Well that'd be difficult for me to say rnds...
I guess if I were in the market for a hypercar like the SLR, Zonda or CGT I'd have to drive each to make an informed decision. So for now I can only comment based on info I've read from motoring scribes in various publications.
As you're aware, I'm not much of a stickler for car-styling - I prefer function over form - but I can appreciate a beautiful car and whilst the CGT certainly is arresting, the SLR is on a different plane when it comes to breathtaking looks. I love it.

I think the SLR might just be a fabulously good "all-rounder" car that's usable in urban driving as well as for weekend country sorties... The CGT is very focused and driver-centric and, imo, is strictly a weekend car. Being a manual it must be the more interactive experience and in that lies the clincher for me. The CGT gets it but the SLR is closer than you would ever have expected from me...
