I think the level of visual/performance aggression increases from A4 --> RS4 just like it does from Carrera --> GT3 RS. Plain, spicy, or hot... My complaint about the R8 (and really the only complaint) is that it is styled for the moment. Cars like that usually age visually very quickly (within 5 years or so).

I was just making a counter point to to fixedup, not one that was targeted at Audi.

The Audi is just so sleek and sophisticated inside and out. I'd say that comparing it to the 911 visually is like comparing the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai to spending a night in an old castle. Both offer a very special and unique feel and are both very luxurious and stately, but it all depends on what you're in the mood for or what kind of person you are.

The R8 is an absolutely stunning car, much like the Gallardo. I don't think that either of them is going to look old any time soon.

My only beef with porsche is the fact that its the same damn body with some different add ons. I wish the Gt3/gt2/turbo looked completely different. Possibly a mix between a regular carrera and a gt.
This audi is sick without a doubt but at the end of the day its still an audi and for the price they are asking I rather have something more exotic such as an aston martin or a gallardo. My .02
thanks for the pictures jon.
