Who cares ?! Really Martin 1. first it doesn't have a boxer 2. second it doesn't have the engine placed in a weird position 3. third it's weird looking 4. doesn't have traditional AWD Come on Marinbo how many flaws can you find ?! We get it, you like you cars in a certain rally, off road, conservative type of way. | |

 Still doesn't light my fire, float my boat, blow my hair back, smoke my rubber, ring my bell or whatever other inane metaphor that may come to mind. The R8, I acknowledge, is an amazing car and hell yes, I'd love to own and drive one. But I'll be the first to say that it's not a classic beauty in the truest sense of the sports car idiom. People are entitled to their opinion - particularly if it's an informed one.

I love cars like the Gallardo, F430 and Pagani Zonda for the exquisite mid-engined creations that they are. I will be the first to say that one of my all-time favourite hypercars, the Carrera GT, isn't nearly a paragon of aesthetic beauty. That doesn't change how I feel about it. As much as I lament the looks on a subjective level of the R8, I still have a fine and deeply informed appreciation for the car and it's ability.

| Re: Car and Driver: Aston Martin V8 Vantage vs Audi R8 vs Porsche 911 Turbo It was teasing, joking.  Just forgot the smilies. I also like this a sport car. Street legal Lancia Delta S4. Moreso than the 959.  BTW, like the CGT, Zonda F, but the McLaren F1 comes first, actually right now its the T1 that comes first. CGT, nice car, but not really close enough to the cigar for me. For the F1 part, guilty and proud of it.  So are we cool. |
