. The Gallardo offers side curtain airbags, which is much more important than I realized after watching crash tests with SUVs t-boning normal sedans at intersections where one driver has run the stoplight. Much more important. You watch a few dummies dent an SUV's bumper WITH THEIR HEADS through the driver's side window, and tell me that you're not then a side airbag convert. Safety The first one is subjective. The rest are not. Well wilst we are on the subject of safety im not sure you are right!! ok its safer than a cs in some circumstances, but your legs are way out in front on the gallardo, almost over the front axle i would NOT want to be in a frontal with that car. Actually, in the UK we already have a smashed gallardo ( I will try to get pics) of a frontal and 40mph and it is severley damaged with intrusion into the pass compartment How is this even a debate on this board? LOL![/QUOTE]
Firstly, you can order the dashtop in leather, as well as the seats. Basically, you can have the entire interior without a trace of alcantara. No traction control? Where did you get this information? That is absolutely false.
The top of the dash being converted to leather is a dealer-based hack job. It is NOT an official Ferrari option. Just left a message with my friend that took delivery of his Titanium 360CS last month (he's the one I got the rides in) to verify his statement to me that the car has no ASR system. He's owned two 360s previously, so I didn't question it at all. I'll update with a correction post if you turn out to be correct kizdan.
its funny, everybody seems to be talking about exterior styling, but imho, interior styiling is just as important. I might pick the gallardo for the better performance, but I think the 360 series (all of them) have far nicer interiors, the gallardo interior looks like an A4, wish they hadn't used cheap lookind door handles, handbrake, gauge faces, and heater/stereo unit..other than those relatively minor issues, its ergonomically perfect. Seats look perfect.
The car does use some A8 interior componants and is better for it. This is one area that the car really shines over the Ferrari.
Much better than Ferrari. Suede headliner hand stiched leather everywhere and all that luxury doesn't seem to slow it down???? Imagine that?
And exactly how much money would you like to bet on this????? I'll put up my house, my vehicles, everything that I have.........hell, I'll throw in Sergei's Enzo!
Hi Sherpa, nice to see you here. I just started hanging around here since buying the Gallardo. PS Just on my way now to pic up the Duc, needed a new starter motor and alternator.
I'm in Melbourne. I haven't posted pics before because I can't use the command to imbed images and I had to resize everything to post as attachments. Any reason for the image command being disabled?

Thanks for photos.You must be one of a select few in your locale. Is the Lambo dealer there or in Sydney?
You have just made my color decision for me. That Black & Yellow is the deal. Is it the Metallic black??
