If you can’t get over the loud looks of a Lamborghini, then you shouldn’t be buying a Lambo in the first place.

@NMOFGM – you are a legend man! i’m pretty sure you hold the record for the biggest idiot to use a computer, followed closely by george w. bush sending an e-mail and asking where to put the postal stamps…

I’d race my Chevy Aveo super car against this thing. The Lambogreenie would break due to its poor craftsmanship upon acceleration. My Aveo would whoop its ass hands down. Slow and steady wins the race.

VW has been messing with their brands in ways I don’t like so, never know with those guys.

@Stix, ahhh ok, thanks. As a LOOONG time Lambo fan, I was about to be very sad.

Johnny, I sort of speak Ktulu. Let me try:

“Ilike da color
gamiluy gauy is da best dhgpow.”

I think he’s trying to say that he likes the color, and that Family Guy is the best show.

Or is that gambling gay is the best dogpow?

@aesir

I never said that they weren’t building a successor. I just simply heard on Top Gear that they were ending the production of current Gallardos.

By: aesir

aesir — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 20:29:11 +0000

@stix, huh what where? Are they NOT planning a Gallardo successor? Did I miss this on LLN?

Now I want to see the Estoque hit production. Its expected to be cheaper than the Murci.

NNTFGM: 95% of the time, a sh!tty car.

This Lambo looks great, I love every bit of it, I think its my second favorite Lambo after the Diablo.

Ok ktulu. You’re going to have to try a little harder. There is no word even remotely close to “dhgpow”.

How many different versions of the same car are they gonna come out with? Jesus Christ!

This car will be a great car.
It is much better than a Chevy Corvette.
and best of all, it’s a lambo.

NAh don’t bring GM into every fuckn car critique. Principle is, GM has the technology and Experience to produce an engine of mindblowing power. END OF STORY. BACK TO Lamborghini’s second Gen Gallardo PWEASE.

Hmm, I was waiting for someone to mention a Corvette. I can guarantee that very few (if anybody) who is looking to get a Lambo is cross-shopping it with a Corvette. Even a ZR-1.

It’s all about the “wow, look at me” factor. ‘Vette’s just don’t have that.

@beatusmongous

Yeah, I already know the full quote. I just thought it would be much more appropriate to use “whore” instead of “hamster”.

On-topic: I’ve already seen this car reviewed on Top Gear, but nevertheless, it kinda sucks that the production of Gallardo cars is going to end. I really love that screaming V12 note. You just can’t replicate that same noise with anything less than 12 cylinders. And no, I don’t want to hear any arguments of V8′s making a better noise.

By: beatusmongous

beatusmongous — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:49:13 +0000

Michael, you lucky bastard.

Stix, it’s “hamster”, not “whore.” Although I’m sure you’re right about her.

What a beauty. A green one of these and green 911 GT3 RS would make my dream garage! Although I must say for the sake of symmetry there should be a stripe EITHER side of the wide white stripe. Nit-picking on a $220,000 car! How about that?

FSVT… I dont want to defend that little prick, but I take it you’ve never heard of the Corvette that has 430hp and gets 26 mpg?

By: leftwingagenda

leftwingagenda — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:17:23 +0000

every once in a while i go back and watch clarkson’s top gear review of the gallardo spyder on youtube…you can’t come away from watching that without wanting one…it’s impossible…it’s definitely tops on my “won the lottery” list, although this article makes a good argument for swapping in a balboni…

By: johnnycanuck

johnnycanuck — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:12:46 +0000

I don’t know, but I like the “loud”. You’re in a Lamborghini for gosh sakes… you threw subtle out the window when you signed up.

haha ——–> laugh at NMOFGM face
who care about GM man, they can’t even get their ass straight and build something that has good performance and with burning that much gas.

about time Lamborghini came out rear wheel drive like this one.

Top Gear has a great article about Balboni and this car in the October issue. I recommend it if you have an interest in his story.

Who cars? Really, this car is for .0000000001% of the population fo the world who can afford the expensive repairs, the sh1tty quality and the ugly looks.
