Anyone else pissed off that lambo is now german?

[spitfire6000]

this really ticks me off...never will i ever have the opportunity in my life from now on to own an authentic italian lamborghini...instead i can have an italian sports car that has the insides of a german one

[TT]

You really never saw a second hand Diablo, Countach or Miura for sale?

[SPEEDKILLAR]

^^^^^^ good one

And who cares, its basically still Italian, and the most important part is that it drives like a superb car.

[PATo355]

I dont car , now its a best car than b4

[oscargarza88]

well it depends, because tis basically a very topof the line audi, so i really dont think the original spririt of lambo is there, but that doesnt make it a worst car, its still great!! just different

JC said it best when he said you want the Germans to make the basket for the picnic and the Italians to bring the food and that is the recipe for a picnic and for the Gallardo which makes it such a success. BTW, the Gallardo is an awesome car, one of my dad's friends who lives near Toronto sold his Murcielago and picked up the Gallardo cannot stop raving about it and this guy has everything and has had everything, Porsche Turbo's, Murcielago's, Modena's, Viper's you name it and he has owned it.

ohh com on, not again.. taking ghtinks literally!
i mean the feel of a lambo, like the hard clutch, gearshift, etc..., put together they give u a different feel than driving something easy to drive

[mitsu_3kgt_ads]

I still consider it Italian. It reminds me of the time I told my friend that the Viper was one of the best current American sports cars (This was before the Ford GT and the Saleen S7 were out) and he told me it would be if it was American. He then went off on how it was really German because of Chrystler. :roll:

Actually he said something completely different...
He said that the gallardo DOES NOT have the feel of a lambo because:

When u want a picnic u want the germans to bring the basket and the italians to make the food...

but in the gallardo's case...

the germans have made the basket AND the food.

ALSO: if u recall...JC asked the crowd what they thought the best lambo was, and after getting a few responses, he said everyones wrong. He claimed that the best lambo to date is the murcielargo.


As for the comment about buying preowned lambos, i was refering strictly to new, never before driven on models...probably shouldve specified

[Vansquish]

The only problems that I have with the German ownership of Lamborghini are that the ars have become less aesthetically pleasing...they're not as outrageously styled....and though they are certainly easier to drive than Lamborghinis of old, they are less romantic in a way...less emotion-inspiring...sanitized. However, quality has definetely improved, as has reliability and useability. A tradeoff had to be made somewhere.

[possessed_beaver]

they still produce the same amazing cars, but now money isen't a problem with audi been able to provide finance for any project!

IMO lambo's have only gotten better!!

I don't think that would be an advantage, its all part of the evolution of cars, they have to be FASTER.

I don't know if you are aware of the recent history of Lambo but it's been a long time since it was Italian. Chrysler bought it in 1987 so it "became " american and then after some troubles was sold to Indonesian group so you see that German is not a bad issue ...
