why should i buy a f430 over a gallardo? vice versa...

to me, the level of performance and luxury are high enough to satisfy my tastes..
both cars are pleasing to the eye in exterior and interior aspects.. WHY would you choose one over the other? not just "i like the yellow in the lambo better than the ferrari" cause thats debatable... i notice that the lambo is a bit cheaper, but at 150k, whats another 20k?

You wont be buying a 430 unless you already ordered one. Ferrari has already sold their production for the next 4 years, so your choices are going to limited to....the Gallardo. Of course, I'm sure some people who ordered their 430s will undoubtably sell them on the open market, but at a healthy premium above the list price. So if you feel comfortable paying a large chunk over list price for ownership and bragging, rights more power to you.

I would choose the Gallardo, simple because I think it looks better.

Personally, there is no way I would push the handling limits on either car. Therefore, the car's looks is a more important factor for me.

If you can get your hands on one, F430 hands down. The Gallardo seems like too much Audi, not enough Lambo...

Neither. Supercars and exotics are by and large overrated IMO. It's hard to justify spending more than $60,000 or so on any car.

If I had to pick one I'd prefer the Ferrari. Lamborghinis do nothing for me.
