You guys represent the extremes and I feel like I fit in between
Again, it's the whole package which has to be attractive.
The badge (incl. history, image, etc.) is important as much as the specs for me.
For example, the Opel speedster is a great car (even better now with 200hp for only 850kgs) but it doesn't sell bc it's an Opel.
Same with the Phaeton and to a lesser extent the Avantime, good cars but for the same price, you'd get an A8, S-class or BMW 7 wouldn't you? (or a 5 series instead of the Renault)
now if the car is really exectionnal, ie, if VW would have produced its W12 for the same price as the 360, humm, I'd call it a tough call.
I think Donckervolke has done a good job with the Gallardo, but again, I have to see it for real first.
A friend of mine went to Geneva and told me it was stunning especially the Black version with the engine glass cover.
Interior is definitly german influenced but so is the finish (Audi is world leader in that respect)
As for the proportion, it's spot on, which will make it very town friendly. (It's actually shorter than a 996
but it doesn't shock according to my friend).
A Gallardo for the week, and a Murci for the week ends, I like Lambo's thinking
Fanch.
