That doesn't sound like a bad idea, but they said there's a 2 year waiting list and people are offering 30K over MSRP!

I think it's a very interesting car... I wouldn't buy one, but I would lease one for 3 years. I just think the design will date rapidly.

I agree with Chris, Its like the Audi TT when it first came out in 1999 at first it looked futuristic but after a year and a half I couldnt care less its just a regular car.

If anyone has checked WorldCarfans lately, it seems that Lamborghini is considering a Gallardo with R8 4.2L motor. That might be probably to match with the Ferrari Entry mid engine sports car that could be dubbed "Dino".

Side blades look color matched. If so I think it looks really clean from your pics. Thanks!

It's really hard to tell from the angle of the pic, but the side blade is carbon fiber. Looks really nice with the black paint.

Yeah, I'd probably do the same, but that's what the dealer told me. Who knows if it's actually true, he didn't seem to know much about the car at all.
