They're so boring that you still have to pay sticker price for a used 360, and people are offering 100k over sticker for a 430. Enzos went for almost 1.5 mil.
550 bland? 550 class. If you buy cars because they're loud, or because they look like the car that the pimp down the street has, you're on the wrong track. If you like to drive a supercar, you will not buy a Lamborghini. If you want to show off, you'll buy one, but you don't really love them. You love what they bring to you. And by the way, in that case, a Ferrari will get you as laid as much, and that includes a lot of other cars, like a BMW Z8, and a bunch of others. You REALLY cannot love cars, and drive a Lamborghini, unless it's a crazy Miura. I spent time with the people that used run the tragic Lamborghini F1 program. Believe me, they had no clue.
I spent endless times in F1 paddocks, and with Rally racing teams, like Lancia. It's no Nascar, you know...It's real racing, real technology, real passion, not a joke.
There're people out there that think that Rolex is a cool watch. It's a cute thing, but if you love watches, you will buy something else (If you can afford it), like a Patek. Why? Because those are watches. You can buy the Gioconda poster, and pretend it gives you the same emotions as the real thing, but it's not the same thing. It's still a flat, emotionless, poster.
Maybe you can go down the store, and plug glowing neons on it, but it will make it cheesy, not the real one.
Class, thanks God, cannot be purchased, or taught. Ask yourself why only certain countries love Lamborghinis, and Italians are not among them. Ask yourself why the countries that love Lamborghinis are not known to have the best taste, or the deepest cultural level. In Italy they label Lamborghini owners as butchers that made money, and they know a thing or two about good taste.

If it emotionally moves you, drive it. End of story. I've driven every Lambo produced over the past decade, each is fantastic, including the "Audi" Gallardo and "Audi" Murcielago.
Can't say the same for Ferrari, which I've also driven with the exception of the Enzo. The 550/575 are bland, and far too quiet/reserved. The 360 is boring, all bark, no bite. The 360CS is louder, more emotional which I like, a tad bit faster, but is still left behind by every competitor car in the $200k price range.
Pedigree doesn't mean shit unless you're a collector, and with 20,000 360s produced over the past six years, they aren't about to go up in value anytime soon.
Get over it. |
