L.A. Auto Show: Audi R8 perfect for Hollywood types


The world debut of the 2008 Audi R8 was held a few months ago in Paris, but its North American debut here at the L.A. auto show may be just as important. After all, a big chunk of the R8's sales will go to U.S. buyers, and many of those buyers are likely to be the Hollywood type. Getting the eye-catching R8 in the hands of high-profile owners could go a long way toward elevating Audi's brand image in the U.S., something the execs in Ingolstadt have tried and failed to do for years.

I love it.
 
I hear you can get those side panels in body color or even in carbon fiber. It's gonna be a hit.
