probably because this is the first time lambo has ever created a "tamer" version of a raging bull, if you can even call it that. not sure how well "fatso" will go with the public....lol

I hope they make a rival for the Enzo and Zonda...I mean a car that has a 0-100 mph time of around the 6-7 secs mark would be awesome....

I think audi is pretty happy with the murc....and seeing that audi maybe somewhat of a more "conservative" company, i wonder...but then again who knows.
how bout the Koenigsegg CC...now that seems to be a very interesting car. would love to see the stig put up a time for the enzo to make a fair comparison between these cars.

sweedish car hmmm....i just think of volvo whenever i hear that. And i cant even pronounce that name Koenigsegg but then again Murc. is a handful also. But with a rumoured 0-60 in 3 secs flat and top speed of 245MPH, its no turtle, those kinda specifications would make even the mclaren f1 sweat let alone the enzo and zonda.

I agree all the recent names Lamborghini have come up with are silly IMO....what the fuck is murcielago and gallarado (yes I know they are supreme bulls) at least Diablo was easier on the tongue.... the swedish one I wont even attempt yet...
why cant we have names like Enzo and Zonda....much easier and better IMO

yeah i agree diablo is one of the best named lambos around. catchy, easy to pronounce, and worthy label of a super-car. i guess as you said if audi has done anything bad so far, it is the naming of their cars. They maybe over doing it to make it sound exotic. Sometimes keeping it simple is better. Zonda and Enzo as you said are perfect examples. Even numbers are good....F1, 911, 355.....

Uhm.. Remember that Zonda is not the name of the model, that didn't change after Audi arrived it's still Automobili Lamborghini 
--> OMG.. what the hell did I smoke? LOL.. ok, Pagani Zonda C12S, not Zonda C12S.. sorry  ops:
As for the best sounding Lambo's name.. Miura all the way for me
