The visibility and not being Ferrari are just the reasons I wouldnt buy a Lambo if I had the money.
stop being such a wuss

The TVR, probably the best looking car ever made. No other car is really good looking, I mean really really good looking except for the Tuscan. I'm not saying it's my favorite car, although its up there its just wonderfully crafted.

I have never met anyone that does not like the Tuscan's looks.
Yehhhhh right......I have respect for it....but somehow I don't think its quite the beauty of a Ferrari or Lamborghini...but then it shoudnt be considering its cost and manufacturing resources.

Fair enough....

But many people like a Ferrari and Lamborghini by default.

They are ignorant and like it because they are meant to be liked. Just like many people here in Australia think that Commodores and Falcons are the best looking car money can buy when simply they are not.

In Australia people have no idea what a Tuscan is. We only have one registered that i know of in the whole country and when i point it out to my friends they are spellbound by its looks and sound. A ferrari just doesnt quite do that, a lambo on the other hand does :shock:

TVR may be cheap but they do make a mean car for that kinda money

I used to have a Lotus Esprit before I got into Ferrari's...and I still say its one of the best cars I have ever had and still looks pretty good after all this time....

The Lotus has the performance of most Ferrari's but I cant describe in words what you get extra with a Ferrari or Lambo....accept its better in almost every aspect, brakes, handling (the Lotus was very very good as well), SOUND, heritage etc I also know I could never go backwards to anything else now....this is all based on personal ownership and not magazine test figures of course....

Sounds great. I just wish they did a Ferrari special. I always loved Lambo. Back in the days of Need For Speed 1 the Diablo was my favorite car. I really got into Lambos, but after playing NFS2 and seeing the F50 and 355, my favorite cars became Ferraris. Still I love Lamborghini, and this show is gonna be great.

Hey Everyone, I'm new to the forums. But, getting back to the discussion at hand, I LOVE Lamborghinis. Especially the Countach. I have seen them in person and I have heard the sound of the v-12 and its the greates sound on the planet!!! The Countach has to be the one of the greatest sports cars on the planet! Hopefully, one day, I would like to buy one! Lets keep our fingers crossed!

They did do a ferrari special a long time back. Was a 2 part special on top gear.

I even offered a copy of it over on the request offer forum.
