Before you guys even consider buying the XJ220's that are at that dealer call Lamborghini orange County for a full story on them. ( that is all the info I can give )

Is this like the time where you asked “Should I get a CGT or F40?†If so save us all the time and anxiety and try to get a deal on both of them!

I personally would never get the XJ220 because of one thing, its sound. Ewww. And I somehow dislike the traditional british electrics (ie never properly functional). Except for the outside, I think the XJ220 has aged a lot.
After watching this video (well worth watching, BTW), my opinion of the car went down quite a bit ...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...claren&pl=true

The EB110, I just love, so I can't offer an unbiased opinion

If you're after something really unique, perhaps a 550 Barchetta? Or an Aston Martin Virage 6.3? Zagato Vantage? Ferrari Venice? Porsche 959? Spyker? Caparo T1? Gumpert Apollo? MB CLK DTM? Lancia Stratos Stradale?
mmmh ... not sure even a single one of these is legal in the US ... damn.

So you like the CGT that much? If so that is great considering the initial BS that PNA put you through. Once again congrats on TWO beautiful cars.

Agreed, if it were me choosing, you cna always trade up an XJ220 and get 2 360 cs's if you wanted lol!! You have a more modern riding and feeling supercar a la CGT, your older more raw F40, go for the XJ220 man, you have many modern sports cars.

^ wait..wasn't the XJR-15 the "worst handling car of its time" according to jeremy clarkson, who isn't really an authoroative reference, but in all honesty it was the least flattering thing i've ever seen. If you can find the video on kazaa, it has an XJR-15 and then a comparison to the mclaren F1.

Xj220's and CS's go for about the same coin...Xj220's are maintenance intensive and have dated interiors (certainly have aged as gracefully as the f40)...but the exterior is awesome...and performance is fantastic...

CS is a future classic....

Oh wow, didnt realize they went for about the same money, hmm.. In that case tough choice, i would honestly take the CS now thinking about it for myself, you have both classic older sports cars and current, real tough decision?!

xj220 is something else. Seriously it took the Mclaren to "pip" it to the top of the pile. Yes it's old school and the steering wheel and wheels look goofy but it's the most amazing car ever from the UK in my opinion. too bad they never had the cash to do the 12 cylinder TT like they had planned. Instead it was a V6
