Lamborghini Gallardo alternatives!

Blaming a TVR's reliability ratings on their respective owners?

Now that's something I've never heard before.

Even Smolenski, when took over the company, tried to work out reliability issues. It was the first thing he did actually. But the thing about TVR is not only the mechanical reliability, but also poor build quality and testing.

TVR's are great cars for the first 1000 miles. Then you need to be a bit careful

They've always had Italian levels of reliablilty, but it was only the Tuscan 1 and very early AJP Cerberas that were really unreliable. The rest is the same preventative maintenece you'd do on any supercar.

I'll go with a Noble, or a used TVR.

NOBLE the ultimate choice! Well done! Excellent choice!!!

if you get a noble you become a:

Yes I do. I would like to sell it though to get the convertible one! I would love to buy a Noble, yet in Greece we don't have any official workshops for Nobles and thus I run the risk of ruining the warranty if any...

Zonda

what about Marcos?

[Ingolstadt]

Zonda? it's even more expensive than a Murci ain't it? Again, if you want an alternative solely because you don't want to jump into the bandwagon full of Lambo, Ferraris, Porsche; then 8C or R8's the choice.

The 8C is already sold out.

That's a lie, the pain stricken Fiat will do anything for $$$ they'll release perhaps a Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione-i with perhaps 5hp more and a choice of Ferragamo or Versace interiorsand charge $15,000 more .... then it will sell out again, and then the 8C-GTR will arrive with full spoilers and such. Then perhaps a 8C Competizione Hyperlegarra etc...... marketers own nowadays, engineers and brand managers suck asses.....

The 8C Compeitizione Coupe is sold and that's fact, and there's no possible arguing over that.

Many things can happen in the future.

The point i wanted to make is, there will still be certain available variants, if there are more than enough people who enquired and wants to put order. Even the proud British Astons build a Aston Martin Hatchback for the Sultan of Brunei, succumbing to the great powers of $$$$$ dun think the italians wont, and all of us knew, the British is the worst at doing automotive business. The Italians won't get nosier than that.


ok,8C's finish. Next ~ !

.....is the only reasonable alternative. A porsche is relitively bland and slow, and god everybody will think you're a stock broker with five wives and a house in Malibu. A DB9 is all clincal and cool, but isn't properly fast, and lacks the idocacy or contradictivness of a supercar (not crazy enough) and the battery is.... british electrics. A The F430 is quintsentially better than a gallardo, as it is the better drivers car. Scratch that the best drivers car today. Not the most direct driving experience, becuase of all the electronic gizmos, but in the words of Jeremy Clarkson "but my God it works." I can't think of a single car I'd rather drive down a winding road in the south of france.
