    Yeah like most people have said I think it looks better in that picture. Still not very good though.

    they didn't look good then, and they don't look good now.

    That car needs some shoes.

    Still a few mixed opinions on the car, but the signs are positive after seeing that photo. It's beginning to make sense

    i see what you guys are talking about in then ride heigth, but the photos are decieving. the photo was taken downhill from the car. i think it is just the angle. the car didn't seem to be that high in person. i have a couple of more photos that i will post tomorrow, sorry, but i didn't have time to resize them all.

    And thats why I prefer contemporary Ferrari-design over Lamborghini-design. I like my cars to have an actual nose-section.

    Great news! Less of a wait for us!

    Think I'll put a tow hook on the back of mine and take the CS to the track with it. Like that I don't have to mess around with changing from road tyres to slicks.

    I'm still not a fan of it but it does look better than the press release photos. Its slowly growing on me.

    in that case that is one fncking-sexy-ass any modern car

    You don't have to like it, but to call it bland in just plain wrong, open your eyes, this thing is oozing curves and power.

    I've always felt that when the lines of a car are extreme the color should be subdued. Lamborghinisti certainly don't agree. LOL.

    The most beautiful Murci I've seen is in grigio alloy. It makes the sharp edges look smooth and graceful, a beautiful contrast. To me the Gallardo is strictly a black, silver or burgundy car, in that order, with black being a solid first place. Its lines are simply too severe for any other colors.

    Ferraris tend to be beautiful in almost every color, the 456 being a glaring exception. I believe this is intentional.


    Forza,

    How exactly do you resize? Is it a special program I need or can I do with regular MS Office?


    Many thanks,

    Probably with Adobe Photoshop. You can do almost anything with that programme :)

    If I'm going to drop a quarter million on a car - this dosen't get my blood pumping. Looks like it "should have" a hundred thousand dollar sticker.

    It's too bad they wasted such a nice paint job on such an ugly car.

    I'm so pleased that so many of you hate it! This is only good news for those of us who want one. Let depreciation take a big slug out of its value and let me bring one home in 4 -5 years...! In the meantime, I'll just enjoy finding out more about why this car is the most impressive road car in series production today, and look forward to the day I can get behind the wheel for myself!

    ps: forgot to add - its a future classic for sure. But not many of you will be interested in that I guess...
