Comon Everybody agree this isn't the prettiest car, but how cool it is, when somebody asks you what kind of engine your family car have, to reply .. "Oh well... a V12"

I didn't think I will say seriously uncool for a Lamborghini but this one is one of the ugliest Lamborghini ever IMO.

The very first Lambo I was ever driven in. It impressed me. Not too pretty, but definitely cool and surprisingly fast and even sure-footed.
Any car with no redline on the tach is cool!
(As long as its not the *puke* automatic version of course)
Funky glass at the back too - try do this with another lambo!


As for looking so big. It isn't really. Its just very low. So it looks very long.

Depending on the colour, wheels and version the looks vary from "attractive from a couple of angles" to "wonky" IMHO. Nevertheless, I think it's cool. It's something out of the ordinary, it's a four seater with a V12 and most people would have no clue what it is. Let alone identify it as a Lamborghini. Ricer boys would say it's ugly. Maybe that alone makes it cool already.

I like irrantional_i's comments as well.

A supercar that wants to be a driveable normal everyday car. That's cool.

I want to say cool, because it is a four seater with a v12 that was made in the '70, but the design is just not growing on me, I hate the huge front and back overhand, so I'm sad to say this but uncool for me.
