...don't really understand your point completely

as a 916 owner you should understand why someone like more the pre audi cars,
it is the same thing as a 916 VS R1, the R1 is 4x times more reliable and faster but someone preferes the good old feelings and design of old V2 Dukes and even the 916 to later 999

i know the gallardo is a better car, as 999 is better than 916, but i still like diablo, countach and miura more: they are more lambo in the way the 916 is more ducati, design has a lot to do with it but it is not the only thing

p.s. i can't think buyng a lambo to travel, more to have fun on a twisty road
