I owned an LP 560- 4 that one of the members bought and now I have a 2008 G Spyder. This is my opinion, the R8 and the Turbo S are great daily drivers , fast ,efficient, reliable , however I felt no passion ; this is difficult to describe, but I love my G , it is wild, it is raw, it requires full attention ( heck I have not programed the radio) . And then the WOW factor, proudly telling people I own one , kids and others giving me "thumbs up". It is about emotion and passion,sound , beauty , you allknow what I mean , LOL
The R8 5.2 ( forget about the V8) is a great car but........

I'm the type of person that if I pay over 100 grand for a car, people should know the instant they look at it, regardless if they know absolutely nothing about cars.
