The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating

9.2
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2009 Audi R8 looks and sounds like an exotic, but is more livable and drivable than its raging-bull cousin. The 2009 Porsche 911 is in a class of its own, and if you have your heart set on one, there's very little else to compare it to.
