@ Silvershadow, you are absolutly right with this. I just checked Mobile.de our biggest german car selling platform. And ohhh wounder, there are plenty of R8 with immediat delivery available. If I check prices, there are couple of cars with 10 to 100 km milage (so - they are new, just have a previous registration) for almost the official price. I didnt calculate it on the configurator, but it seems that this cars are even a little bit under the new-car price.

So - not the hype Audi is thinking about.

And as you said - in 2010, this car is old and the next 911 is standing in front of the doors (should be in 2011) :-)
