Because assuming I could afford the Lambo, I wouldn't care about longevity or reliability...But to each his own...
My issue is that a Lambo is just a pretty supercar. It's just built to be expensive. Meanwhile the 'Vette has a long prestigious history of being a terrific racecar. The engineering and design in the Vette is a result of miles and miles of racing development, so it's a faster, more reliable, cheaper to operate, easier to drive, etc, etc, etc machine vs. the Lambos.

Sure the newer Lamborghini's are impressive machines, but they're just impressive in the way that the Veyron is impressive: on paper and on the check-book. They're the supercar equivalent of 22" rims... all bling, little bite.
