Ah...These guys can just take a 4-5 year break, or do something like make affordable sport cars under $50k to try to sell more. Their cars are already ahead of others and in this kind of economy, not alot of people are going to buy them anyway.Maybe just collectors.

Lamborghini is not the brand to sell anything less than 100-150K. That is what VW and Audi are for.
But that also means that most people will never have access to one. That is fine... whatever. But I wish Mazda, or someone in the more everyday part of the market would sell a mid-engined sports car. Toyota is evidently not going to do a new MR2 correctly, and Pontiac is gone, permanently. Alfa is delaying their US market re-introduction for years, so the 4C is probably off the table... and Lotus is in transition without the Toyota 2ZZ engine, and trying to re-vamp their whole line. I wish the next RX-_ sports car were mid-engined and rotary powered. Something drastically different than the bigger-than-necessary, but smaller than truly practical RX8. A 5-door sedan (think mini-Rapide) would be welcome, regardless of engine choice, and a mid-engined 2-seat sports car would be a natural for a rev-loving compact racy rotary engine. I would even appreciate an electric assist hybrid with an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of battery weight on board. A turbocharged, or turbo-compounded rotary engine with an electric drive torque boost would make a very nice sports car engine. Lambo may not be the brand to build an interesting mid-engined sports car under the average household income level, but I wish SOMEONE would. Last edited by HipToBeSquare; 08-06-2011 at 12:16 PM. |

They did just register the domain name sestoelemento.com so maybe that's what will be shown.

I can't blame Lambo. The rich put their money where the mouth is. The general car "enthusiast" demands 400whp car with room for modding and abuse, last 150k miles with minimum up-keep, gets 30mpg in the city, looks like a Lambo with the practicality of a station wagon. And cost "under 30k" !!

2)$50k is just a hypothetical number. They can price the cars competitively. In this case, brand dilution wouldnt matter. 3)This is just a matter of time. They only survive thanks to VW. I only brought these points up because I saw what Porsche was doing and thought it would be interesting if Lambo did the samething. |
