I just figured that the green one was the main one of discussion...

I think like 75-100k fully loaded from what Ive seen, never checked to be exact

60hp added to a 580hp doesnt make much of a difference to warrent that price

The prices are getting ridiculous. I did a little research on DuPont Registry and found:

Brand new LP640 Roadster ~ $400-$480k (yes, that much of a range)
Brand new LP640 ~ $350-$380k
2005 Roadster ~ $260-$320k
2005 Coupe ~ $220k-$280k
Older cars getting down to around $200k

So a new roadster for more than twice the amount of a used coupe? I think I'd take the used one

VERY nice! I got to see a Verde Ithaca Murcielago at Lotus of Atlanta two years ago and have really really really (that much!) wanted one ever since. Not a fan of the Murcielago roadster but I'll let it slide on account of the great taste in color

It's close to, but still a world different from, my Krypton Green Elise...

I will definitely have a VI Murcielago ONE day.

-Touring package
-Lifestyle paint (Krypton Green)
-Hardtop

I've seen an 03 Murci go for about 150...

Wasnt wrecked or anything.

Very cool car. Murcis are some of the best looking modern cars IMO. Even though the desighn is over 5 years old it still holds quite a prescence.

+1 to that

5 years is considered old now?

F40s are about 20 years old.. they still have presence
A Cord 812 is 70 years old and has a huge presence on the road
Actually I had to double check my math on that... I can't believe that lots of 50-70 year old cars are MUCH better looking than modern cars - so much for the theory of evolution

I'm going to have to go with Andrew on this...

When it comes to Automotive design, function fully integrated into the form never goes out of style.

Carla's car does indeed look super hot with the green body on black wheels. From the Murci's I've seen, I'd say they do look the best with the more outrageous/unconventional colors. But, I have to admit, I wasn't crazy about the light blue they were lining up with at the Detroit show.

I think they would have had a much better display with Yellow, Green, and Orange...

Are you insinuating that the Blue stinks? Sure it was the color or your release in it?
