@Jess.. We rarely see cars come here @ exchange value. I would think it would be closer to 250k and at that price it just doesn’t have the class, especially in that blue!

Gorgeous car, but lacks presence, badge value, performance, and exclusivity against the LP560-4. There is no doubt about the Audi’s place in the pecking order, and it is price accordingly.

“Elitist”: Then don’t watch the show.No doubt you prefer the other trio of
knuckleheads. Maybe when you actually become old enough to drive you’ll be able to do your own show on community TV.

@Crouchy 49p = $1AU at last check. So a little over $200K. Not bad in my opinion. What would you like it for free?

On another note, as good as he car is, IMO it’s not the pritiest car to look t especially in that blue with that butt ugly silver contrast on the side.

High revving V10′s or V12′s like the ones in the Lambo’s sound better than any high reving V8 in a Ferrari especially since Ferrari went with the lower reving 4.3.

Hate this show soo much, Tiff is a wanker who wanks alot and Vicky is a washed up Brand Power whore. jason potato head is the only decent guy on the show and that fat wombat makes me sick too his his references to his young gay family and always being on a budget, tight arse brits.

Personally not a big fan of AM of late, yes DB9 is very elegant and graceful but with DBS and V12 Vantage, AM is losing its gentlemen racer elegance.

If you’re after “Poseur Value” buy an R8 if you’re after “Style & Class” buy an Aston Martin DB9/Vantage.

Yes the R8 is a good looking car [better than the Veyron] but the look of the Aston Martin is Classic Iconinc and somewhat timeless

I just cant see the $100,000 pounds in this car… It doesnt have the presence or the individuality of a lamborghihni.

An amazing car but it has some SERIOUS competition.
