Good points.... and...
R8-Not always $135K:

And you can get GREAT deals on low mileage Astons... under $100K for low mile 09s AND 10s

That's because...like every other Audi...they're overpriced.

The R8 with the V8 is just not impressive for the dollars they want for it.

I love both cars, and can't deny the awesomeness of the R8, but the V8 Vantage is still my dream car regardless of it's ranking in any automotive test conducted. +1 Vote for the Vantage.
