    I will take a beating for this, but I hate the R8. I would rather they took some of that technology and put it into a car the common man could afford.

    the S5 is by far the best looking car on the market under $100k. The R8 has it's thing going on...I happen to like it but I know a lot of people who do not.

    Yes, the original RS6 (was it '03 or an '04) was on of my favorite cars.

    And then there's the A4 running on biofuel that just set the record at 226mph?

    I love the R8, but not because im a fanboy. I think that the kind of technology and performance the R8 delivers should be reserved for the best and only the best vehicles in the world. Besides, ever since I saw the RSQ in i,Robot I have been hoping something allong the same lines would come along, and here it is! :D

    The similarity is striking. The wheel arches, the front fascia's grill and cut outs, the rocker panels. Some one borrowed liberally.
