Aston Martin or Lamborghini??

if you won a car lottery and were given the choice between aston martin DB9 or the lamborghini gallardo, which would you choose??

p.s. you have to stay with the choice you make...meaning no selling for money, or trading for another car...

i personally would choose the DB9...my dream car!

Superleggera or regular Gallardo? DB9 vert or coupe, or the new DBS since they stopped making the DB9 I believe?

regular coupes for both...and i think they still make the DB9...the DBS is a limited edition car, with only 200 being made each year...plus, the price is $100, 000+ more than the gallardo so i didnt think it'd be an even comparison...

That's actually a really tough call. I'd probably go Lambo for the performance and rawness (which I love) but it can't touch the DB9 in terms of class and pure British cache.

why would you sell it?...the OP just said you just won the lottery and you're using the money to buy a lambo or a db9....

and now you're selling it again?...would that be like a 10K lost?

Another vote for the DB9

The Gallardo is tempting but my heart says DB9 for some reason. It might have a little to do with that excellent 'DB9 vs Train' Top Gear special

DB9 without question. Lambos are way more common, and i'm a ferrari fan and a porsche lover. My "supercar" will not be awd, nor will it be fashion over function like the gallardo. Thus, if i'll just go with the classiest and most comfortable of the two. Aston Martins are classics. Lambo's seem to give off that "look at me" vibe while Astons just say "I know what I want"

The DB9 is my dream car. I've never seen a car that caught my eye like that one. Pure sex.

I had the same discussion with a friend just a few weeks ago. I would go for the Lambo because I like the sportiness while he likes the Aston because it has class (which I agreed). COme to think of it I would love to have both and if not a Ferrari 599GTB will do just fine (lol).
