Probably me at the Audi board, not the MB board.

It's pretty clear that the Z-Max company has paid some good coin to get product placement and forced sales. There were Z-Max signs and brochures all over the Audi dealer. It's a shame that Audi would let their dealers stoop to this.

They don't give money to place the product for the most part. The products and branded services have very large markups. Even more so if the product or service is not even used or peformed as noted in the Jiffy Lube lawsuits.
