Whatever. There’s no way the product placement here can be any worse than Ford’s shameless commandeering of “I Am Legend.” Sure the Shelby Mustang looked nice, but are we really supposed to believe that the last vehicles on planet earth were all Fords?

And you know what, they’re actually being faithful to the comic book, believe it or not. Check out Warren Ellis and Adi Granov’s “Extremis” storyline. Stark is delivered to the airport in an AUDI. I kid you not. ‘course, it wasn’t an R8, but probably only because they weren’t around yet then.

I did a survey once where they asked me about a car used in an X-Men movie, where Mags ripped the bridge in the air. It’s amazing anyone in PR thinks someone thinks “Hey, I saw that car for two seconds in the background scenery of a comic movie! Want!”

Unless Audi plans to make a suit i can fly in, I could care less about the company’s relationship to the movie.

I might buy an Audi with retractable gun turrets.

They should race. Maybe the Audi turns into War Machine. Can’t wait for this movie.

I don’t think he can fit in that.
