The R8 has a Lamborghini engine

And looks like a squashed a5 :notcool:

It's also heavy. But I'd have it over the equivalent priced Aston I think.

And who would want their £100K supercar to look at all like a common or garden A3/A4/A5/A6?A7/A8 rep-mobile?
Agreed.

Bollocks to the lot of them.

Bring back Nicole, that's what I say.

Oh yes - the Incest Information Exchange.

Audi's is quite interesting, since it's been over the factory gates for a very long time. Slightly sinister, since Arbeit macht Frei dates from the same period.

The others all reek of:

There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you

Dunno; sounds like inappropriate lyrics;

I've had this conversation recently with a couple of friends.

Due to that advert the R8 jumped into both their top 5 cars to own of the moment.... crazy!

It is a great advert though.

Alfa/Fiat/Lancia: Without electrics we would sell a lot more cars.

When did Nissan drop SHIFT_expectations? Toyota changed there's again

Definitely bring back Nicole for Citroen
