This car's looks are so overrated... It still does not matter that it
drives better than a Lambo cause a Lambo is 10X cooler.

Dunno, I like the Murchi's looks but never really wowed me that much, I actually prefer the R8's look over the Lambo's, they just look like run of the mill exotic cars

I saw on at a local dealer it's a beautiful car, but one thing I dont like about it is how it was dark gray with a silver body panel. You guys know what I am talking about. I like the solid cars as pictured here, IMO it just looks much better. Awesome to hear this car will be gettin' a TT + AWD. Hopefully they remember to add oil coolers... Just kidding!

There is an option to have the same color body panels.

Some dealerships are charging a premium $40,000 - $50,000 for it.

Local dealer by me had said the first guy on their list put a deposit in february of 2007 and he was a businessman...wanting to flip it for a hefty chunk of change. Friday his car came in and he came 30 minustes later after he got a call from the dealer. They made him sign an affidavit guaranteeing first rights on the car if he chose to sell it. After the guy drives off paying thru certified bank check (MSRP is what he paid), he told the sales guy of his he will be back in about a week or so to sell the car for $250,000. Its obvious he wont get it, and if he really wants, hell put it up on ebay or something. In the meantime, the guy can sit back and enjoy his new ride

just thought id share this.
