Its true Lambo of course , but the New Gallardo is more an Audi .. but think it the way that the raw power is still there , but you can control it , and being Audi is among the best build cars in the world

both new cars are great, I like the Audi approach of expanding the line-up, cars are still rare exotics, really fast, cool-looking, and now well-engineered and reliable, but they lack the passion ... the fire is gone ... if I had a good sum of money, I would still prefer Diablo, to me it is the ultimate Lamborghini, especially the 1995-1997 models

I think they are both Lambos, why wouldn't they be ? In this case, a Ferrari is no more a Ferrari since Fiat bought Ferrari and an Aston no more. Audi don't denaturate the name, simply improve the product to put it at the level of the other manufacturers and it's happy because, else, Lambo would be dead.

You are correct yg60m, but Fiat do not re-design Ferrari, they just hand over the money. And Ferrari do there thing, Imagine seeing Fiato bambino interior touches in a stradale, not going to happen.
Audi have improved lamborghini but lost the characterisitcs that made lambo special. Dont get me wrong here, the Diablo is fantastic car, i love it, but a few people had problems with windows not wokring and little things. But those things make the supercar special, its not ment to be perfect, you still need to feel its made by hands, not machines. And the fact that the RS6 is going to have the gallardo engine doesnt make the gallardo as special....its sad....

personally i think they definately lost alot of classic lambo appeal by taking away the signature out and up folding doors

Its the little touches that made Lamborghini so special but I find them missing in the new ones, especially the Gallardo .
