It’s Friday. Show me something Prodigal

Given it’s Friday, we thought we’d treat you to something Prodigal.
You will have no doubt already seen the intense and self-righteous bickering The Guide has resorted to over which car deserves to be crowned evo’s Car of the Decade.
Where Straight-Six salutes the ground-breaking nature of the Nissan GT-R in terms of design, performance and price – while remaining a scintillating drive – The Prodigal Fool cites heritage, timelessness and impeccable gravitas as the reasons for standing by the 911 GT3.
Truth is, most of us would buy either of these cars with our eyes first and foremost, with only the hard-core enthusiasts giving priority to the manner in which these monsters kick and claw at the power envelope.
We’ve scoured the Net to find you the very best pics of both rides so that you can make your own mind up and tell us which does it for you. Devour them both after the break.
Sure, it’s brutal, but fascinating. And when was the last time the Japanese really delivered something so authentically “theirs” in terms of car design? Today’s Japan never looked prouder and more unapologetic when draped over an automotive frame. And downright fierce!

I would expect nothing less from a deliciously entertaining show that just happens to be about cars…
Lard-ass Clarkson is nothing if not predictable.

I’d have to go with the GT-R. Though the 911 is a true classic, I find the design somewhat lazy, it’s simply not exciting enough anymore.

I was just watching a re-run of Top Gear’s season finale. You know what they voted the Car of the Decade?
The Bugatti Veyron.
