I saw one on the road the other day. Ironically, it overtook me at the same
time a Countach did. Two opposite ends of automotive styling. One,
breathtakingly attractive, the other as ugly as a hatful of arseholes.

Can you guess which one is ugly?

No, because I think they *both* look very attractive. Beats me.

Yep, the Lambo.

Does the Lambo have plug 'n play nose cones too?

I see the 300C as a sinister Al type vehicle, even moreso seeing I would
have to steal one to make it more "affordable". $53K apparently. That's a
lot of Vodka. What buyers such as I have to ask themselves is whether
they would like $53K of Vodka and an old Lada or the 300C. It's not a
difficult choice for me :-)

I saw one in the flesh today for the first time. Awesome amount of
presence. Looks like a Bentley.

Yeah, I've had the same experience with the couple I've seen in my area too.

Quite an impressive looking car.

My wife thought the people down the road had bought a Bentley and parked it
outside. I can see how she made the mistake.

I am thinking about replacing the Calais with a 300C V8 late next year.
Unless the VE Calais really impresses me.

Does anyone know when additional model variants are likely in Aust.? ie the Touring (wagon) and the diesel? Also, there's a 425hp version called the SRT-8 in the US which sounds awesome.

I don't mind the 300C, might be a nice change from the FalCom type
stuff on the road Dan, I'd say go for it purely on the uniqueness/road
presence :)

I'd doubt that it would be any worse than a Falcadore.

Unless they changed the suspension to suit then it will handle like the
first Ford Exploders did
Wallowy and spongy

I saw one yesterday, wonder how they go in the visibilty stakes
the windows look quite small with that chop-top look that Chrysler have
gone for

I really like that chop-top look. What do they cost?
