    Sports Cars $200K +

    As promised: The power of the Gallardo? The precision of the F430? The elegance of the DBS? Or the sophistication of the R8 V12 TDI?

    Note: This does not include the Gallardo Superleggera or F430 Scuderia.

    I like neither...

    I'd probably choose a DBS or perhaps a Gallardo Spyder (if possible) out of this list.

    I would choose the Aston Martin DBS.

    BTW, I don't think the Gallardo and F430 cost over $200,000. I think that they are around 150-185ish. With options it could be pushed over 200.

    I know the F430 is over $200k with all the options...

    Right you are. Every time I price out either car is comes to 210-220 so I assumed base was over $200K. However, with the dropping value of the dollar I suspect both Ferrari and Lambo will raise their prices soon. Not to mention none of us know for sure what the R8 V12 will go for; getting people to pay Porsche Turbo prices for an Audi is one thing, getting people to pay Ferrari prices is something quite different. My prediction is the car will start at $180K, but with options most of them will end up over $200K.

    I'll go with the F430. But the DBS is a close second.

    DBS is in the lead for me, just edging out the F430. the TDi R8 is..interesting, but a bit of an unknown

    It's not British if it doesn't break down several times in an hour.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    The F40 would be out of place in this poll

    For me, the F430, stock or Scuderia, it's a great looking car with an awesome sound
