If you had a choice between the Audi R8 or the Nissan GT-R, which one would you pick and why? I know neither are bad choices...

if I HAD to...wow though choice Wei. Actually very easy choice for me, given I saw both of them upfront at the LA Auto show, the no brainer for me is the Audi. I love European styling and Audi didn't disappoint with the R8.

Honestly, I'd probably go with the GT-R. Both are very antiseptic feeling cars. In the end though, the GT-R is the king of the hill. It's got the power, the pedigree and proven performance. The R8 is great, but it's a boring car for the most part. If we were talking about the 6.0L V12 diesel concept car, I would have it in a second. However, I think the practicality of the GT-R will win out between the two. Now what about adding in a third car like the Porsche 911 Turbo?

I've never been a fan of the Porsche... maybe it's cause it's been around too long and not much visually has changed. Or maybe it hasn't changed enough for me to notice.

I know they can look a bit like an elongated VW Beetle, but they are so refined and nice to drive. The interiors are beautiful and they don't void your warranty for stupid stuff like using launch control, a feature that Nissan itself built into the car. The fact that they come in GREEN only makes them cooler too!



I know, totally absurd, but that's what's so great about it.

Is it as cheap as the GT-R's though?

Ok, so now we'll throw this in the mix...



If nothing else, it'll make the R8 V8 cheaper...
