OK, Ken you need to go down to the local electronics store and buy yourself a new flat panel LCD monitor for your computer and get rid of the 12" Monochrome monitor you bought from BC Tel surplus in 1989!

Either that or I haven't received the new GT3RS in Green that you bought me for my 1 year anniversary on 6 speed.

I for one would not allow a 'Baby Blue' Lambo or for that matter any Baby Blue car in my garage.

Now if it was Gulf Blue it would be a different story.

The Lambo pearl white is super hot. Also, when I was in the Detroit Auto Show earlier in the month and Lambo was showing off some matte finished cars. That was prob the hottest thing I've seen. There were several different ones (blue and dark gray)...def look into it, never seen it on the road or in any pics.

Thank

Awesome. Nothing fresher than a white or pastel. Then again, I'm from Florida, so YMMV.

I would think a matte gray would look great on these cars, as they already have that stealth fighter look about them, and a matte finish would reinforce that.

Totally. I saw a very dark matte grey Gallardo Spyder with black trim in London near Hampstead Heath once. It looked like an F-117A that had taken to the ground. Breathtaking.

Agreed. But not baby blue on a car with those lines.

here are the lambos in matte finish from the detroit show - i stand corrected, in white and blue matte finish. will try to find a pic of the pearl white, which is definitely metallic, but somehow not as shiny as one would expect.

here's the pearl white...i'm a big fan (although the matte blue from detroit could be the hottest lambo i've ever seen)

It looks feminine to me. If that's OK, then it's a GREAT color.

Nah...car with sharp angles like the G needs a dark color to compliment the lines. Looks greatest in black...
