But for a low budget car its nice. And $1500 for a 12 speaker B & O system is a bargain and a half considering the B & O system in the Veyron cost $35,000 dollars. Now if only their home audio stuff was that cheap. 599GTB you have obviously never heard a Bang and Olufson system before, or even the Harmon Kardon system in th MB S550, the HK system blows the doors off the Acura.

OK, I'll believe it when I read the reviews. At the moment, Acura's Panasonic ELS sound system is by far the reference standard for OEM mobile audio. “Finest system ever fitted to a sports car?” OK, I’ll believe it when I read the reviews.

Also, why is Audi competing with Porsche? If I was Audi and I really wanted to compete with Porsche I just wouldn't let them use my dealership network anymore. When I think about it, it seems like all the companies related to VW are intent on competing with each other more than anyone else. Let's face it, a two-seat, mid-engined Audi doesn't really compete with a 2+2, front-engined BMW. And Aston Martin produces cars in such a relatively low volume that they can't build them as fast as people buy them, so it's a bit ridiculous to name the Vantage as a competitor. I really see the primary target here as Porsche, which is almost Audi. If they then put a V10 in this car, it will compete with the Ferrari 430, but also the Lamborghini Gallardo. Honestly, about the only car from this mixed-up company that I can think of that doesn't compete with another car from the company is the Bugatti Veyron. My head hurts. /no It’s nice, but I don’t really like it as much as I initially did.

Wonder what they'd name it? Can't be RS8(taken). SR8 sounds wierd, kinda like a Toyota model. Im guessing they will come out with a (Gallardo)V10 powered “S” version.
