should have been a coupe 2+2 to compete against a 612 and CL63/65

Damn you VW Group!

I love it, I think it looks great!

Front end, especially the headlights somewhat are reminiscent of the original LF-A (I) concept.

I think what bothers me is that the front and rear dont match the sides of the car. I kinda dont like that buck tooth front either. It looks like a chop mating of an aston with a lambo.

I think they should just stick to making the exotic supercars rather than trying to muck up the brand with a sedan that they'll probably called a 4 door coupe. We all saw what happened when they got into the SUV game... It failed.

I don't think I would spend money on it but it is still cool nonetheless. I'm glad that they didn't name it Urus because it sounds like uterus lol

Looks pretty good esp. side profile.
However that frontal view is pretty aweful with the cleft palate

I'll take the AM Rapide

i personally think that the LM002 succeeded in what it was supposed to do

it is being sold to at least one military
which they did
sold 40 to Saudi Arabia's army
and around 100 to Libyan army

and more civilian versions to rich people in Saudi Arabia

but back to this car
no one ever expects Lamborghini to sell their cars like Toyota
but one thing for sure is there will still be a lot of rich people buying into the luxury high-performance 4 door coupe niche market

interesting, i think i like it. mightl ike it a little better if the front vents were a little smaller overall.

kinda looks like a squished and stretched dodge charger from the side to me.

really like the front ... im alrite w. the back (not in love, but i'll get over it) ... something about the side is not working for me .... & i think the rear wheel flare is a little too muscle-car-ish

The freakin thing needs 23' rims to get a good stance and proportion. Everything that is 21' and under would look underwhelming on it

I am not sure if I like it or not. It does not look all that exotic or great to me and almost resembles something Dodge might come out with or a Dodge concept car I saw a couple years ago. If I were to hear Lambo was coming out with a 4 door and was looking forward to it and then saw this I would probably be disappointed but I was never expecting it so I am not sure how I feel. It would look better if it were a wider and a little lower and resembled a Lambo Mercielago more as some of its design elements just don't seem very exotic and seem more American muscle car. I am not a fan of the new Panamara and at least this Lambo has a normal sedan look and proportion instead of that odd goofy hatchback station wagon design of the Porsche Panamara. I still want to see what they did with the interior but I would have rather this new car have been a 2 door GT car or super high performance exotic.
