But we don&#8217;t know any. So instead, let&#8217;s talk about how Audi has just picked Justin Timberlake to be their new spokesman. What&#8217;s JT doing specifically? Seems as if the four interlocking rings folks are gearing up to do some sort of &#8220;extraordinary Internet campaign&#8221; for the A1 and &#8220;That&#8217;s where Timberlake will play a leading role.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Just yesterday, we published a report that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/15\/report-2011-audi-a1-not-coming-to-the-states\/\">the new Audi A1 will possibly <em>not<\/em> be coming to the U.S.<\/a> Obviously, a star of Timberlake&#8217;s caliber will be able to effectively move metal outside of our shores. But we have to wonder if Audi&#8217;s naming Timberlake its brand ambassador doesn&#8217;t kick a little sand into the eye of the A1-is-not-for-here theory. After the all, the guy started his music career on <em>Star Search<\/em> and later as a Mouseketeer. It seems fairly apparent that Audi would make a move like this if us American types are in fact getting their small premium city car. Then again, we&#8217;re not really up on our star watching and our Significant Others tell us that JT is an international phenom. In any case, at this moment in time, we just don&#8217;t know what to think.
