Vorsprung Durch Technik 

The advertising slogan/strap line of German automaker Audi.

Often heard at the end of 1980s-era Audi commercials and cleverly adapted to suit the theme of the ad.
Example 1 - Audi 100 commercial set in New York City:
"Vorsprung Durch Technik, Durch Technik as they say in New York, New York"

Example 2 - Audi 100 commercial set around a German violinist:
"Vorsprung Durch Technik, as they play, in Germany"

Vorsprung Durch Technik 

German for 'Progress through technology'. Apparantly.
