P.S: Mods please move the post if already a thread exists(I searched but did not find any matching one)

Sir John Hegarty, co-founder of the BBH advertising agency, talks about the creation of one of the most recognised German catchphrases in British popular culture, 'vorsprung durch Technik' (progress through technology). It became the slogan of German car-maker Audi after Hegarty visited its factory in 1982

A three-word slogan, drawled lugubriously by Geoffrey Palmer in a series of Audi ads, changed all that. "Vorsprung durch Technik" became a motto for a nation that was putting the past behind it and restyling itself as a byword for quality, efficiency, progress and technology.
