Default Not surprising

The R8 at Markham about a month ago had those. Leave it to a combination of stricter collision requirements here in Canada and Audi designing the car that would meet most of the world's crash test requirements and then graft these things on afterwards.

I guess it could be said that Canada is lucky enough that the R8 is here and just not exclusively for the US. Even so, North America gets screwed over from other cars that we'll never see here like the RS6 avant.

They're not as bad as the TTs. They sort of blend in nicely.

Just a quick question. Do you carry around that SLR with you everywhere?

It's an S5 IS and I do carry it with me all the time, it's either in my bag or in the car.
