I'm not much of a car guy anymore. Basicly I've decided if it has four wheels, it sucks. But I saw one of these yesterday, and had to google to find out what it was. It has:
CHECK huge price tag
CHECK HID WITH LED headlights
CHECK monster v8
CHECK robocop looks
CHECK four rings on the hood (uh oh, hello repair bills !)

I saw an R8 a couple weeks ago on I-71, it was headed north. I was shocked that I saw it so soon after release, not to mention in Ohio. Beautiful car.
Wow, thing looks like an animal. Gotta love foreign pieces of crap to work on. I can appreciate the art, but the bills that come with it are too much for me.
I bought my wife an A4 last year and she loves it. It's easily the nicest car she has owned, ever. I can imagine the repair bills for the thing would be outrageous if it were taken to a shop or a dealer, but I do all the work on all of our vehicles and it really hasn't been that bad. My Volvo costs more to maintain than the Audi! Carried the Volvo to my dealer ONCE and cost me over $700.00 for them to change the timing belt! I have done all the work since. The biggest problem with Audi is there is an extremely small amount of space left under the hood to work on it. If you ever get the chance, pop the hood on one and you'll see what I mean!
My friends dad has the 2 litre turbo audi A4 , its a well nice car , there big fans of the brand , he bought my friend/his son a A2 as a run about , its nice 2 drive , looks dog ugly , the A4 is a nice shape
The R8 is just a baby Gayweirdo, err Gallardo. The R12 TDI on the other hand is a f%$king awesome car.
eh even if i won the lotto i don't think i would buy one. i'd get a truck to hall all my bikes on :)
The R8 reminds me more of the Bugatti Veyron than anything else.

The top is the Bugatti, and the bottom is the R8 TDI V12.
