Lamborghini has introduced in India the Gallardo and Murcielago - two of the most desireable supercars. The point is: how many pockets are deep enough for such exuberance?

MAYBACH

Founded by Wilhelm Maybach in 1909, the company was originally known as Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH and was a subsidiary of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin/GmbH till 1918. The company's operation started by manufacturing diesel and gas engines for Zeppelins and later it graduated to building large and luxurious automobiles. Dead for a long time, Maybach was revived as a brand in the early 2000s with the production of Maybach 57 and Maybach 62. The numbers signify the length of the cars - 57 being 5.7 meters and 62 being 6.2 meters. The cars can be ordered over a video conference with the dealer and can be customized to suit the customer's needs. With hand-crafted finish and over two million equipment options, you can be sure that no two Maybachs will be same. The main competition that this marque faces comes from Rolls-Royce. This speaks volumes about the company and the cars.

2008 MAZDA3

Like the Jetta, the Mazda3 is another car that feels richer than its compact size suggests. Here the emphasis is on sportiness, not all-out luxury, but the dashboard's contrasting textures look suitable enough. The Grand Touring trim's perforated leather seats feel exceptionally rich for a $20,000 car, and with this trim you'll also get seat heaters and automatic climate control. Plus, Mazda's 2.3-liter engine should prove snappy enough to make it to work by 9.

VOLKS VOGAN JETTA SE

Premium features like one-touch power windows and mirror-integrated turn signals are the stuff of big-league luxury cars, and they put the Jetta a cut above a Civic or Corolla. Our luxury choice is the Jetta SE, which gets a moonroof, 16-inch rims, a 10-speaker stereo and heated leather seats. OK, it's faux leather, but we doubt your passengers will notice. If they do, you can play the animal-rights card — just don't do it while you're waiting in line for your burger at the fast-food drive-through.
