My wife’s brother-in-law sent me a link recently to an article about the new Audi R8. Wow. I currently drive an Audi S4 Convertible and love it. This is actually my second Audi and I have a feeling that I will always drive them. The price tag on the R8 is going to be a salty $120k - $130k according to Forbes. First off, I can’t see myself spending that kind of money on a car. Second, if I did I don’t think I would go for the R8. I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to drive a Lamborghini Gallardo and the starting price on those is $175k. The way I see it if you wait a few years to get one, the Lamborghini would be the same price as a new R8 and you get a car that is far more exotic.

Of course, if you’re thinking of repair costs and oil changes you would want to go the route of the R8.

I often wonder what my next vehicle will be. The Audi S8 was recently brought to my attention (By Adam, my wife’s brother in law) and I never actually knew that it existed. I think I like the idea of having a lot of power and a lot of room with a lot of electronic toys in the car. The S8 would give me that. Of course I’m only dreamin’. I thought that this video of the R8 was interesting… take a look.
