Laborghini has always been looked at as a poor mans Ferrari , they lack Ferraris prestige and their racing history and will never be in the same league not as a drivers car or grand tourer
Lamborghini has always been centered around the most outrageous looking car they catered to attention whores , you think for a moment they are concerned what owners do with their cars?
And how do these Gallardo owners related to the ' gold chain ' douche bag crowd? The owners of these TTG are hardcore race enthusiasts not some trendy pretender poser like Shawn Ray these people have the means to drive these things and not worry about if they break , total opposites if you ask me.
sorry man, there are rumblings, this ain't helping Lambos cred at all.
I went to a cars and coffee event one time and guess what, the douchebags had the Lambo gallardos...
Would I mind having one, hell no? But would I put gold yellow rims on it, and then talk about doing the TT thing?
Right next to him was a dude with a Porshe CGT, coolest mofo, and a TRUE enthusiast. Goes way with the Porsche marque.
And now the websites are picking up on the Lambo douchebag stereotype---an eve Stephan Winkelmann has acknowledge there is a PR problem with Lambo...
Basically, it boils down to that the Lambo Gallardo and Lambo brand is the go to car and brand for those who want to be seen, or have the image, and it's attracting the Mike The Situation types.
Would loved to see what the replacement will be like, as the car is long in tooth, and Ferrari will be updatig the 458...(which Winkelmann has bought one and told the engineers to beat that).
The new SUV will geared towards women and men with families. So, they are expanding their line, trying to redefine their image...
