Look before you leap - or is that too much to ask for ?

Sounds like its just about what exotic/expensive car you are driving - without considering if its even justified for Indian driving conditions. And of course, for buying one of these cars, its already way beyond the "what car do I need" or "where am I going to drive it to" question. Its probably more about "does anyone else have this car yet", "is it exotic/expensive enough to turn heads with ooh's and aaah's".I think we should draw a line at some point where the exotic factor atleast justifies proper usage of the car. The Lamborghini can do 0-100 KMPH in 4.2 seconds and it does so when its only in its second gear!!! You probably dont ever need the remaining 4 gears in India. And how many know that its *Not* like a luxury sedan. These cars have a tight sport tuned suspension which is meant for excellent cornering. But that comes at the expense of a comfortable ride - the ride is rough on bumpy surfaces as most roads in India. (Granted that it has hydraulic shock absorbers, but they are for the bigger, harder bumps). The Accord and the Camry have much smoother rides on rough/bumpy surfaces because they have a softer suspension! And how abt maintenance? Think people, think !

Searching wrong places for that elusive fulfillment. The human soul is too great to ever get satisfaction from such vulgur spending.

the article is incorrect. not even the Audi S8(which is the most powerful of A8 series can do 0-100 in less than 5 seconds. It must be 0-60 time

The article is correct. The author is talking abt the Lamborghini (Gallardo) which can go 0-100KMPH in 4.2 seconds (which is 0-60MPH) "...like the fact that you can reach a speed of 100 in four seconds....Yes, that's how much time the Lamborghini takes to clock 100..."
