Hold on, I am not even halfway through translating the Toyota Yaris review!

j/k

The BMW 7-Series Hydrogen report is basically a little introduction about the car. They didn't drive it. Basically, it's a media press release in AMS own words about the car. You can find them online at - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER etc.

Sure, I can get the BMW X5 article. Gimme some time though. Probably tomorrow since I am not busy then.

This is 1 comparison I never saw coming!

R8=better grip & handling
F430=faster more powerful

verdict: R8 1/2 the cost!

AMS usually presents acc times and slalom speeds but not this time. Now they just scratching the surface. Looks like they just trying to show off by being first with a R8 and a Ferrari on the same shots. I wait for a deeper review with real numbers than just text. I bet they didnt even try these cars on a track or meassured any times. This review is to be honest just a "yamn" and nothing special. There will be better ones.

Damn this site is nuts. I haven't logged in for 36 hours and there are almost 800 new posts.

The fact they they think the R8 had better handling can be a bit shooking but it is understandable. Four wheel drive = traction monster. Then again i don't care if the F430 isn't a king at the ring. It is probably much moer fun to drive than the R8.

Audi has done it again. The R8 lives up to the myth.

Theu sure do. It's so amazing to see those two next to eachother!

I prefer the F430's exhaust note.

But I guess that's a minor part of the overall decision.

This time I think the R8 is a better choice.

To choose between the two for me would be a no brainer: R8.

Like the article stated; Ferrari is always Ferrari. I pick F430
