LOL, you've got to be kidding me Tycoon. You're so biased against Ferrari it's not even funny.

The F430 is better than the R8 in every possible way, but the looks in particular. The R8 looks just plain hideous next to the F430, one of the best cars ever made on this planet.

Re: Auto Motor Und Sport: Audi R8 vs Ferrari F430

how can anybody choose an AUdi over a ferrari?
and i still find it hard to gulp even the remotest possibility of an R8 handling beter than a ferrari (any one)

even worse is the price difference, i would imagine a steeper level of difference
bad bad

In the article they mention that the R8 handles better becuase they drove faster in a sharp courve with the R8 than the F430, baised on that they say R8 handles better
AMS didnt even meassure any times or tried slalom or driving around a track, all they talk about is what they "felt". I demand a deeper and more detailed review. This is no good for me and I dont even want to call it a comparison. All I see is talking and mention stuff the factory told them about.

AMS can do a lot better than this

When AMS are doing detailed and proper reviews they call it "Vergleichstest", now they just call it "impressions" = not a real test, just a test baised on feelings.

Looks have to do with taste, I think the 430 looks
dated even with the updates to the body, buts that
IMO!

Also how can you make a statement like " THE F430 IS BETTER THAN THE R8 IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY" with out evidence! Maybe your the 1 who's bias!
