greatest car for the money!!! i dont think soo.... i would love to say porsche but not even them have the best bang for the buck. example, clio v6. but even the gt3 has better performance for money. best paint? i never paid attention to that really haha. but i think the paint quality is the same for just about all cars (in that class/price range). its no longer an italian brand as it is owned by audi. the interior isnt that nice either... rather plain actually.

hmmmporsche 4 me cos its the fastest i think, and although i LOVE the looks of the gallardo, its got 4WD, yes its more practical but damn this is a €200k sportscar, u dont buy that for practical reasons! and for the ferrari, its pretty, RWD, NA engine, but still it doesnt do it for me, dunno why. for some reason i like the spoilers and stuff of the porsche, although i usually h8 that kinda stuff.
and porsche is the best brand in the world IMO(together wit mclaren)

It still isn't a German car maker.
Did the Germans made the engine or is the technology from them? The factory is in Italy and the investors are German and the cars are made by Italian engineers/employees.

The 360 CS is a great car but I might have to choose the Gallardo. The Gallardo just seems to be more exotic for me. They are all great cars.

have you seen the interior of the Gallardo? I sat in one the other day. It is as far from exotic as could possibly be. It's not even as exotic inside as some $40k cars. If all you're looking for is exotic-ness for 200k i don't know that any of these are the right pick.

Actually Mercedes' parent company Daihmler(Benz) bought out Chrysler (they got rid of alot of the executives from Chrysler in the merger) So you could actually call Chrysler a German company at the rate these people are going.

Also I don't think that the SL55 AMG belongs in a comparison with the GT2, Gallardo, and the Challenge Stradale, the Ferrari should be the normal 360 if any.
