What I said in another thread, the SLR is just another fast MB with a beautiful exterior. The Murci is exactly what my personality wants from me.

BMW does not offer any inspiration in this field of motoring, therefore I will go with the Merc guys. The passion evoked in me by the SLR is overwhelming! It's a legend and a future classic, that timeless design ah....What a stunning beauty!

Now you know thats just ignorant.. They are two different characters, its just that the Lambo screams too crazy and cocky, but the SLR is that one bad boy looking car that doesnt look too dirty but fixes his hair straight back, and it is a very good performer indeed ...

SLR never impressed me from driving point of view. I believe the new SLS will be 10 times better than the SLR ever was. Anyway, SV has the essences of being a true supercar.

The SV is the very essence of Italian supercar passion and performance. Check out Driver's Republic and tell me that this natually aspirated V12 isn't one of the most epic sounding engines ever.

Once again, the SLR 722 hardly got a mention from the leading performance car publications. The SV on the other hand has already earned instant admiration and full marks.

ALI, please refrain from saying something's ignorant when all the person has done was comment on their own preference. And, judging from the opinion of people whose job it is to review supercars - it's not ignorant at all.

Since when was a Lamborghini cocky... ?
Lambo is only for the lovers,...
they who love sound (noise)
the people who love brutality
the people who loves danger
for those who love extremeness
for those people that really loves insane styling!
"The SuperVeloce is the very essence of Italian supercar passion and performance" - martinbo

Mercedes on the other hand is for that rich peoples
who loves to show wealth...
but my god Mercedes did a utterly fantastic
superb work with the SLR,
the SLR is a masterpiece on the road and it looks just WOW!
I can't belive how great that hypercar really is...
It goes as fast as a Lambo and it rolls as smoothley as a Rolls...
BUT it has no soul...

The Lamborghini was built to bring out the little boy inside you...
and shake him half to death.
- JC

The Mercedes was built to show to mercedes costumers
that mercedes can also be superfast and hyperish.

My conclution is that Lamborghini is not about the best
car it is about the best adventure / experience

Mercedes is about beeing best and please their fans/costumers

and I know what I want in a car I want the car to make
ME feel more than alive !!








Also Mr. ALI, I wouldn't feel cocky in a Lambo I would feel scared!
BTW do you know any car in this world that has a rev'ometer that says Girls? ^^ (only with z)
and btw I love your signature !! =D

Superb summary Julius, straight from hardcore heart of a Lambo fan. I salute you!
I for one would also chose the Lambo for all the reasons you stated

Oh and a quote from Richard Hammond "It's just looks extreme from EVERY angle" Hes just soo true!
