And now, you're doing exactly what they want you to do.. having multipage threads about them.

The point was that Audi has a car that even Ferrari has to pay attention to. Say what you want, but BMW has nothing to compete with the R8.
Good points. I usually find myself agreeing with you lol.

Toyota owns lexus and scion... does that mean it's "ok" for scion to pick on (or attempt to at least) BMW?

Don't get me wrong, Audi's a great brand... but, treading water in shark infested waters is just not smart. Plus, any current ferrari owns the r8.
I was talking about the powerplant of the R8 not their marketing ideas

I also believe losing chess was not BMWs idea, but rather a dealer?

Lol... good commercial, but not in this lifetime. Sorry Audi, but your gonna have to come up with something better than a v10 R8 to show up a Ferrari. Not to mention that the R8's should have came with a v10 from the start...
