no, I think that is a little more than what I would like to spend, or simply out of my range. esp with maintenance and services cost. Do not really know much about lambo, I need a daily driver, that is why I emphasize on reliability. And comfortable to drive in.

Are you looking for 2010 pdk vs 2010 V8V now? I was very happy with my 997 C2S for 3 years. The turbo is so much more aggressive in just looks alone than the C2 or 4s.

I think that is pretty much what it comes down to. How do u like the targa? I rarely see a targa around. Love the glass roof.

Look, its going to be your car so you can choose anything you want. I looked at the Aston myself before buying my current TT. After 8 P cars I was looking for something different but I did not want the headache of a high maintenance car like the Italians. The V-V8 is pretty but I got spoiled by the flexibility/modability of the TT and the build quality of the Porsche brand. Yes, in its own iconic way it is more common but good is good.
Good luck on your choice.
