As opposed to the beautiful soft touch plastic that comes in our Turbos and other p-cars. The CD holder/storage bins are a real work of art!

The interior of the 996 range looks much cheaper,than in the Gallardo.

Well as opposed to the Modena. Don't get me wrong, if I were in the market for either a Gallardo or Modena I would most likely take the Gallardo (for performance reasons) but the Modena interior seems to be a step up from that of the Gallardo. I like the Porsche interior but you are correct the the CD holder/storage bins/cup holders do need some work.

I don't care what color that car is...It is freaking hot!!!! As mentioned earlier, that reliability is not proven, I would like to think it is alot more reliable and practical than the other Lambo's and Ferrari's out there. To me it is unacceptible to pay over 200K for a car that is constantly breaking and falling apart ala Ferrari and the other Lambo's. Maintenance is allright. High maintenance is not...at least for me and that not only applies to cars...

I thought I was gonna be blown away by this car when I went to the LA auto show, but was throughly disappointed. Maybe it was because they had it next to the Murcielago, but I would rather have the 360 Spyder/575M, or even the 996 TT X50 than this car. I was just not impressed. It looks really small in person.
