only thing i dislike about the lambo is poor visabilty and for me it was very tight but the drive is great and as far as i know no problems well worth going for much better than a standerd 360 but i would take a CS in a heart beat

yup. Picking it up friday. All the paperwork is done... I wouldn't say I am lucky.. LOL

Agree. Lamborghini is lamborghini. They still have total control over design. The engine is totally theres and in fact Audi is learning alot about supercars from them. and audi is helping to make lambos more reliable and easier to drive. My dad had a 89 countach 25th aniversary it had 472hp. Real beast. I loved it. It was the first real exotic. Let me tell you that car was a pian in the ass to drive the clutch and steering also the brake pedal was like trying to move a bolder. You would get tires of driving it after 20 minutes. My ad used to take a nap after he drove it for a few hours. Ergonomics were zero. It was just about speed. Now Audi has made it better.

Also, they made a quite a few updates on the Egear and updates on the gearing and ECU. Overall great price as 150K is right in the ball park (actually a couple grand low) of where you want to be depending on options. For the lease price though, something is not adding up even with 10K down. it should be more like in the low 2000's range. I have no idea why you hate AWD. On a recent drive, one the guys show AWD superiority when coming into a turn too hot. When all the other cars had to brake hard, the gallardo just pulled right through and gripped and gained traction on the inner wheel. It was amazing.

I thought it seemed like a good deal. But that is the lease price. I double checked. I dont know why its so low but it is. I looked around and you are right all other dealers got them between 2200 and 2400 a month with 10k down. Im negotiating with the guy now. If he doesnt drop any more im not going for it since I wasnt actually planning on getting one until Q1 2007 but if he gives me a really good deal it would be stupid of me to pass it up. So I may have a new toy for the holidays.
Would you go with E gear or 6 speed though. I want E gear but I am afrais of reliability issues.

go 6 speed.. gated shifter is kewl..

I think I might go six speed. My dad had a lot of ferraris and lambos when i was a kid and I just loved driving them just so i could use the gated shifter. I thought it was awesome. But the e gear and ferr F1 shifter just shift so much faster and its so much easier. By the way does your 360 have the F1 or 6 speed
