Just look at it! It is a timeless beauty like the NSX. The only question is its reliability. I'm willing to take that risk. I bought the service manual months ago and have read it from cover to cover so I'm pretty familiar with the car.
Lambos (except the Muira) are like cartoon characters. They have an initial "wow" factor but quickly get tired to look at. Reliabilty is a joke, service and parts costs are astronomical.
Ferraris are pretty to look at but they are very feminine. How can you sit in one and not feel like Pee Wee Herman? They are also notoriously unreliable and cost an arm and a leg to keep running. The fact that they come from the factory with a fire extinguisher in the passenger compartment should be your first clue to stay away. Plus the dealer network is the textbook definition of scumbags.
Porsches are just plain ugly. Not to mention the fact that they are as common as streetwalkers on 8th Ave. I'd buy the Brooklyn Bridge before I'd buy a car with the motor hanging out over the rear axle.
I buy a car to DRIVE it. My first exotic was a 1986 Lotus Turbo Esprit and I drove it 40,000 miles the first year. It had numerous problems and after a year I simply got fed up. My first NSX was a new 1993 which was like a gift from God back in 1993. I was living in NYC at the time and insurance, garage and personal reasons forced me to sell it a year later with 45,000 miles on the clock.
Since then I've suffered the pain of ownership of a Diablo, a Viper and a another Lotus. I'm going to take a shot with the Ford GT since it is a relatively simple machine compared to the over-engineered crap coming out of Europe these days. We'll see if history repeats itself.
At least there's a new NSX on the horizon.
