Incredible car. I still think it's ugly though. Sorry. Just don't dig nissans odd boxy lines right now. Like the old ones MUCH better.

Is that the same set up we'll be getting here? I noticed it's right hand drive.

wouldnt the GTR vs the S5 be a more suitable comparison?

I know RWD VS AWD... but price points here.

The GT-R already through down against exclusive company. What would an S5 bring to the table that the R8 hasn't got?

GTR on Lenos Garage

I wish when they bring over (ruin) Top Gear for the U.S. they would get Jay to be the host instead of Adam Corolla(ugh), he would be the closest thing to a Jeremy Clarkson out there. Him and the guys from garage419.com, that might be a show that wouldnt be a crappy rip-off of the UK show.

Adam Corolla? Top Gear coming here? Oh man, I hadn't heard. The horror!!

AWESOME article, EVO flat out rules in words and pictures. I am very impressed with the GT-R I have to say, surprisingly so, but I would still take the Audi.

Note that both the GT-R and the S5 are AWD. I feel the R8 w/ the DSG would have been a better and obvious match. S5 w/ DSG if there would be such a thing, would be even closer since both are AWD and front engine, however the GT-R has better balance due to the rear mounted transaxle. Plus there's like 14 driveshafts and that has to count for something.
