The black one actually looks pretty sleek.

The other colors, not so hot.

Amazing machine. I think they MSRP for closer to $125,000. Still cheaper than any of the V12 Mercs for example.

Oh, and there is already a 2+ year waiting list for them, so get in line.

Oh and what's C&D?

i know that beauty is subjective and not everyone finds the R8 nice looking, but the R8 just screams supercar whereas the vette is a lot more plain looking

and R8 interior >>>>>>> vette interior

not saying the vette is a bad car. I like the vette too, but c'mon, if both were offered to you for free, you'd pick the Corvette?

its like getting offered 250 million or 300 million....while the 250 is nice/plenty enough for everyone, the 300 just sounds....better.

They are awesome cars, but unfortunately I would never even consider one even if I had the money. 2 year wait? Shit, in 2 years something better than the R8 will be out, why waste the money on something that by that time will be inferior?

isn't that true with everything? by then yes, newer faster better car is out, but that one also has a 2 year waiting time. So you can just keep waiting.
