What you say makes sense.
I have said before that had I lived within 100 miles of the factory I would almost certainly have kept my Aero 8.
In the end however quality and reliability were the main driving forces.
In truth if looking for a £150k sports car I would buy an R8 GT. For me the quality, reliability and most importantly the service both at a local and national level from Audi is top notch.
Please don't think that I am just having a shot at MMC for the sake of it.They are many decent and hard working people at the factory including the likes of Steve Morris and Mark Baldwin. However the pedal car has been a real eye opener - how it can be returned with the handbrake not reconnected (having been disconnected for the repair it seems) is beyond me and colours my view completely.
The other areas that MMC need to address apart from QC are aero (please excuse the pun but most supercars are designed in a wind tunnel) and stability control.
