Yes, they are both fantastic cars at what they do. If you want something that you can daily drive or just turn the key and put the gear selector in D, then you stick with the Bentley. If you are chauffering the wife/girlfriend or you like to take long rides, Bentley all day.

If you love Italian passion, mechanical noises and a roaring V10, sitting so close to the floor you feel that you are a part of the car, then Gallardo. It is 2 totally different experiences. You HAVE to test drive a Gallardo since it is an extreme opposite of the G.

I test drove both and ended up getting a G.

I plan to add a Bentley next year as a daily driver.

The G is great for weekend car. Power between the two are similar but G will track must flatter where as the Bentley sits too soft. If the Bentley you are looking at is modified nicely, perhaps it will deliver a flat corning experience which is nice.

I've had both and agree with what's been said. The Bentley offers flash, comfort and convenience. The Gallardo offers looks (gets way more attention than Bentley),sound and passion. Pick your poison. Bentley is a great daily driver, but if you already have a nice daily driver then the Gallardo is tough to beat as a weekend, fun car.

Get the Gallardo, better engine, sound, looks and it's a Lamborghini. I know that it's not that simple and other costs and considerations come into it but you should definitely go test drive the Gallardo and see what you think.

I've had them both and owning a lambo is like being a rock star but gets old after a while. People screaming as you ride by. Girls getting your phone number at stop lights...etc...

Lambo is ***** out HP but tough to drive everyday. I tried to make the lambo my daily but its just too impractical.

If you never owned a lambo, you need too because its something you'll never forget. No other car directly inject your veins with testosterone instantly. Perma-smile when you hit the high rpms.

Are you exaggerating the whole "numbers at traffic lights" or was it actually like that?

It's even worse than that. Every and any girl you meet will require insemination upon contact. I've had older women come up to me at gas stations so I can meet their daughters.

The bad part about owning the car is you will never know if the girl is in to you, or the car.... But does it matter, really...

gallardo is small and cramped... i barely fit and i'm 5'10". if you are comfortable driving it, then i dont see why not. all that stuff like noise is part of the fun. you wouldn't be asking if you weren't considering it.

You barely fit and you're 5'10". Good grief! How much do you weigh?

I'm 6'3" and I fit just fine.
