Default Which would you take?

There are two things I must ask.

1. Choose between who mid-engine supercars
a) Lamborghini Gallardo



or
b) Audi LeMans?



and second
2. Would you choose proposed Alfa 8C Competizione over Alfa Brera
It's probably safe to assume that Brera has been scrapped from production.
a)8C Competizione


or
b)Italdesign Brera



Personally I would choose Le Mans over the Gallardo...definitely.
But as for the Alfas...I just hope that both can be made.

I wonder...you do know that LeMans is a concept right?...although it is a proposed future model like the Alfa Competizione

By the way, the concept 8c comp has a 156 or 147 interior

yes I do but the engine was cardboard and so was the interior. It was at the First look for charity last Thursday night in Chicago I was thoroughly disapointed but I did spend alot of time sitting in the new Fords. worth the $150 believe me.

actually no...when they first showed it didn't ahve the interior finnished...that's why it had those black tinted windows...but I really doubt it will have an interior of another alfa...I'm sure Alfa has something special prepared for the 8C...

Back to the question...
I'd take the Gallardo over the LeMans...and I'd take the 8C over the Brera because I don't like the rear end of the Brera...

i will have to wait to see how the lemans will fianlly look like.but for now i would choose the le mans because i don't like the idea that the interior of the gallardo looks like the A8.......
i would choose the 8c because simply it is at least 100times more beautifull than the brera...

It should be a 8C with the front of the brera =P

well the audi le mans must be on the gallardo basis with the same engine but + twin turbo and 600+ hp, and even more beautiful than the gallardo to me . so if the audi wasn t just a concept and if it was a truly drivable car, I would defenitely chose the Le Mans...
concerning the 2 other cars, I would chose the brera which is really beautiful with the maserati 4200 engine even if it s less powerful than the 8C.

Same for me, for almost the same reasons. The Le Man has no italian passion in design. The 8C is much more beautiful than the Brera.
