Audi A8 says goodnight to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Audi revealed this week the new 60-second TVC for the Super Bowl and, as you are about to see, is getting right up in Mercedes' face. The spot, inspired by Goodnight Moon, the 1947 children’s book by Margaret Wise Brown, begins with a series of good nights to the old luxury represented by the Mercedes-Ben S-Class, to conclude to a good morning to the new 2011 Audi A8 flagship sedan. Audi's most technologically-advanced vehicle.

Scott Keogh, chief marketing officer, Audi of America said:
“Research shows that consumer impressions are based in nostalgia and formed at a very young age. In ‘Goodnight’ Audi taps into these memories to break through the nostalgia and re-establish what it means to achieve luxury. Today’s luxury consumer exists in a world where status is no longer solely defined by tradition, but increasingly by their entrepreneurial accomplishments. As a result, they are seeking out new and more evolved luxury symbols that make them stand out from the crowd.”

Let's see if Mercedes will answer.
