Daily Auto News Audi Hires Justin Timberlake as Brand Ambassador
Daily Auto News
Justin Timberklake is bringing his Futuresex/Lovesound to German-automaker Audi as the company’s new brand ambassador. According to an Audi press release, “The entertainer will play the leading role in an exceptional Audi A1 Internet campaign to be launched in the spring of 2010.&rdquo.
The 2011 Audi A1, a fuel-efficient luxury subcompact car, is slated for sale in Europe, but may not make its way to U.S. shores. Autoblog writes: “The decision on whether or not the A1 makes the trek to America may well depend on its ability to make money at Mini’s established price points and how strongly Audi believes that U.S. buyers have signaled their willingness to spend premium bucks on small cars.”
Still, the American blogosphere is buzzing — which, of course, is the whole point of recruiting a teen heartthrob turned pop icon to promote a car geared toward young adults. In fact, Gossip Center recently published photos of Timberlake shooting a commercial for Audi in downtown LA. In case you were wondering, GC reports that “Timberlake was joined by the beautiful Dania Ramirez as he strolled around the set in a classy suit-and-tie combo in between takes.”
No word yet on whether or not Jessica Biel, his on-again/off-again, girlfriend will be riding shotgun.

It looks as if Justin Timberlake is trying to display that his and Jessica Biel’s relationship is still strong. I do believe he looked happier with his ex – Cameron Diaz though.
