If a Reventon is that new Lambo that is designed from a plane or something (i think?) then I agree with you James.

So that's another thumbs up from me, i love it.

Yep, the Reventon was that F-22-Raptor-looking thingy. The ducts at the front of this LP560 are very similar.

Looks good. Love the interior

Back to me looks a little Audi R8-esque, with the new lights, and the mesh!

And in some pics the front looks a bit "too" agressive for me!

I dont like it. They are making out of what looks like leftovers from its bigger brother, and the R8 parts bin.

I like the normal Gallardo because you can tell its from the same family but not as "in you face" as the Murciélago. The LP wheels look nice but lambo should leave the bodywork alone.

I like it, wish the stance were wider. Would look more intimidating.

And for the record, the R8 looks like ass.

Back end, especially exhaust area, has 'GT-R' written all over it.

You can sell a lot of parts once, or one part a lot of times. The choice is yours.

Sounds tame, I blame Audi again.

This is what a 'Lambo' should sound like

YouTube - Lamborghini Countach LP500S

I blame noise/emissions regulations.

The Ferrari F430 and Porsche Carerra GT sounds fantastic even with modern emission rules. Active exhausts are the way forward in this day and age.

I'm sure a Gallardo sounds great in the flesh, but after hearing a Countach and Diablo, its a bit of a let down.
