Robb Report Editors Name Audi R8 Car Of The Year
I can't say that this is a huge shock, as this is a pretty impressive car. Here's a little bit from the article:
The Audi R8’s selection for this award came after a week of rigorous testing by a panel of experts that included Robb Report automotive editor Gregory Anderson, along with correspondents Paul Dean and Marco della Cava. Those journalists were joined by a panel of judges consisting of executives and Robb Report readers from throughout the world. Outdistancing the highly competitive field of sports and luxury entrants, the R8 took top honors in what Mr. Anderson described as “the closest vote in the award’s recent history.” He said the newest addition to the Audi line “is a sports car that you could drive comfortably to work every day – taking the long route. And while Audi may not have the cache of Ferrari or Porsche, it can keep pace with a prancing horse on an empty stretch of tarmac.” The R8 beat out the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, Bentley Continental GT Speed, Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG, Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé, Maserati GranTurismo, Lamborghini LP640 Roadster, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, Lexus LS600h L, BMW M6 Convertible, Saleen S302 Extreme and Dodge Viper SRT10.
