It's official: after
General Motors gave up its place in the batter's box, Audi has become "The official luxury vehicle of the New York Yankees." For you regular Yankee fans, not much will change, except seeing the Audi logo when you look up at the H&R Block Suite Level and happen upon Audi cars in the Babe Ruth Plaza on occasional display dates. For you Yankees fans who like to spend a lot of money when you see a baseball game, you'll now be visiting the Audi Yankees Club, where Audi logos will adorn the doors, napkins, brochures and televisions. The partnership will last for three years until the end of the 2011 season.

And for those of us that hate the Yankees (I know there's a lot of you out there) I know like Audi a bit less. That backfired Ingolstadt.

I seriously doubt your opinion of Audi has altered at all.

Audi is just trying to tell America what Top Gear has been saying for a year now. The cars are driven exclusively by c**ks

as an audi driver, I am a little sad.
I guess you can't blame them for taking an opportunity
to reach a huge market.
do you think it really works against them?

So does this mean Audi is going to buy out the Nissan GT-R, Corvette Z06, BMW M3, and Porsche 911 to make their roster the strongest?

Yankees and Audi?
Does that seem like an oxymoron to anybody else?

Come on, selling out to the highest bidder regardless of principles or ideals is about as American as you can get. I doubt the Yankees care that they're sponsored buy a German company as long as their check clears. I also doubt that organization is so dense as to not see the irony.

I wasn't talking about the Yankees organization. I hate them. I was referring to the name Yankee itself.

Am I the only one that got tired of "Official Car of XXXX" several years ago?

No, I'm tired of it, too. Way over done.

The question is: How much is Audi paying for this?

As a (self-loathing) Yankees fan, I can see the link between the two ... talented but liked mostly by douchey people

Both Over hyped and overpriced. Marketing at its finest.

Audi is the official luxury vehicle of bad guys. And everyone else.

hmmm...this can't be a bad thing. I'll have to look at the game roster and check for "free Audi R8 day". If there is such a game, I'll be goin!
