Oh my.. that's beautiful.. images/smilies/ohmy.gif Stunning.. AMAZING !!!

I think the price suits it well for a car that has a limited production if 20..
Think about it, if they offer such a high price then that money can go into developing the next car that Lamborghini can start to build.

But if they do change it and offer more than 20, then price should definatley come down.

Don't worry, they will all be heading to Dubai. No one else is stupid enough to fork over that kind of cash for that car.

Waaaay to messy, I like the head-on view of the front, the profile and the interior minus the gauges. Everything else is...well look at the rear end.

With the Veyron, in addition to the mind-blowing performance of the thing, you actually get a really good-looking car as well.

It looks more like a prop from a movie than real car. For some reason I'm reminded of this:

http://www.phyrefile.com/pic/2007/09/10/batmobileresize.jpg

I understand it doesn't really look anything like that but but for some reason that's what I think of when I look at it. I'm assuming I'm alone on that, tho.

The back is FANTASTIC images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

I'm also inclined to agree with Blind_IO, I don't like the front styling, its way too much, way too over the top - but that IS how a Lambo is supposed to be.

Yeah - it def does have a bit of the Batmobile about it

This car looks absolutely amazing, but I'm still wondering why it has a million dollar price tag. There's no doubt in my mind this car will sell though. The styling is absolutely impeccable.

While most of it looks good, it just looks like they've given it to TVR for a day, nothing more, not worth the money, but for the rarity...

Many supercar legends were terrible and not valued, until a few years later, when there are just single figures left, then they rack up the auction numbers.

It looks like a space-going fighter plane from another planet! I liked it before I saw the back end, but now I love it!

I don't care what the vital stats are on it

I think the Lambo is good for young rich guys to show off on a weekend, and to impress some hot girls in the process. The Veyron is a bit more understated, and is more suitable for the mature car enthusiast. Think of a young guy with a lot of bling bling driving the Reventon, while a more mature guy wearing Loro Piana in the Veyron. Just my two cents.

EXACTLY! What a super car should be. Engineering perfectly, quality god, then give the design to a 10 year old so it can make you feel like 10 years old.
