THE AUDI R8

...Pros: yes i believe that this car has constantativeley counter parted the quadratic blow out revolving around the jagger factor.
if it does indeed decieve the quantitative and qualitative ergonomics during the fursticulating foresights of the lishtoncious degree,
we will see countless morbanes of improvement both gastively and hypophonically.
Cons: JAKE is a LOSER Overall: in regars to the Ronogan experiment of the late 1960's,
we have seen much incospitious models which includes but is not limited to the fluxuation of the arnstuators and merdliomars.

Audi has a true winner that is living up to the pre-release hype!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Perfect combination of performance, styling and uniqueness with everyday driveability...the total package!
Cons: Although a supercar/sports car, expected more from the premium package as it relates to Ipod usability.
Also, plenty of pwer, but for $130K, a horsepower bump (say 500 hp)would be the ultimate compliment to a great car. Overall: Truly an exceptional car to own/drive...

Why should I also consider these?

The R8 isn't so much a competitor to Italian exotics such as the Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo, as both of those vehicles appeal to a niche group of affluent enthusiasts and collectors who don't expect as much practicality in a vehicle and will wait in line for years for delivery.

The Gran Turismo has a larger cabin and a backseat that's large enough for small adults, along with a distinctly Italian style, though it's heavier than the especially nimble R8.

The Aston is similarly heavier, exclusive, and luxurious, and it's a great grand-touring vehicle.

The Porsche 911 remains arguably the most practical choice in the group, with its more spacious front and rear cargo areas, and an enviable record for safety--that is, provided you don't think 911s are a dime a dozen.
