I have to admit, I am a big fan of the R8. I saw it in person at a local Audi dealership and it looks even better up close. The article in Car and Driver complained that it did everything well but had no personality... I disagree. With my little experience on race tracks.... a well behaved mid-engined R8 would be fine by me. I would hate to wrap a newly minted 100+K car around a tree because of my incompetence.

I would love a F430 but the comparison is not really fair as they are in very different price points.

Porsche or Audi? Porsche or Audi? Hmmmm.... difficult choice.
