FYI:

I saw the GT-R for the first time live at the NY Auto show last weekend. Yeah, it's fast and for the $70K or so A LOT of bang for the buck, but pretty it ain't. I wonder where these guys went to auto design school....

Then, my 13 year old son and I wondered over to the Lambo display with 2 Mercies and the gorgeous new LP-560 Gallardo, and the difference was just .... stunning. Solely from a design perspective, the Lambos just grab your eyeballs....

Then, I ran into Richard Mok from Bergen County Lamborghini, and he graciously allowed us into the display area to sit in the cars. You never saw a 13 year old kid with a bigger grin!

I don't have my Gallardo yet, but it is definitely on the near horizon. I've had the pleasure of driving the G on a few occasions, and there is just nothing like it - and I've driven a ton of different cars.

Hard to explain, but you either love these cars... or you don't.

But I do agree - you want to go fast, get the GTR. You want class and the status that goes with it - buy a Lambo.
