    Audi "Chase" Super Bowl Commercial: The Full Version

    We previewed the 30-second version of this year's Audi Super Bowl commercial and now we have the full version, with Jason Statham piloting luxury sedans through four decades below.


    1970s: Mercedes Benz 280SE 4.5 v. Lincoln Mark V
    1980s: BMW 5-Series v. Pontiac Trans Am
    1990s: Lexus ES v. GMC Suburban
    2000s: Audi S6 v. Buell Ulysses


    This was certainly the direct-from-an-automaker ad with the highest production costs of Super Bowl XLIII, bringing out a popular action star and spending most of the time focusing on other luxury brands. Of course, they crashed a Lincoln into a Mercedes, threw a Bimmer through a billboard, scoffed at a Lexus ES (our favorite part) and then outrun some bikes in a "supercharged A6" before going... somewhere. The story is never fully explained but, honestly, isn't really the point. Enjoy.
