I'm with you regarding the R8 Damian. I pinned my colours to that mast a while back...

The "sideblades" just have to be body coloured though.
I can't believe more of the motoring journo's haven't drawn a parallel with the 1991 NSX which did all the same things to the supercar establishment that the R8 has this year.
Just like Honda, Audi are ultimately doomed to fail from a sales standpoint but (just like Honda) they will have made their point.

...and still it can't beat a Zanardi 0-100-0.
Both 15.5 seconds.
Most of you guys love the pop ups, and hate the 02 " bug eyes " yet consider that whale pretty???
There is plenty of ugly cars that drive fast.
Someone spill your pint an lunchtime Ary
No, you go for it Ary, embrace the angst!!!
I like certain aspects of the R8, but do not love it! It doesn't get me excited when I look at it. I am not thinking about selling organs to buy it. To me it's just a nice car that that blends in very well with all the other nice cars.
I do however like my 'bug eyed middleweight NSX sportscar.
Cheers

Agree there. I've seen one on the road so far. If it were a new model Porsche or Aston or anything, the 'must haves' would have got one by now. I guess in 15 years people will be saying how 'rare' they are.
What has it done though, to make it a groundbreaking car like the NSX was?
If your fear of staying alive, outweighs the thrill of making the corner, brake.
Well it supposedly has a 2 year waiting list, or so I heard, so I think they're doing a bit better than Honda.
It obviously isn't revolutionary like the NSX (although it has a few gems, like that V8 engine, and of course an Audi interior, and they're the best in the business in my view), but its a useable supercar with supercar looks, and thats why I made the claim I think its the modern NSX. A proper, useable car that looks great and goes fast as chuff. If I could afford one it would be sat in my garage.
