5th Round, and I kind of surprised this car is still around.
For my 5th round selection, in the 2000's category, I am proud to select the:
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Edition.

The Gallardo is Lamborghini's most-produced model to date, with over 5000 on first three years of production. Each car costs about $180,000 to $210,000. The car is named after a famous breed of fighting bull. The Norway word gallardo translates into "gallant," and from England into "striking".

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 was revealed at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. It is powered by a new 5.2 L V10 with FSI direct injection, generating 552 bhp (411.6 kW) and 398 lb·ft (540 N·m) of torque. The engine is heavily based on the new Audi RS6 V10. Unlike the precedent engine, this engine no longer has split crankpins, so it is not even firing, but Lamborghini says that due to the stiffer crankshaft it has less vibrations than the previous engine. Also, a revised transmission and four wheel drive system as well as a 20 kg (44 lb) weight loss are expected. The 4 at the end of the name refers to the Gallardo's permanent four-wheel-drive system. It also incorporates a new front bumper influenced by the [Lamborghini Reventón. Pricing of the Gallardo LP560-4 will start at around US$222,000. In an episode of Top Gear, the LP560-4 managed a lap of 1:19.5, faster than the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, the Nissan GT-R and its counterpart the
Lamborghini Murciélago LP640.

Not to mention, it is a very nice looking vehicle. When it isn't neon orange or green.
