Re: The new Audi R8!

I think it is boring because they didn't advance, it isn't something outrageous like a supercar should. It is the old car, with straighter and more boring lines, in my point of view, with a TT face slapped on it.
A bit like what TofuWarrior said.
Exactly!
While Audi is one of the handfull of companies to have the same face across most of their models, thhe R8 was always the exception. It's a V10 supercar, it's mid engined, it deserves to look the part too. Ferrari is famous because od their racing heritage, because of the performance and the feel of the car. Would it be the same without those Pinninfarina lines? I think not.
A bit like the Porsche Cayyenne and Panamera. Fairly decent cars, but they just arent porsches.
Porsche Cayenne. There is a substitute.
