Q: i saw a maserati gran turismo today in the city and my friend was talking a lot of crap about how the audi r8 is so much better. i, on the other hand, would rather have a maserati than the r8....what about you?
A: As a piece of engineering the Audi R8 is a fabulous car with supercar baiting performance and road presence. However, out of the two i'd go for the Maserati. It's drop dead gorgeous with a wonderful and charismatic 4.2-litre V8. Yes, its slower than Audi but who cares when you're in something that look so stylish and cool.
