Don't kid yourself. It's a 4wd system that is VERY rear biased.

I've experienced both the Murcielago and the Gallardo, and I think they're very, very nice cars. They do have their faults, but if they were priced the same as an S2000, it wouldn't even require a split second of thinking. I'd definitely take the Lambo.

Having said that, the 3-5x larger price tag does not equate to a 3-5x better car. It's all relative...

But in no way do I consider a Lambo a sh1tty car. Yes, they've had many faults, but the Gallardo is quite reasonable for a supercar, with an okayish reliability (it's not bad, I know people, even close friends with Gallardo's, and they've had none, or hardly any faults at all with their cars), and crazy performance.

Too bad the boot space is a bit on the poor side, and the doors don't open scissor style (biiig shame), the rear end is not as hot as on a Murcielago either. But if one didn't cost 50-80% more then my SLK 55 AMG, I really wouldn't mind having one.

front wheels are still being driven. IMO that's still better than a rear wheel drive.

I can't believe nobody's commented on that awful dealer sticker on the back of it. They should shoot the idiot that put that ugly thing on a $100,000+ Italian sports car.

Calling Garado crappy is out of hand. There's a lot to this car and has more head turning styling than a Porsche or Maserati of similar price. If you want to turn heads and have a car for all the senses, a Lamborghini is a good pick.

If you want Grand Prix heritage and bonafied race breed engineering, maybe the Ferrari/ Porsche is more your choice...

I too don't consider the Gallardo a real Lambo
Which is probably a good thing
