The R8 has already stolen the show. It is spectacular.

I really like the new S5 too.

I'm sure the M3 coupe will be spectacular.

The C63 is too much brute force and likely not enough traction or ride comfort.

The GT-R is no beauty queen, and I don't like the body changes on the IS-F over the regular IS.

In this big-money Washington, DC area, I've already seen a couple of them on the road.

Of these I am most interested in the GT-R, but I would never pay 70K or
more for that car or any of the other ones on the list.

In this order:
1. R8 no doubt
2. GT-R
3. LF-A, since lexus is taking their sweet time.

I can agree with that order, but I would add V10 to the R8

I am sure all 3 will be pretty awesome, but #2 & #3 might have ranked higher in my book had their exterior design been more attractive (Of course, they have yet to reveal the production version of the LF-A, but the front end of the latest concept still need some massaging IMO)

For me, it would have to be the LF-A, GT-R, and IS-F (in that order).

I fully agree with you. I haven't seen anthing yet over $40,000, brand-new, that I would actually spend that kind of money for and buy, although a few new Lexus and Acura products come close....they are tempting, even at high prices.
