I ask her all the time, "If you could have any car, what would it be?" And her answer is always the same, "Whatever, as long as it doesn't have holes in the seats and it doesn't smell like old socks." She tends to like the E-Class Mercedes mostly, because it looks classy. And then one day she saw the R8, and she turned to me and said, "Wow. THAT is a really nice looking car. I want one of those. Whatever that is, it is my favorite car. Find out what it is." I just about fell on the floor, because I never expected to hear that from her at all. But I didn't fall on the floor, because I was too busy admiring the beauty of the R8 and hearing the wonderful sound of it. About a month ago, one of her photography instructors told her that if she were to shoot like she shoots now, and make good business decisions, she'll be driving a Ferrari in no more than two years. She told him, "I don't want a Ferrari. I want an R8." My wife isn’t in to cars at all.

The R8 is mid-engined anyway - AWD is almost not even needed on this car. Scrapping the AWD will save a LOT of weight, which help the car’s performance.
