As I was assaulted due to my last post, let's clear this up. For all you Gallardo owners, have fun with your cars. However, there are more "purist" Lamborghini enthusiasts out there than you know. I happen to be one of them. Remember, even founding father Ferruccio said the Diablo was not a Lamborghini. So, is the Gallardo? Clearly not. It is a German vehicle at its core...it is an Audi. Period. You have to look deep into what Ferruccio meant to understand what this is about. It has little or nothing to do with factory location or nameplate, and everything to do with history and soul. Those who haven't experienced the cars that I have will never understand. All of you Countach/Miura/Jarama/Espada/400gt/Jalpa/Silhouette/Islero/350gt/Urraco owners can back me up here. The Lambo's of today aren't bad cars, they are simply sterile (key word). To start up a Countach and go ripping down the highway is such an unbelievable, insane thrill compared to the relatively "cookie-cutter" Gallardo. Remember I've driven them all. In fact, the Murcielago offers not nearly the thrill of the Countach. Hence, the word sterile. The funniest/saddest thing I've heard in a long time was an 11 year old kid asking his dad "Is that the new Nissan"? as he looked at a silver Gallardo parked in a highway rest area. That truly says it all, doesn't it? Please God, make the Italians buy Lambo back.
