Maserati GT, Audi R8 V8 or GT-R??

So - time has come for another upgrade - i want to sell the SLK55 and get into something else. Need some opinions from members or if you can relay feedback from owners of the cars below. I think my heart & head just wants a good car with great styling. Not looking for all out performance (GT-R would have taken a place in my garage long ago - and i have my E36 Supercharged M3 to give me the speed fix now and then).

I just love the gorgeousness that is a Maserati GTS. However, An Audi R8 V8 is close competition - v10 would have been a hands down choice, but the price point puts it out of the equation. I'm buying to use as a daily driver. I want the car to feel & look special & not worried about 0-100 or L/100km. So what do you think then? All of the following in black, preferably blacked out.

Maserati GTS
Audi R8 V8
Nissan GT-R
Porsche 996 GT3 / Turbo or 997 Carrera 4S
Aston Martin Vantage V8

EDIT: Whats sad about this list?? BMW doesn't have a car i can consider!


You can suggest something else ... just gathering some input to decide. Photos of each in a state of tune, which is what i will end up doing....
