Audi R8 is 'Iron Man's' Automotive Soul Mate
What Car Best Represents You?
It’s every woman’s fantasy: The sexy bad boy with a crazy hot car (Audi R8) who realizes the error of his ways and turns into a good guy superhero with enough electronic gizmos to save the world, satisfy his woman and fix her leaky kitchen sink.
OK, I made up those last two, but in “Iron Man,” which came out last weekend, the rest is true. Tony Stark scored big time with the Audi R8 as his automotive soul mate; the car paired perfectly with his high-tech, high-speed, futuristic lifestyle and his big, bold personality. The R8’s presence in this movie made sense and wasn’t as obnoxious as I’ve seen product-placement be in other movies. I just wonder which Audi would be most suitable for Stark’s assistant — and source of romantic tension — Pepper Potts, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. Maybe a 2008 Audi A4, batting its feminine LED eyelashes at Stark.
What is your automotive soul sister — that one vehicle that says absolutely everything about you, your personality, your style and your priorities? Let us know in the Comments section below.

Volvo C30: distinct, unique, a little off beat, functional during the day and sexy at night.

My dream self - Aston Martin DB9
My real self - Saab 9.3, a little different, a lot of fun, yet pretty down to earth (except for the "born from jets" part).

The R8 wasn't offensive product placement, the Q7 on the other hand,,,
But I understand they had to add that scene at the last minute becuase they couldn't wreck the R8 like they wanted too for a stunt scene.

Oh - I totally forgot about that scene with the Q7 with the family in it. That was pretty blatant. You're right!
