of other stickered cars, then a TT goes off into the gravel, etc? Is that an actual racing series (not necesserily actual race footage) or did they just pick out a bunch of competing makes and put stickers all over them?

Default I saw that tonight! What a load.

I wouldn't expect any less from a car division that steals all it's design cues from the competition. The IS looks like an E36 3 series, their big sedans look suspiciously similar to the Mercedes Benz S class land yachts.

The car didn't look race prepped, just an IS with hp adding stickers all over.

Default HAHA I saw that last night. Looks all fake to me. My brother thinks I'm an idiot for being into

cars as much as I am (he drives a seven year old Saturn), so whenever he sees something like that, he says, "That's probably faster than your Audi."

We were sitting there and I was laughing at the commercial how the hyped the IS and it's 'racing characteristics' (the IS goes from on the track with all the stickers and **** and other racing cars around and fades into a normal IS on the road with normal cars around). And then I see the TT spin off the track. I yelled, "Hey, there's a TT." Looks like my brother proved me wrong about how great Audis were - I mean, the only car to bite it was a TT (the best four wheel system in the commercial). He gave me the look like I'm full of it. Damned big brothers - he's the only one in the world that can belittle just by giving me that look.

Why the hell would a TT be tracked with an IS? I'm sure it's all faux.
