R8 is a decent bang for buck. v10 over v8, only because of the sound it makes when you add a proper exhaust. Otherwise get the v8 and TT it.

LFA, entirely too stupid expensive, sounds like a marvel though.

NSX, looks ultra REGULAR

C8, who let their kid go to "corvette" day and say, "momma momma, I want that Ferrari." Son, that is a corvette... " oh, sure looks like a Ferrari momma" LOL. K... that is going to get the pot boiling..... haha

I can’t stand the LFA, or the NSX. Both fugly. But I hate Toyotas and Hondas in general. Would never own one. To me, they are the antithesis of a driver’s car.

Yeah yeah, they are high performance cars, and the LFA sounds good. Yes, I am aware of the Supra. No thank you very much.

Love the R8 though.

The wife’s 20 model Denali XL. Currently looking for some bolt-on performance mods after deciding the Lingenfelter/Hennessey packages are too much of an extravagance...

Whats it like owning an R8 in terms of maintenance costs and reliability? Is it similar to owning a typical audi or is more along the terms of a porsche/ferrari/lambo?

The ******* problem is that... Its an Audi by stamp/VIN/badging, but its a Lambo by cost and maintenance and underlying parts :(

I was given a lovely looking r8 but a maintenance scare. When I received her, it was leaking oil from the oil pump shaft seal, needed intake solenoids and flaps and sensors and shortly after all that was taken care of, the RTRONIC pump went.

While those things were taken care of, I did some pre-maintenance work also.

I've spent 9k on maintenance in a year, but its got 70k and the typical engine is only good for about 120k. I do believe the v10 will break before the v8 will.
