Chocolate brown is not a good color for that car.

Yep, it's nice, but I'd think I'd have to get one in a non-crap color.

Looks like Audi had some help from across the Alps...

The Gallardo and R8 are based on the same platform, and probably designed by the same people.

I don't like the convertible. The hardtop looks better, and not like an afterthought.

Yes, I just don't like the fact that the two are drifting closer. With a halo vehicle like the R8 one would hope that Audi would keep the body styling more Audi and less Lambo. A halo vehicle is supposed to highlight and emphasize brand traits (though hopefully not the famous Audi understeer and depreciation!). Having the same powerplant/drivetrain/chassis does not mean the body styling needs to be so close. The nose is pure Audi, why not the tail?

Regardless I prefer the hardtop.

I imagine that packaging constraints limit what they can do with the back --- not only the exhausts and cooling of the engine, but the aerodynamic concept of the entire vehicle, too.

I just saw a hardtop R8 the other day on the road. What a gorgeous car from any angle.

Although, this version does get rid of those horrible Luke Perry sideburns.

Loses a lot of its presence without the top, methinks.

I am not even a small-time baller, so I can't. It's also too heavy for what it is.
