Gallardo of course.

The CL will depreciate as soon as you put your name on the application.

It's just a whole level ahead of the CL when it comes to the wow factor.

Thats kind true. The majority of ppl outthere do not know anything about cars, to them CL65 is just CL and just a MB at the end of the day, while lambo is lambo.

But ,if you do not care about the majority of the ppl. you just care about the ppl that knows about cars' opinions, and you like both cars , which one would be the one?

Gallardo. Never driven one but I've ridden one. The exhaust...OMG. And it's insanely nice in the inside too.

I have drove gallardo and cl65, they are both fun and here is what I think:

CL65
POSs:
- extrem luxury
- fast
- more space when needed
- sexy extrior
- Too much technology ( I love it )
- Great Entertainment system
- Lower Insurance

Cons
- Its MB at the end of the day (Lower class compered to Lambo)
- Horrible depreciation
- Alot of mainteness ( I heard)

Gallardo
POSs
- Its LAMBOOOOOOOO
- Super fast
- Sexy Extrior
- Fine Intriore

Cons
- Higher Insurance
- Track car not everyday driving kinda thing
- Alot Less Luxury than the CL
- No space at all if needed for more friends

Sure they both have 2 doors, but they serve different purposes. You can't drive your family around in a gallardo.

I'd still take the Gallardo. I'm a fan of having a car that makes my mojo twinkle. It's a track car that you can drive home at the end of the day. There are more than just straight line performance for me. I can always buy a mercedes...just not a Lambo

Gallardo is . Now, would you go with the spyder or the coupe?

The spyder is a bit expensive , but is it worth it or not?
