I like the clean design, a nice upgrade to the Gallardo.
 
It is a big improvement over the Gallardo IMO. Still not Aventador level, but it is like half the price.

I wonder if this platform (if it is new) will make it to an updated A8?
 
Hmm. It looks nice, but somehow it lacks a certain drama, particularly from the rear. It looks, somehow, too low/flat to my eyes. I think the Gallardo was, for the era it emerged, a more impressive design, and I prefer the Aventador design as well. Still, if someone wants to give me one I will bravely soldier on despite my misgivings . . .

I am just waiting for another Countach. Some radical design, unheard of lines, and really over the top.
 
Am I the only one who thinks it looks a little bland? It obviously has the heritage, it just seems really muted.

I think of think that is the point. It is not supposed to be out there; this is their "practical" car. Lambo has their high end line to be crazy.

More freakin' cheesy LED DRLs. Won't someone please think of the children?!

What would you prefer, incandescent DRLs? No DRLs?

I hate to break it to you, but DRLs are a positive safety feature for automobiles. And lighting in all areas of life (not just for automobiles) are moving to LEDs.

So basically, any new car over $15,000 is eventually going to have LED DRLs. Just like seat-belts, air-bags, and ABS.

I have a problem with everyone doing cheesy strips of LED lights a la Audi. Every 16 year old with a busted up Cavalier has them now. Just like a few years ago when angel eyes were all the rage and we had Mustangs running around with terrible projector hack jobs with halos.

So you're equating a $200,000 Lamborghini's lighting system to people who glue a strip of LEDs on their Honda Civic?

Or maybe you're saying since Audi invented LEDs and patented the concept of a line, that they should be the only company allowed to use LEDs in the shape of a line for vehicle lighting? In that case, I have good news for you: VW/Audi owns Lamborghini.

Actually, I'm not quite sure what you're saying. But perhaps you could draw us a concept of your ideal DRL for a $200,000 sports car. Maybe something bold and unique, like miniature propane lanterns behind an octagon shaped silhouette.

I've had this argument before.

Every car should have DRL's.
Using high beams for them is stupid, it cokes the bulbs and makes the true high's less effective.
LED is the perfect candidate for DRL systems, strips is the most efficient way to get usable light output.
Companies would be horribly foolish to not use these DRL systems to make a signature for their vehicle. I practically write off vehicles that can't be identified from front or rear view.

Reverse L Strip = Lexus
Halos = BMW
Double Stripe = Audi
C shape = Chrysler/Jeep
C with stripe = Chrysler SRT product
Double Stripe C = Audi Q7 or A6/7/8 (aka high end Audi products)

That, my friends, is night time brand recognition.
 
It looks like maybe the very first version of the concept was a plastic scale model. And somebody left it in the sun, and it melted, and then some guy-in-charge was just like 'okay, fuck it, let's just go with that.'

The car has no lines. It's like someone tried to sharpen a turd.
 
I'm sure there will be a couple dozen at the next Caffeine and Octane event after they are released. I see more of those and GT-R's than anything else it seems.

So....

1) High end makers come out with something cool
2) DIYers and other low end people knock it off, often with poor results
3) It's no longer cool

It's official: you're a car hipster. "I was into LED strips and halo lights before they sold out and went mainstream."
