    It's in the dash most likely since it's a giant screen. I actually think that's kind of dumb. Now the passenger can't use the nav/radio.

    Also, waaaay too many buttons on the center console.

    Why is it "hating" to say you don't think it looks very interesting? I can never understand this.

    What you really mean is just shut up and agree with me.

    This car looks pretty much like every Lambo since 1972. It doesn't look a who lot different than the car it replaces. I suppose that was the idea but that's reality, not hate.


    What I do hate is the stupid red cover for the "starter" button. Is this Power Rangers? Does the car transform into a Jet Fighter?

    You can pretend it launches the missiles. Is there a guy tailing you around with a briefcase full of codes? LOL

    As for the styling, the 3/4 front view is the least flattering. It shows the body outline as somewhat pudgy and blobbish in a way that is not saved by all of the interest generated by the various edges, scoops, and gills, a Lamborghini trademark. Other views are more exciting, but overall it does not take the design to a new place, and we did not expect it to.

    It's a good base.

    I do wonder what they'll do for mid-cycle refresh, since I cannot imagine they can make this V10 rev any higher. Maybe a new, bespoke engine is in the works?

    I think that is the point. I think Lamborghini tries to make the look remain similar but new and refreshed.

    It's true to what Lamborghini have been employing for the last decade...cockpit/aviation-inspired design and layout. The kid in me loves it...

    I also wonder where the nav/radio would be. something tells me the radio will alternate with the triple gauge digital display and the nav will take a section of the main digital tach.

    or

    there's a "see-through" hidden display right above the button controls on the column that show up once you start messing with the buttons. There seems to be a generous gap between the two main control areas for something like that.

    Not sure why ppl are "hating" on this while still "loving" the same exact setup in a 458. the irony.

    The exterior is predictable, but the interior makes my eyes hurt!!!
    The specs are so and so.The 458 replacement will eat it alive...

    they build lp720-4 50° anniversario, they can show a special version at any time, you never know with Lambo/Audi/WV, so we will see 458 successor in 2014?

    One thing is for sure. I would take it over the 12c.

    I believe that the 458 raplacement will be unveiled either late 2014 or early 2015. Delieveries is a different story.

    458 raplacement will have carbon tub? Alfa have.

    LOL, nice one.
    Surely you can say exactly the same about the 360 > 430 > 458 then? Not much change there since the 355 shape (which all looked ''exactly'' like a 308). These cars just look in a certain way in this era.
    Yup.
    Homage to Miura SV.

    I'd say it'll be on the same chassis as the 458. One after that will be with carbon tub.

    458 successor will be an evolution not revolution in design.....similar to the 360/430 progression.

    And why I say its BORING. We've been here done that for years.

    It's not bad looking. Its just a little better than the last one.
