I agree with the guy who said the R8 shouldn't be used.

Am I the only one that thinks putting up an R8 is stupid?

BMW puts up an M3 in response to the A4. Yeah, the M3 spanks the lower A4 models in all respects, but it is still at the end of the day a 3 series (on steroids), which is a competing model to the A4. Putting up something like the R8 would say to me, "Look at us! We have this top of the line model for 2x as much as your M3 that destroys it!"

Instead they should put up an RS4 or 5 to show they have faith their top of the line A4/5 model is just as good if not better than the M3.

That being said I think most people driving don't even recognize that its an M3 in the BMW ad. They probably just think its a 3 series.

Unless this is just a case of "who's dick is bigger", in which case, the R8 is fine.

If you notice, Audi builds better race cars. They build maybe the best race cars in the world. What does that mean?


It means if they want to beat BMW in performance..... they will.

Nice little war going on there. There is also something similar with bilboards around our province between CAT, John Deere, and BobCat skid steers.
