Audi’s Going to Have A ‘Goodnight’ This Super Bowl

There’s no “Green Police” controversy this time around with Audi’s Super Bowl marketing as the automaker’s unveiled aa new 60-second TV spot, which is dubbed as a prelude to its upcoming Super Bowl XLV advert and marks the fourth consecutive Big Game appearance for Audi.

Venables Bell & Partners is behind the wheel yet again for this effort titled “Goodnight,” which was inspired by Goodnight Moon, the 1947 children’s book by Margaret Wise Brown. It follows the same schematics of the original book while taking the viewer on a journey through an old-fashioned mansion draped with trite symbols of elder, snobby luxury. Audi claims its 2011 A8 flagship sedan is the most technologically-advanced vehicle the company has ever produced and serves as the pinnacle for the brand’s luxury lineup. We’ll leave that opinion for the people who actually drive it.
