    No plans for a replacement so nothing.

    I just replaced my '08 R8 with a V10 R8.

    My boss has a fleet of Ferraris (including an Enzo) and a MB-McLaren SLR, all of which I've driven. A coworker has also just taken delivery of a Ferrari California.

    While the Ferraris are fine automobiles that each best the R8 in one category or another, in my view, none have the overall balance of performance, style, fit-and-finish, all-weather capability, and comfort of the R8.

    Ouch!

    While I have no plans on replacing my R8 (Heck, I want my 09!), I'd have to take a long hard look at the new McLaren MP4.

    Re: What to buy after R8?

    I sold mine a month or so ago. Whilst I have a used BMW at present as a stop-gap I really am in a quandary as to what next!

    I am waiting for the new SLK 55 to come out in 2011 as I love the idea of a small, fast coupe/cabrio. If that does not do it for me then an R8 Spyder probably.

    I miss open top motoring!

    I hope to keep my R8 for a very, very long time.

    Hopefully the replacement will be powered by a Flux Capacitor.

    Replace? Never. I'm keeping it. What is the next cool summer car to add to the stable? Very hard to say.
