Default 2010 masrati gran turismo or 06 lamoborghini gallardo

Which one wou you take and for what reasons. Considering buying either of the two as soon as I graduate from tech. Which is a few years from now. But still which would you prefer. A newer 2010 masarati gran turismo or a 06 lamborghini gallardo.

Okay so after some feedback ive decided to rephrase the question. Would your rather have a older lamborghini gallardo or w.e replaces it in a few years or would you rather have a masrati gran turismo.

Maserati GT. Performance isn't as great but the looks are much more my style than the flashy-look-at-me Lambo Gallardo.

The V8 in the GT is marvelous sounding too.

Ya i know what you mean. But ever since I saw a Lamborghini its been a dream to own one. Like my whole life. And it seems like im getting very close to the possibility of owning one. But i agree with the whole show off thing. But these days northing makes me makes me smile like i do when im racing down a road. I guess that might just be me......

BTW the owners of this site need to add Masrati to the dictionary :P

it's maserati

maserati is more practical imho, but the lamborghini will be more flashy. also, 2010 maserati is newer so probably less problems to deal with compared to the 2006 gallardo

Although the Gallardo looks more sporty I would go with the Maserati as well. I dont know about buying an older Lambo. I am sure its been pushed a bit

The Maserati forsure. Gorgeous car inside and out. I'm not a fan of the older style Gallardo, I find the front bumper on the newer ones much more attractive than older ones. Of course if your looking at two cars of this caliber you should also consider an XFR, AMG black series, Any Aston model, Porsche turbo, Ferrari etc..

So it will be a 7-8 year old Lambo at that time and you will be just graduating?

Sure I am missing something here, but there has to be a better buy out there

If you're willing to spend over $100k for a supercar, why not get a brand new one?

There are plenty of Ms, AMGs, and RS's out there. You could get yourself an ISF, but not sure if you want a sedan or a coupe.

because none of those cars are like granturismo or gallardo?

even if you spend 100k to get a m6, i personally think the granturismo carries more prestige

That is true, but it will be a newer car.

He could always get 2 cars, like a used M3 and ISF.

How much is a new granturismo? $150k? $200k?

When he is ready to buy a granturismo a 2010 will be less then 75k

Hell a 3-4 year old quattroporte is 50-55k.

Is it one of those cars you want to own 4 years old though?
