While your opinion amazes me, I can't argue with the Miura point. Although, and maybe its a generational thing, I don't think I could go past the LP-640 as my favourite Lamborghini (with a proper manual of course). How can you say no to that thing?
I wouldn't say no to it. I would just immediately trade it in for something better.

Hmmm, pretty underwhelming to be honest. It doesn't really flow and is way too fussy in my opinion, lines pointing everywhere without any real theme. I think it would look a lot better in a dark, satin finish like the Reventon but as Cano says above there are no fresh ideas here. I was really excited for this car, but I feel pretty let down. I hope it grows on me. I preferred this artists rendition from a while back.
While it did still retain a lot of the lines of the Murci and Gallardo it looks far more poised and slippery than the actual production car. Also, Aventador? I don't like it. But, you know that when I see one on the street I will brown myself.

Looks like the middle of the car is gallardo based. While front and rear is reventon based. Look's sexy.

So the new decade this and the huarya and this are officially the new cars of the decade. Both are brilliant and I approve the way they look but they are too understated. In 2000 decade we saw the new Ferrari enzo and Lamborghini murcielago. They were outrageous and fun and pantomime. And now they're too understated for my liking. It's a lamborghini and I like the airplane stuff but
It just doesn't look explosive. It's too discrete and too much like a reventon. It's unoriginal like the pagani huarya. In the seventies we saw madness. 80s and 90s was focussed on power and speed. 2000s were about drivers cars and pantomime. Yes these two have 700 horsepower but they seem to conservative like the world around them. That's not the point of a supercar.

I can agree to this..... A super car (hyper-cars in these cases) are supposed to be completely mental!!, short of laser guns, and rotating knives there shoudl be now restrain!! i say put 8 exhast pipes, billions of fins/ vents, and why not put a giant wing on the back for good measure! the current breed (with the expetion of the zonda and apollo) were lacking in this.... (the zonda was insane, and the apollo was even MORE insane)

I can argue with this, because the standard Murciélago is the most bland and soft lamborghini ever made, it never matched the Miura, Countach and Diablo in terms of awesomeness and wow factor.
I wouldn't refuse to drive one though, but the SV is miles ahead of this car in terms of coolness, as is the Gallardo.
The Aventador on the other hand is everything a V12 Lambo should be, showy-off, edgy, loud, mad and assymetrical. You can call me biased, but this is the most promising car since the German take-off at Lambo.
I like it a lot, in fact, I would trade a Huayra and a Veyron for one of these.

^ I agree with the Aventador being awesome, not sure how people can call it conservative...
And I see where you are coming from with the Murcielago (or LP-640 in this case) but I would call it refined rather than bland. I like the fact that it doesn't try too hard with wings and scoops etc. The proportions are perfect and the car has serious presence, especially when you see it in real life. Don't get me wrong the SV is incredible, but I like the fact that the base LP-640 looks tough but also subtle at the same time

Yeah, their V12 were always awesome, but even with that incredible heart underneath, the Murci was just too.... German, it has a lot of Audi and only a little bit of Lambo styling-wise, which is why I do not dig it at all.
The SV adds a lit bit of drama, whilst keeping the awesome noise.
Enough for a nice mansion in Liverpool like the one owned by an ex-evil'ish member around, I presume.
When it comes to stupidly priced exotics, I guess that money isn't really an issue, so I would get the one who really moves my heart, the Veyron and the Huayra doesn't, this car(in Orange)... just did it.

That would leave you with £2,000,000 in change

It's funny you say that because Donckerwolke was responsible for the beautifully modernized, Diablo 6.0.
The heart though is not what I was getting at. It was the styling & the Murcielago's design was far, far more Lamborghini-esque than the Urracco, or even the Silhouette/Jalpa. You could say it was more Lamborghini styling-wise, than the 350/400GTs, though their GT-bodies were originally what Ferruccio wanted the company to produce.

Yup, but everything started with the Gandini styling sketch which was subsequently modified ( improved ) by Chrysler and then improved again....
The Murci on the other hand came straight from Audi from the conception.
EDIT: I agree, it is mid-engined, V12 powered and has a low stance, but I do find the headlights very flat and unnevocative, the front end isn't really intriguing or beautiful in any way to me, the rear end does have a lot of personality, though. It is more Lambo'ish than all GT's and V8 powered MR and 4seater cars, but still, I find the Murci as a bland car. I would take a Gallardo any day.
I sincerely can't compare the Urraco and the Jalpa to any of these Lambos because they really aren't full on Lamborghini models in my conception, I often see them as money maker models to help fund the other performance oriented models, the success in achieving this goal is prone to discussion, though.

I think the Gallardo LP560 still looks far better than the Aventador

Yes, but the LP-560 is in that rare league of supercars beside the DB9 that is almost impossible to fault in the context of design.
It looks amazing, as does Lamborghini's current lineup (which imo doesn't need replacing design-wise for a while yet). My only gripe is that I think the gaps between the panels are too wide (which I assume they intentionally did to emphasise the angular 'stealth-fighter' futuristic look), distracting from it's overall silhouette.

In case you want user pictures, I've got a few.
I went the the Geneva Auto Show yesterday, and I've got a few pictures of the car (inside and out).
Giorgio from Lamborghini Geneva. On first name basis with him now.
Incase LamboLP640 happens to see this (chatroom inside joke)
I'm going again next week, incase you want more photos. And I also have interior shots of the R8 V10 Spyder (coupe = dream car), and the LP 560 Bicolore. And close up shots of the Huayra etc...

I'm already picturing what the SV model of this car will look like.
And the R-SV too.

Does anyone else think the car sounds kinda lame? I heard before that the Murcielago had baffles or something in the exhaust that make it quieter for normal driving and then it gets louder, like the idea behind cut-outs and what the Corvette has as an option?
