    Have you ever driven a Gallardo or been a passenger in one? Given your comment above, I'd venture a guess the answer is no. Owning both a Gallardo and a bright red 430, I can tell you without any doubt the Gallardo gets WAY more attention than the Ferrari... and my Gallardo is black on black on black, not one of the brighter orange, yellow or green colors available.

    Have you ever heard the exhaust note on Gallardo when the bypass valves open? There's not a Ferrari made today that makes a sound nearly as good. Don't get me wrong, I love my 430 (way more than my 360), but it bugs me when people claim the Lambo is emotionless.

    Sure there are clear traces of Audi in the car... it's what makes the car capable of being my daily driver and the reason why we have Lamborghinis at all today.

    Personally, I think people who call one of my all-time favorite cars a "gay-lard-o" are bland, boring, likely poorly styled and exhibit as much emotion as a Fiat Doblo.

    Having said that... Merry Christmas.

    Original, SE and 560. Still hold my opinion. Glad you're enjoying yours.

    And attention sn't the measure of a great car

    Not what I meant. I wrote the "attention" part in response to your claim that the G's styling was bland, boring and lacking emotion. Regardless, you're entitled to your opinion and it's not productive arguing over something as subjective as personal taste... but I'm right :D

    I'm not sure where you're located, but if you're ever in the Bay Area, PM/email me and we'll go for a cruise in my G.

    Merry Christmas.

    Merry Christmas Frank. Reminds me of a line I heard; something to the effect of "I'm always right. I thought I was wrong once, but I was wrong about that..."
