By the time you decided, both cars have taken off so fast and you're left at the altar all by yourself.

I didn't say the Poopdick wasn't hot...

Like srika said, it was amazing at first in the renderings (?) I'm talking 10/10. But now it's like 9.5/10.

I like the Zonda way more than the Huayra, actually

Interesting. It's probably the best-looking Ferrari in their fleet right now, IMO. But, taste is all relative. Just so long as you don't think the TLX or RLX is better-looking, I suppose I'll let it slide.



And, I agree nothing beats the Zonda.

While it may be the case that neither the TLX nor the RLX are better looking than the list of cars being discussed, it is almost certain that both Acura models have superior ground clearance, best-in-class A/C vent placement, and would smoke the LaFerrari, the P1, the 918, the Huyara, the Zonda, and the Agerra in a 0-60 due to their superior all-season tires.

Don't bash the TLX or RLX, guys. We'll be called jilted lovers, Acura haters, etc. And it'll have nothing to do with how the car looks, because that's totally subjective and doesn't matter when buying cars.

Until they actually build the TLX and offer it for sale: vaporware

I'd almost agree except I think the F12 is the best looking car in the lineup right now. I would probably take it over the LaFerrari taking everything into consideration. Not like 730Hp is a slouch.

I would take an Aventador Roadster over a LaFerrari too, not much thought involved.

I mean, thinking from a "I want to own this car" feeling, not an investment.

^^^^^^ so I *think* I get it now Re: the lost appeal of the LaFerrari - it's the black treatments. the roof (missed that last time) - the wheels, and the mirrors.

here is a pic I found with red roof and silver wheels - and it does look better to me - can we deduce the current fashion trend with the multi-millionaire-billionaire crowd is the black treatments?
