    Oh god, Ange is gonna have heart failure.
    I'm undecided, maybe it's the colour that makes it look crap

    I'd have to agree with you Poita.

    At a 1st glance - I don't really like it Click here to enlarge

    Must be the dull colour or maybe the uneven proportions, or maybe the 'loose' looking fabric top, don't know, but it looks a bit shite IMO...will pass final judgement when we see the final product in decent pics.

    Obviously like other mid engined cars, there's no room for a fold-a-way high tech hard top - pity...

    cause it gets attention and people talk about it. ie. now Click here to enlarge

    but as others have said above, i think it may be the colour that makes the above car look a little... strange

    All the high end exotics have a soft top variant of some of their mid engined range, so I suppose Audi wants to get into that side of the market as well with their R8...

    Audi are known to release countless models of their vehicles anyway, there was a leaked report of their future model releases in one of the magazines last month, think it was, I think this R8 vert was one mentioned and they had something like 1/2 a dozen new models coming into the market over the next 12 months, personally I'm looking forward to their TT/RS to be released July/August next year Click here to enlarge

    Plus Audi don't have a hard-top coupe-convertible in their range at all. They are obviously trying to cater to the "purist" convertible owners. i.e. convertibles should have a soft top; coupes should have a hard top!
    Old enough to know better . . . Too old to care!
