RC, I dont think you will buy back your car, there will be something better that tickles your sense by then...

R8 failures?

- same mildly boring design as the first gen
- mildly boring interior
- no rear seats
- castrated spider version (no plus)
- Audi badge
- MSRP 30% too high as shown by cheap leases
- terrible resale values
- too many ricer liveries with lots of contrasting colors and cheap black wheels
- performance not special enough in today's landscape (think Performante and McLaren)
 

That's probably enough to eclipse the fantastic chassis and V10 engine. You can buy a slightly used 488 or California T and 3 years down the road it will cost you the same or less...
