CL65 or Gallardo ??
CL65 without thinking twice.
Why?
I'm 38 and unless I can afford more than one exotic (I consider the CL65 an exotic too) I need one that is "practical". The Gallardo is nice and a looker for sure and hauls a ss. But the Merc will get noticed by "those who appreciate what it is", haul just as much a ss and with a 3 additional occupants at that!
The new bodystyle is simply perfection: sexy, strong, sleek, and timeless as was it's prior model. I would also say the CL65 is even more rare than the Lambo. I got up close and personal with a Black/Black CL65 and this car is perfection and practicality on wheels... period!

If I was limited in choice between the two, I'd get the Gallardo...you only live once so might as well.
But for $200,000, I'd choose an Aston Martin DB9 around ~$190,000 w/ about 40ish miles. Then splurge on other things with the $10,000 or go cheap and get a Maserati GranTurismo.

I Looooooooooooooove Aston Martins but even it would have to be the ultra-rare DBS over the CL65. I don't think one can appreciate this car without driving it. Which i haven't but I have driven the last gen CL 65 and even it is crazy quick!

600+ hp & 700lbs/ft trq in a V12 twin turbo....vs 500hp V10? nuff said
CL65 FTW, I have always wanted big bulky coupes and I have always thought that the SC is somewhat of similar size. Boy was I wrong ...drove next to one (non amg) and the thing is freaking huge!!! I can see how a Gallardo may be more fun, but to me refinement is where it's at...plus Gallardo is the civic or supercars anyways, every rich guy has one
