CL 65 or Lamborghini Aventador?

If one would give you a new one of your choice FREE, which one would you prefer and why?

I personally think the Aventador is by far the sleekest Lambo produced to date, the stock power and performance stats are amazing! I personally would refrain myself to fall in love due to it's potential obscene maintenance costs!

Your thoughts?

I will buy a Lambo the first time they win an F1 race. Farm equipment manufacturers should refrain from making sports cars. I jest.... sort of.
As a supplier to the Lambo, Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes dealerships - I can say that current owner Audi (VW by proxy) should be ashamed of themselves. The build quality of those cars is absolutely hideous (but improving very very slowly). Just get into a Gallardo (I know lower end), and drive one for a few days like I do all the time.... junk, pure junk. The Merci is not much better. I would except the lower quality IF they could prove that they are pure heritage and racing thoroughbred - but alas, the only thing they can show heritage of is a tractor gene pool. All the other marques can at least show wins and losses, victory and defeat, and track tested technology.....
Let the flames begin.

2 completely different cars intended for 2 totally different buyers/clients.

I guess it depends on where you are in your life currently. For me it would be the CL65.

Lamborghini for sure. It has a longer updated look. Better resale value than Mercedes. By far unique and gets more looks, no comparison with the CL.

FYI
My Lambo > my 360 or 430 that I've had extended seat time in. To each his own Ferrari guys and Lambo guys never seem to agree but I've had both. Ferrari horrible for reliability and maintenance costs

Now that's funny right there!
He also has in his signature that he owns a Range Rover
talk about pure JUNK.
Lamborghinis are some of the best looking cars out there.

An 03 rover is a BMW X5 with different clothes (and tougher frame). Nice car when it costs only 9k for my wife to drive. Plus she loves to work on it when it does break.

By the numbers, it is supposed to be 0-60 by .1 seconds. However we have tried and tried to get it to hook up and can't get it to do it in under 4 seconds (supposed to to do 3.6) - however the 430 really delivers above 60. I can do 60-100 in about 3 seconds. Of course the CL is tuned, but can not put a dent in 430 handling and tracking. But the CL will deliver 120 MPH from Atlanta to Miami in great comfort and still punch it to pass (have to make that run all the time). My wife says "nothing like the thrill and sound of the 430 spider, nothing like the turbo punch in the CL"

Have your dealership seen a Aventador yet? I called the Ohio Lamborghini dealership, they'll get two in August! $300K+
