I am thinking about getting an S5 for myself, so I took my dad with me to see if he approved of the car (I am choosing between 335 coupe or S5 now, or wait for M3). The dealer said he a had a little surprise for me and took me downstairs to the garage where a recently unloaded R8 was sitting. We instantly fell in love. To be honest, I was never a huge fan of this car till now. I felt it was overpriced (a 420 HP audi for for the same price as a 997 Turbo???) and looked too wild, but when I got up close and personal I could see why it costs what it costs. The dealer turned the engine on for us and my dad was sold. He put a deposit on the car right there, which was funny because he came to the dealer only to see the S5. Anyways, the salesman thinks he can get him the car by April because he knows of someone who is backing out, and he is going to see if he can get the guy to swap with my dad. Although he is still hoping that his F430 will arrive one day (he's been on the waiting list for 3 years now), I think he is gonna love the R8.
