Myself and my brother have debated this very question on numerous occasions, usually when we happen to see a new 911 and each have different opinions on this. He loves the look, always has and to him it's handling issues aren't such a problem as he would never be pushing it hard enough. Me, I just don't see the big excitement that people get over the 911, there is much better cars out there from other brands and it could be argued that even in it's own ranks there is two better driving cars.

For me at it's money the R8 steal the show, it looks superior, it handles superior and it's got a badge that doesn't say 'snob' and if you don't care about brand image the GTR is probably better value than both of them.
I think a lot of people can let supreme fit/finish and feel slide for something that has more pop and a step down in fit/finish and feel.
