I'd chip in first.

No one expected the R8 to perform so well but it did so admirably, from running the Hockenheim so amazingly quick and being so comfortable and useable at the same time. I think, nobody thought of Audi as a sports car maker before the R8. Now, everything has changed. The R8 is the proper halo car for Audi. No matter what the link, people would draw to the R8 whenever they talk about Audi.

I have never seen such an Audi myself (fair, given I've been around for only 18 years) and the R8 is a revelation to me. I'd never think of Audi quite the same way again.

With the V10 coming, coupled with DSG, this car is going to rock the house. As JC puts it so aptly, '... This car is without fault' and I think he's 100% right.

Too bad there's no space in the house for an R8 now. Otherwise...
