I dont like the interior. For a 180K car it looks real cheezy.

The color is badass BTW!

Sweet color combo.... in this day and age where humans are more lemming-like than ever, it's nice to see something different standout... in a good way, of course.

Ok, I think they only make one blue, and in person it does not look so vibrant like that (like NSX Blue which is amazing) but rather more dull. That has to be a photoshopped hue effect.

Love the blue but I echo the sentiments on the interior. Looks like GM plastic. I'll bet it looks better in person.

Wow, that interior sucks.

Why anyone would get a Lambo over a Ferrari blows my mind. What does Lambo do in motorsports today? What have they accomplished?

Absolutely nothing.

Benjamin, what have you done in Motorsports? Guess you are absolutely worthless. Buy a Ferrari, so i can blow your doors off in a Lambo.

Are you guys serious??
All some of you do is bash Lamborghini when probably 90% of people on here have never owned one and 80% have never driven one....
You complain about the interior... NEWS FLASH, the 996 interior isn't much better, in fact I am not sure its better at all... A stock 996 interior is IMO "cheaper" than the gallardo's . Sure with CF or aluminum it is dressed up a bit, but ya know what... you can do the same thing to the gallardo!!

You call them pigs... NEWS FLASH, the Gallardo and Murci BLOW the 996TT away in the handling department (even with PSS9's) and feel very similar to the GT2/3 (haven't driven a CGT to compare, but for 200K extra it better be better )!! The Gallardo's and Murci's handling is simply amazing!!

You say they are not in motorsports... WHO THE HELL CARES?!?! If they look good, perform good, stop good, etc. and somone likes the car, why should the fact that the car isn't winning Le Mans races stop them from buying and enjoying the car

I am in no way saying Lambo's are better than Porsche's, but instead just stating my personal experience...

I know this is going to start an flame war (hell I am famous for them ), but ya know what, ITS TRUE!! Why bash another brand, without owning it to properly compare?? O I am sorry, lets just repeat everything we read in the magazines I don't claim to be a car god or rich. Yep I am just a spoiled kid that has had the great opportunity to drive and be a part of a familly that has owned both... what do I know
