Default Lambo needs to proof read owners manual

I just finished going through the owners manual of my '06 G, and towards the end (pg 192) it make reference to a VW .

Also, no where in the book did it tell me what the recommended brake-in period is and there are plenty of typos.

Not complaining, just wondering if anyone's noticed this in their operator's manual

If I'm reading an operator's manual for a Lambo, I would expect it to make reference to it. I get to pg 192 and all of a sudden it starts referring to a vw. I understand that it's part of the parent company, but I think for the kind of money that is spent on the car, it shouldn't have to those types of errors.

I get what you saying. But how are they refrencing VW? Are they saying
"congradulations on purchase of a VW lamborghini" or are they just randomly substituting lamborghini for VW.

I agree that they really should try to seperate the VW name from the lambo dept. It really could discourage buyers who are unaware of them being a parent company.

In a way VW is a Grandparent company.

That's pitiful, and might send me running back for a refund!
