Thanks but no thanks, I'll take the ZR1 right now or wait for the LF-A.
Really? Something tells me they really don't care about marketing to the value conscious buyer with this car

Oh, and this car has just much prestige and wowness as any starting Ferrari at $180K.

What's that you say?

And I like the R8 just as much as anyone.

Ferrari blah blah, Ferrari's were cool up to umm lets see 1992 once the 360 and f430 came out well they were not the same to me. On the other hand lambo keeps on getting crazier and faster and better at everything so in my eye's lambo is the new Ferrari and I would take the new R8 over anything in the Ferrari line up

Thumbs up

Damn, that interior

How much weight are we saving with CF side mirror?

Somehow those wheels remind me of this

The R8 is a nice effort from the Germans, but I can't get over the ultra tacky bodywork with mismatched color panels and fake exhaust tips. Did I mention that the tips are fake? How cheap is that? Did they run out of money and can't weld it on? Come on! Totally unacceptable for a car like this! And the interior comes straight from the VW parts bin. This won't be confused with a true sports car, that's for sure.

I'm going to assume this is a joke right?
