What was the last thing Lamborghini released ? The Reventon.
Enough said.

Yes, enough said indeed -No more blasphemy!
Of all the things I have ever disagreed with on this forum, this might take the cake. A Kia supercar? I don't even know what that means but it makes me want to cry. I would vote the 599 one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen in my life!
I can handle the GTR's looks. I think Ferraris look better, but what looks better than a Ferrari?
As for Lambo, here's the difference between Lamborghini and Ferrari (according to Jeph). Ferrari's design stands the test of time while Lambos' fade with the season. To me, they are fad cars. I think while they look good right now, they constantly chase "cool." I'm not calling them (the current production ones) ugly, I'm dying to have one. I just think they don't have the looks that stand the test of time. The looks of the Countach and Diablo make me think "I remember when those were cool." -Much like if I saw some one wearing a shirt with a huge Tommy Hilfiger logo on it.
Reventon? Put me down for a Veyron... I want some record breaking GO with my $1.4 million SHOW.

Too bad there's no manual transmission.
Goes to show Nissan wanted to put performance numbers and impressing people ahead of driving pleasure.

I respectfully disagree about it looking like a Kia supercar. I agree with Jeph. One of the best looking Ferraris.

Holy **************** man your lucky! I love the GTR, ever since I saw it as a concept. I don't think it looks ugly, in fact its much better looking to me then the Corvette.
Can't blame it for being plastic, Nissan and other Japanese manufacturers tend to put in plastics to keep cost down, which in the GTR it is. $90k for a Enzo-fast car!

I actually quite like the look!
Saw an imported one a few weeks back (not available here yet sadly), and up close, it's lines are rather nice IMHO anyways.
When they hit our shores (sometime next year?), my business associate will be entertaining the idea of coughing up $160K for the weapon  .....
