Would you get a Lambo G or something else for $100k?

I agree with you regarding the appearance - if you look at my posts over the last few years (don't waste your time) i've always contested that the Gallardo is and always was very MEH.
The LP is such an improvement - I'm shocked how much more i like it when it's fundamentally the same shape! Even so, i don't think it would cost much to get an LP front and rear bumper to improve the looks (i know you may need to change more than that to get the complete look but that would be enough for me).

This has turned into my Lambo is faster than your Pcar, no it isn't, yes it is. 
Both are fast enough for me, it'll come down to the driving experience, looks, sound, prestige, and personal opinions. I wish I could keep both.
I would get rid of the 997. I've been thinking about SC'ing it, but then I just think to upgrade instead of spending another 10k on it.
Look at it in Balloon White!

I am going to get some heat for this but I have had a number of Gallardo's in inventory and they are unreliable junk. I put a clutch in one at 3k mi. and a belt went bad on a 5k mi car. If you like dealing with b.s. buy Lambo. Also, I am 6 3' and can't get a comfortable seat position in a G car. Porsche! I would buy a 2007 GT3 for $85-90k put a RS wing on it and have money left over. Just my opinion.

) but everything I'm reading tells me the Lambo (although no Honda) is a lot more reliable and costs less to maintain than say a Ferrari F430.Also I believe the 06 and new clutches are a lot more durable. Can some Lambo owners chime in on this?

Really? What year was the G? I've heard the opposite, aside from the e-gear issue on early models. The height thing is not an issue for me (unfortunately ) but everything I'm reading tells me the Lambo (although no Honda) is a lot more reliable and costs less to maintain than say a Ferrari F430.

I've heard that the biggest problem is wiping that sh*t eating grin off your face every time you drive it or even think about it
