"It's sexy as hell and you simply cannot argue with a V10 engine putting down 525 horsepower through all-wheel drive. "

Can someone say, "SCHNELL!"?

I just wish somebody could make a car with it's looks & capabilities that didn't cost over 100k - I guess even the Germans think that is too much to ask for...

I agree, much more usable on a daily basis and no $5k service intervals to deal with.

If the current R8 drops in value like all the other big cars, I could see myself getting one, it is AWD after all!
