you see it? you see it? the grille is a big bulls face
Thats not a good picture, but those lights look very good in real life. My guess is that the LED light fad will out last the Halo fad, maybe an LED halo

If anyone lives near the dealership (name begins with York) and can verify the presence of the ads, let us know.

You may recall the original ad war from Santa Monica between Audi and BMW last week. Our Car Lounge topic on the subject can be found via the link below.

That ad would do quite well lol.

Well...in terms of performance, I don't think the R8 is going to outdo an M3. They're probably fairly even.
When it comes to looks though, the R8 is better imo.


And with regards to the Audi/Mercedes ad. I don't think that's real (albeit I'm not home atm). The reason is, the dealership that says "York" is a Volkswagen only dealership at "Yorkdale". I doubt they'd let another company purchase out the ad-space there. If you look closely, you can see some VW Golfs in the distance.

I was thinking more in terms of flagship sports car. The M3 is a compact sport coupe, it should be compare to the Audi RS4. BMW's closest competitior to the R8 is the M6, and the M6 is more of a mid size sport couple than a true sports car.
