Yellow and white are good, and orange is OK. Red doesn't 'fit' Lambo and the green is for tools.

Very true. Ferrari seems to be moving forward. Honestly, I like the direction of the American sports cars but they are certainly a step down in fit/finish.

Evo hated the seats (both styles)... but its an amazing car and these problems will be resolved in short order. I really, really like it but like Karl... can't afford one.

While AM isn't leading the race for new models, they did just release a significant, non rehashed Vanquish.

There are American sports cars? All I see are bigger, fatter boats. They may have loads of power but, old corvettes excepted (and maaaayyyyybeee the new one), when have Americans ever made sports cars? (I may be exaggerating a bit thanks to a recent week with a '14 mustang v6, of which not one thing was sporty.)

And back on topic: There's no disputing that Lambo owns the crisp edged, very flat, super car market. I for one am eagerly anticipating their entry into other packaging formats.

You'd have to be one massive tool be seen driving around in that.
Your definition of a color defining you as a tool is interesting. Lambo have always been more flamboyant and standout. The car, regardless of color, is over the top, as it should be. It's a Lambo. There is a certain type of person that buys a Lambo, just like certain people that buy Aston Martin, Harley or Ducati. I appreciate that Lambo is over the top and expect to see the crazy colors because that's what type of car it is.

Simply put, if you want over the top, you buy a Lambo and put a crazy color on it. If you want refined you buy Aston and put a classy color on it, etc.

This is a better representation of a tool.

I agree. I was at an unveiling of the Huracan several months ago and the car was . . . silver. Despite being a new car with attractive lines it was boring. Lambos are supposed to be shouty and outrageous. That's what they're all about.

The DBS was wrapped for events, which is normal for those types (in this case, Gumball). I saw that actual car in England last summer - the owner left it wrapped for the Centennary, also a cool thing to do because it stands out among all the other Astons as well as shows the car is used for big events like Gumball.

That One-77, though.....

Still looks classier than the Huracan in lime green

Oh, there you go again with your reason and thoughts.

Yeah, it was just the most "Lambo" finish on an Aston that I could find in short order.

As for the MaryKay One-77, I just...

And the Miura is the epitome of the Lamborghini brand that still carries over into today's cars.
