Buying a luxury car for a lot is only stupid if you can't comfortably afford it but, if you're financially secured and you make more than enough to afford a car you desire, than why not.

Why you giving car advice b you bought a v6 chally.Im all for letting another man taking that depreciation hit but 90 racks on a car thats already half a decade old?
Like i said if i had dispoable income like that it might be a different story but hey it aint trickin if u got it it...
id rather buy a a new alpina or that new cayman or somethin. But like some have mentioned 90% of these luxury autos are garage queens.
Audi has some of the most boring designs. R8's are okay though

let the man buy what he wants to buy. He said he guinely likes the older one so why should he be able to buy a car with HIS money?
We’ve come across this photo which appears to show the all-new Audi R8, scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
We don’t know if it’s the real thing or not, but it’s definitely how we imagine Audi’s conservative designers would draw it.
2011 model? What's the mileage like? Might be their tester or even managers car?
Based around an all-new Audi Space Frame chassis, the new R8 is constructed of a higher proportion of aluminum and carbon fiber than its predecessor. The result is a frame that weighs 15 percent less at just 441 pounds – yet is 40 percent more torsionally rigid - tipping the scales at 3,205 lbs in top spec.
Into the middle of that frame Audi has installed a revised version of its 5.2-liter V10, eschewing turbochargers but incorporating new technologies. While other powertrain options are expected to follow, Ingolstadt has gone straight for the top of the range at launch: the 'base' V10 model kicks out 540 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph. The upgraded V10 Plus, however, turns those figures up to 610 hp and 413 lb-ft to reach 62 in just 3.2 seconds, 124 in under ten and a 205-mph top speed. All the while, Audi has also equipped the new ten-cylinder engine with both direct and indirect injection, stop/start and cylinder deactivation systems to cut fuel consumption by 10 percent. It also boasts dry-sump lubrication and a variable exhaust system.
Power is transmitted to the road through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, a mechanical diff and a revised Quattro all-wheel drive system that can send 100 percent of available torque to either the front or rear axle. Aluminum wishbones suspend it all on 19-inch wheels (or optional 20s), with available variable steering and carbon ceramic brakes (optional on the V10 and standard on the V10 Plus). Underbody aerodynamics generate more downforce and a more slippery form, aided by a deployable rear spoiler (or a fixed carbon wing on the Plus model).
