yeah the m1 needs some "development". I do like the BMW kidneys on the front and the headlights remind me of the Alfa Brera which is a good thing. It's the rear third that looks clumsy. I know it's meant to mimic the shape of the original shape but it just doesn't look right and the original design is 30 years old.

The R8 on the other hand is the only Audi I like to the look of. Give me an R8 any day.

Sorry if this offends, but what a flipping ugly pile of cr*p.

Did they get schoolchildren to design it with old crayola crayons, only having the awful colour crayons left over that the other children didnt want to use?

How on earth can a German car manufacturer design that? Did they all get drunk or take hallucionagenic chemicals to excess ??

Lost for words.

Did I mention its FUGLY!

R8 is utter tosh, i cant stand them. i have to change the channel when the ad comes on. YUK!!!

That M1 if it ever goes into production, wont be as radical as those pictures, and therefore it should look pretty good i think.

R8 is quality. M1 looks as much of a dog as it's 70's namesake. Will never make it into successful production. I'll take a 911 any day :smug:
