For some reason Gil, I couldn't see you driving an M6.

Size and cost aside, you have to decide how much attention you want on the street. BMWs are fairly common in urban areas and usually don't attract much attention. Bentleys are not common and will be noticed. If you really want something completely different but fun for the fall/winter, try a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

I hate American cars. I know all about attention on the street driving the Lambo a few times a week. Can get annoying but with blacked out windowns on the Bentley no one would run to me and ask questions like they do with the Gallardo.

I drove a CGT, i loved it! However, with my own $$$, my loyalty is with BMW.

I had the opportunity to drive 3 CGTs and 2 M6s on the same day

They both have their good and bad traits, but the CGT is just such a refined automobile, and would be great for daily driving purposes.

Well you are talking about a car that is under 100k (based on the deal you get) to a new GT which is close to $200k taxes,tags, out the door.

Car to car comparison i like the M6 since the GT is very heavy but I am very biased to BMW obviously.

I say get the M6 and pocket the extra 100k for another car or big purchase.
Good luck!
