I still love the Statham/Audi spot. The less than subtle crashing a MB and BMW, and ignoring a Lexus, classic. I just notice the Supercamry he avoids is wearing WA plates, too.

That Audi spot is great. I love the expression of disgust when he looks at the ES.
Fin - no grief for the damaged MB?

Not really. Could have just been a shined up heap, and either way, a 108 like that isn't particularly rare or valuable, and could have been fixed if one wanted. At worst, a waste of an old car, but it happens.

"Hyundai will be a major advertising presence at the 2013 Super Bowl, with five game-day ads, including several showcasing the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe."
Edmunds at Instagram.

People here in Northern Illinois will probably be rooting for Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers. Jim played for the Bears as quarterback when Mike Ditka was da coach. Remember Ditka reading out Jim at times upon apparent bad plays by Jim.

They've had good response in the past so no surprise to see them back for more.
Wonder if it will be just the Sport, or both?

Oh, just riffing on how the Patriot's defense apparently ran out of gas defending against the Ravens. Seemed to be a common comment about the game; really, a pretty common comment about a lot of games.
And Hyundai/Kia had a wee bit of trouble with the EPA recently when some of their mpg claims couldn't be verified. So if you coached to think you were going to get 40 mpg and then...well, you know. You'd run out of gas.
Too much of a stretch eh?

I'm pretty familiar with the Patriots, although I will never call myself a fan anymore. Last time in 1985.
Once Talib went out, the secondary had to switch responsibilities and Boldin was able to dominate.
Flacco was able to throw in the windy conditions better than Brady.
Other than that, I still confused.
