She points to the L upper corner of the screen @00:11 (from the viewer's perspective) while the pop-up link appears on the R side of the screen.

Nope, i'm interested in seeing you presenting a new video. I couldn't be less interested in that car. A coupé SUV is a waste of space. But i still watched the video.

Are you sure this is the Vorsprung edition? Looks like the Black Edition to me, with the flat-bottom steering wheel and chrome-look Audi badge on the front.
