So, when a respectable auto group goes and fetches one of the most well-known pop stars today, what do you consider that?

A brilliant marketing move?

In an effort to boost the A1's presence, Audi has enlisted Justin Timberlake, of boy-band and solo fame, to be the brand ambassador. Knowing that Timberlake used to own a first-generation TT back in the day, and has been spotted with a Q7 and S5, he obviously is an Audi fan. This is not an empty endorsement.

How do you feel about this, ladies and gents?
