miami show will be right after the paris show. i wonder if audi will bring the R8 to show in the US then. likely not since they will put all their resources into paris and not bother with a teeny show like miami.

also. my first dream car was the NSX. i'll never forget the sleepless nights. the first time i saw one on the streets of LA. and even outlining one on one of the walls of my bedroom so i could get an idea of its proportions!

is it normal to feel like i am in high school still? this time it's the R8. though i haven't yet drawn on my wall.

some similarities between the NSX and R8

all aluminum
mid engined
exotic perfomance at half the price
gorgeous

but the R8 is so much more----

quattro

and (for me) attainable.

{SIGH}

NSX is really beautiful, and I've once come near to buy one.

NSX had the best shift feel and very rigid suspension like a truck, but I also felt it cramped on the seat as in a truck. They have wide rear tires, but they wear very fast, because the nice engine drives the rear alone. I felt the rear drive one not stable but precarious, and I was afraid that I might drive myself into a fatal accident...

Gallardo was beautiful and stable, and R8 must be nice. I'm dreaming, too. :-)

My first dream car that I owned was the 1991 NSX- it was unbelievable to drive... The sound of the engine above 6000 RPM was so sweet and the handling surgically precise. I expect the R8 to be better- much better. In addition to fabulous performance and an engine with soul- nobody does interiors like Audi. The lines on the car are gorgeous...
Gonna be quiet on this forum until Paris....

It might be dubuted in L.A.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/26/eight-automakers-have-world-debuts-scheduled-for-l-a-already/">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/26/eight-automakers-have-world-debuts-scheduled-for-l-a-already/</a</li></ul>

So you mean the TT convertible will debut in LA. The R8 won't have the world debut in LA, but it might have the US debut there.
