Poll question: Which would you rather buy?
The 2011 Bentley Continental GTC Speed Convertible:




The 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia:




The 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe:




The 2012 McLaren MP4-12C Coupe:




The 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost Sedan:




The 2012 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle:




The 2012 F-35 Lighting II:





The reason I ask is an article dated a few days ago on defensenews.com breathlessly alleged that U.S. Military Sees JLTV Development Gain Speed. Oh goody. :(

2. The F-35 is a bargain, but the LTV probably gets the best fuel mileage of the bunch
Does it come in metallic green?

16. The $243,000 JSF, no question.
I'll take 1000 of them at that price, then sell them to the USAF for $100 million each (less than half the actual cost). Win-win!

17. Sorry, but...
the only suitable option for where I live would be the military vehicle.
