Lamborghini Gallardo
What do you guys think about the new Lamborghini with it's normal doors and a v10 instead of a v12. I mean the lamborghini doors are a trademark to that company, i just can't believe they put normal doors on a lamborghini.

Well, if you want to create a baby lambo you have to save somewhere beside the engine 
IMO it's a very find car, I'd pick it over the Murcielago (if I'd have to choose between Lambo's present models I mean).

Its an Audi. The baddest Audi ever. As TT said, i'd take it over the Murcielago. It is actually almost functional. The Turbo takes the functionality prize. Watch Jeremy Clarkson review it...nuff sed.

I'd take the gallardo anyday. It's easier to drive, smaller and fast enough for most daily drives. Yeah you don't get the scissor doors, but heck i wouldn't want to pay the premium anyway. It's the engine, the noise and the looks that count.

A lot of my friends say they dont like the gallardo cause of its looks, or because its partly german now. I would have to say it looks great, i would have rather had it full italian but what can u do. I have seen a few at the miami auto show and i love them. Ill buy one when i get rich one day.

The Gallardo is the ultimate sports car , its even better than the 360 modena , it only lacks the prancing horse badge . And being very furious and having the reliability of the germans , that car is a truly winner , and looks astonishing too

What so bad about audi? "it is audi" it was said with irony? Anyway i think the nuvolari will be also one of the most promising sports cars in nearest future.. so.. respect to audi.

If riced-out Civics can have scissor doors, I think someone will come up with a kit for Gallardo owners in no time.

The Gallardo is one of the best cars you can buy today because of it's looks, practicality, and sportiness.

I like the Gallardo, but I'd prefer the big daddy instead. I like the idea that certain things are saved for the flag ship Murcielago. It not only saves money and makes the Gallardo more affordable, but gives people "something to shoot for". They key with lower model cars, for all manufacturers is to just get people into the marque, and build customer loyalty. By making a Lambo for $150k, that's a whole new market of people that would never have bought a Lambo before...but after the Gallardo, they drool and save up for a Murc.
I think it's good that Lamborghini finally has some stability and can focus on cars again without worrying about the finances. The Gallardo will make Lamborghini and Audi money and that will keep the ball rolling. The exotic car market would become significantly more boring if Lamborghini were to leave (this is me thinking about the early 90s when they were bounced from Chrysler to Proton, etc.)...

I think the styling is horrible.Even worse than the murcielago.The only bright side is the reliability and driveabilty has been greatly improved.

I like the murcielago a lot better than the gallardo, I'm not a fan of the back of the gallardo, it looks a little "box like" and its too much of an audi for me..I like audi I just wish it was more of a lambo

I'd have the Murcielago too. It was the last of the "real" Lambos as development had begun long before the Audi/VW takeover. The car is like the Diablo and the COuntach before that, but it is slightly more civilissed than both of them
The Murci has the size, power and all the supercar faults that make it a supercar. The Gallardo is a little too practical if you know what i mean...
I wouldn't mind a Gallardo too though\/\/\/\/\/
EDIT - OOps - i forgot i changed my sig
