check out the sale of r8s on autotrader and etc...
and the new NSX does not do it for me... just like the LFA and the new corvette..
Yeah I was curious b/c I’ve always liked them (R8s) - love how Audi somehow balanced a borderline exotic/supercar design w/ daily driver level comfort/amenities.
Expensive all around tho.
LFA didn’t perform in line w/ the price tag, looked/sounded the part though.
NSX - from what I hear drives effortlessly- almost too much, performance bar is quite high but doesn’t really have an “identity” if that makes any sense- too bad it doesn’t have a manual option since Honda makes the best (from the factory) IMO. I understand you can get $20-$60k off new ones depending on timing & sticker price. I think the idea of the car was along the lines of the R8, but they missed the mark.
C8 corvette? Jury’s still out yet for me- have yet to see one in person, need to drive it. I have no problem w/ the drastic design change I just think it really deserve a new model designation. It may turn out to be the best vehicle GM has ever produced, but it ain’t a corvette....if they were smart they’d keep churning out “regular” C7 style front engine vettes mostly unchanged for a few more years while charging more for base C8 & just simultaneously padded their wallets from both ends.
At any rate- good luck w/ your R8 man it is very clean looking & awesome color combo.
