[s-cars] Dreaming of more than Thankgiving turkey

[jpb3]

The R8 is such a machine, pure Audi and total "Vorsprung durch Technik".

Take the $1200 lease option and then trade it back in when the V10 or R10
debuts.....the 4.2 is schweet but a 5.2 V-10 is what needs to be in this
car.

I think they should have stayed with turbocharging with this car, 4.2  TT V8
would have made this a tuners dream.
