Kind of let down in looks, IMO.

Kind of looks like a flattened Prius with sharper corners.

I have sat in a similar designed seat. Amazing.
I don't think they look all that great, but the comfort is real.

Their projections from the article are far fetched. Lambo could have easily got in the SUV/Truck market worldwide years ago if they really wanted to.

The 600 HP thing is not really a selling point for me in regards to a vehicle that likely won't ever tow anything. Those tires do not look like off road is a real possibility. Nor are the lack of real mirrors for cameras. I break a camera is it going to cost me 10k to fix it ? From the pics that is a real possibility. The cars that do rear view cameras right, have them fitted to the "A" post.

It does look like another vehicle that I have seen. I just can't pinpoint it right now. Ehh. Not for me. I don't mind spending money on certain things. But I can probably buy 4 bad *** trucks for the price this will be.

I could be wrong. But 600 horses hype and the name tell me that it is probably going to be a rip off.

An HMMWV has 190 hp. The civilian Alpha models built in 2006 I think have 300hp.

The 600hp is pointless. The aerodynamics of the thing pretty much mean it can't do amazing speeds since it'll build up an air cushion under its body causing lift, and you don't need that amount of HP when a real Hummer (not the soccer mom wannabe kitty-cat H2 and H3) can tow a 105mm artillery piece.

I'm not seeing it either.

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

Lamborghini proves again why they will never be on Ferrari's level.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I think it has a great look to it. I doubt it will be worth the money but I like the lines and the overall look of it. 600 HP is of course over the top though.

Looks like they half stole the design from the Porsche Cayenne.


Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.

There are a few similarities but there are plenty of differences as well. Rear fender wells are flared, the slope f the roof going back and the window design. Also the the grill area is much smaller and sleek on the Lambo.

I think any time you are comparing two vehicles in the same class you will have similarities. It's not like comparing a Volkswagen bug to a Corvette.
