The Audi ad was widely interpreted online as "women can do anything, but only if they're blonde, rich, and thin". And then Audi admitted that they have no female execs and that they pay women less than men. VAG can catch no breaks.
The Buick ad with Cam Newton played probably the best of any of the automaker ads - at the party I was at it was replayed multiple times on the DVR and everyone laughed their butts off.
