The first gen Gallardo has always been my favorite one and not just because of the gated manual. I liked the blockiness of it, more so than the stealth fighter aping design of the later models.

I..... disagree!

Agree. It is probably the finest example they made. It pains me when people call it a "Gall-ardo".

Damn right. I remember seeing even Spanish speakers pronouncing it like that back when the car came out!

You're entitled to have an opinion, lol.

I couldn't afford a Gallardo, so I had to settle for an R8 :(

Blue cars are supposed to have gold wheels! Especially with AWD :p

(insert stereotypical "OMG Balboni Edition was by far the best Gallardo" comment here)

Because it is an Italian brand, people thought is should be pronounced as in Italy.

Lambo named their cars after famous Spanish bulls. Hence, the Spanish pronunciation of the cars name. (Guy-ardo).

Also the way Clarkson mispronounces Murciélago as Merch-eeh-Elle-Ahhgo

That color combo is sexy as fuck. With a gated manual, I'd want it twice as much. I love the styling though, simple an not overstyled yet still super flashy.

O.o really not even a used one?

I see. You do not disagree with the pronunciation, just the model. OK.

Exactly, this car has want written all over for me!

You're no fun!

Besides, even used Gallardos don't have sideburns :)

Ha! In this case I'll allow it because Lambo.

Pictures dont do it justice. They look like mini spaceships on the road. There are a few UGR TT ones in my neighborhood... they all seem to not run rear bumpers though

Maybe cooling issues? I think the stock power is adequate for me.

I never liked the tail lights on the the earlier models. I do agree that the later models required a double take to make sure it wasn't a Murci but I thought they were the gorgeousest. Just perfectum.

Fun fact: Cosworth helped design the V10 in the first gen Gallardo
