R8 is so disappointing inside, just standard VAG parts bin stuff.

How is it a let down? Don't know what some people expect. Get in a ferrari and you'll get ferrari parts inside - not overly different from other ferraris.

Optional extras will get you different colour/style leather, stitching, audi exclusive stuff, carbon fibre etc. It is a very nice place to be even on a long journey and most things are directed towards the driver.

Rather nice looking Zephyr

Compared to what? I thought the interior was incredible when I compared it with the Gallardos back to back.

R8s are so boring.

Its like the Aston Martins that share parts with Fords, when you buy a premium car you expect a bit of prestige!
Porsche are no better either.

Give an example of something you think has a top level interior then?

It doesnt have to be top level, when you buy a 100k car you just dont expect it to share the same switchgear/gauges as the pen salesman in his bottom of the range diesel hatchback company car.

Looks like Aston are in trouble then............

Jaguar XJ220 has rover 200 rear lights.

Audi might be a parts bin but it will be put together well. Not like a Ferrari 360

Thats more likely true of the driver

MG BGT? That really is not thread worthy.

Its still in one piece, you think thats easy

This is my point, I did one of those track experiences in an R8. I got out of my cheap 7 year old A3 and into Audi's supercar - it had the same switchgear and instrument panel - made it feel very cheap.

Jackie Stewart's machine however....

Just as well it's not up to you to decide what is worthy. MGB GTs aren't really a common sight are they?

Again, give an example.

Did Audi actually use switches from an A4 or are people exaggerating?

Tell me one thing that is exactly the same in the interior of the R8 and a 7 year old company car base spec A3.

Nothing is the right answer.

The first thing I spotted was the wing mirror position switch,and the switches around it - it is exactly the same as that in my A3 (which is neither a company car or base spec )

Pedals were the same as mine too, but they're the S3 ones I fitted aftermarket.

That is the right answer

Hadn't seen this Jag before in the flesh. It was very nice indeed.
