Audi R8
Porsche 911 Turbo
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Bias?
Possibly.
The Porsche and Audi do nothing for me in the looks department though. I don't care how great an engineering achievement a petrol VVG turbo is if the car looks like what I see 50 a day of in Sydney - and have never desired to own. The Audi is just a blob with a bit of colour on the sides and is apparently frighteningly fast - but I'm in no hurry to find out.
There is a point that you have to follow your heart and I'd be tempeted to take a original Cooper Mini over the other do as it 'does it for me' and they don't.

No Mr. Craig, I expect you to die! On the inside. Of heartbreak. You emo bitch
Aston hands down. I dont think the 997 Turbo is a fair comparo I think the regular 997 911 is much more fair.

R8. A HSV one, failing that, the Audi.

I voted the Audi. The main reason was that the 911 is too safe a bet, and also the 911 has the worst engine note i've ever heard from a porsche. A guy was driving one at the mall down the street from my house, and i was so disappointed. Sounded like a civic with a "fart-cannon"...I know that every tester in the world has fallen all over themselves about the Turbo but when you cruise for enjoyment the car's gotta sound right. The turbo has been on my dream list for a while, but when you drive a car you need to be edgy and you want it to set you apart.
When I saw the R8 at the Auto show it looked stunning, I just couldn't believe my eyes. Looks a car that should compete with the F430 in price. I have yet to see it on the road but can't wait! It's a car that gets your heart pumping and lets you know that all men are mere mortals.
The aston has the presence of luxury and exoticness but not the guns to back it all up and I just couldn't live with that.
That said it still isn't such a clear cut win. These are only my current opinions of the cars, but that can change.

I would choose the Audi. Why? Porsche's too rough and callous for me, and the Aston's not my kind of car. Too fragile.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
Aston looks the best, but the classi-ness just brings it closer to Paris Hilton than mere mortals like me.

well no matter what everybody thinks bout the R8 i still dont finish liking that lines... but ill get used to it like the veyron ... but ill rather take a 911... the Aston its too Senior for me... (only 19 years).
the 911 looks more young and the engine sound its too sweet... (even though bmwpower says that its engine sounds like a "fart-cannon"... maybe u just heard a 911 with a really damaged engine )
