Have not driven one yet, but I have sat in them many times. My only concern is that it seems much more snug than the 360, I am 6,3" and 260lbs and am a little worried that I will not be as comfortable. Adam | ||

Good move Adam. Murcielagos are a lot of car for the money right now. Performance is not even comparable. Murcielago is superior in just about every aspect. Have you driven one? Cheers | ||

I did not think much of them until I sat in one at Pebble Beach. I now like the Gallardo in orange and the Murci in yellow, so much so that I ordered one from Lamborghini of Atlanta. I got the two tone interior that is only availible in the Gallardo in saddle and black but placed it in the Murcioelago. It was ordered in the pearl yellow. They tell me I may get it by Christmas for my wife but who knows for sure. I had no trouble waiting for my 575M to come in after waiting for 8 months but I cannot wait any longer for my Murci. aehaas | ||

I wouldnt say ugly but certainly not a beautiful car or exciting visually.A trend that Lamborghini is following with the Gallardo... | ||

Mercielago is OK. Still not convinced by the Gallardo's lines. To me, the best looking Diablo is the SE30 Jota. | ||

I agree with Dan and Matt...the Murci is okay but the last versions of the Diablo had the passionate look an Italian sports car is supposed to have. If I was given a Murci I would sell it and buy the final year Diablo and have some money left over for whatever... | ||

I know, there are cars that grow on you, particularly after driving them. Maybe I will get a chance to drive one soon. I have no doubt there will be many thrills behind the wheel, I just don't get grabbed by the styling.  | ||

Opposite for me... Gallardo - not bad Murci - ugly | ||

I think the Murci looks good. I am not so keen on the Gallardo, though. | ||

I'm with Jon on this one. Also agree with Matt. Nice yellow. Cheers | ||

The Murci has grown on me (I still like the Diablo better too), as has the Enzo. But hands down, that yellow on the Murci is the best yellow paint job I've ever seen. Gorgeous. | ||

I like the murci but the Diablo looks much better. So does the countach IMO. | ||

I don't like the back end of the car....it's better in real life on dark colored cars than in photos....but still a little bit much for me. | ||

Deciding what is "Beautiful" or "ugly" hasn't been resolved despite thousands of years of commentary. Its all what YOU like and is not worth arguing about except in chat rooms. | ||

Jim, Everyone has their tastes! I for one think the 360 Spyder looks downright boring compared to the Murci. I love the looks of the Murci! Regards, Jon P. Kofod 1995 F355 Challenge #23 | ||

I agree with Jim. It may be awesome to drive, but it's painful to look at. | ||

Drive it Jim - honestly you'll change your mind. I went from detesting this car to LOVING it. I drove a purple one and thought it looked boring. I later drove an orange one and thought it looked fantastic...moreoever I actually got to taste the top end of the engines reaches - WOW! In my personal ranking I have it tied with the BB as the most visceral drive... AWESOME... Only a silly silly overassisted clutch ruins it. | ||

JRV is right, everyone is different. I think the Murci is beautiful. It does need a big freakin wing though, if for nothing else than to appease William. | ||

Saw one of my neighbors picked up a yellow Murcie'lago and it just disappoints visually. Maybe I am not appreciating the mechanics, or dynamics or aero features, but it just din't impress me at all. I didn't drive it, but I felt like telling him to take it back and get a 360 Spyder, but refrained! |
