What is the issue? A $400 fix you can do at home with a lift? Way over blown.

No one really knows the exact numbers but based on all we have seen over the years, it seems to be in the 10% range so I would estimate that no more than 1,400 cars were ever made with the 6-speed manual. Given it was the last Lamborghini model to have a manual transmission, I can bet these cars will start going up in

It was revolutionary in many ways. First being the first reliable Lamborghini that you can actually daily drive. Secondly the first Lamborghini you could drive with a very small chance of being engulfed in flames. And finally, looking at the production numbers, the first Lamborghini where Lamborghini learned how to

That IMHO was Lamborghini’s most incredible achievement. Create a car that is reliable AND does not catch on fire easily. Huge departure from their way of making vehicles. :-)

The 360 is way more dated. By far. The Huracan is much closer to the Gallardo than the 458/488 are to the 360. Just look at the headlights. And please it is the other way around. The Huracan looks so much like the Gallardo. Big difference how you word it. :-)

For anyone that wants to read a bit more about daily living with a Lamborghini, I usually write here (yes, way more stuff coming after a big hiatus).

Exactly. It saved Lamborghini. Most people do not realize that. And yes, it is not a stellar car in any particular way but a great, excellent, all arounder. I do love the car and it as reliable, if not more, than anything I own.

Yeah they hit the bottom like two years ago. Now the manual ones have been climbing steadily in price. As these things age, more get written off by insurance companies and also go to the grave due to cheap fourth/fifth owners that think they are getting a bargain.

Exactly. These are awesome. I am sure I have more somewhere and can always take new ones. :-)

Great cars for sure. Stay away from the e-gear ones, no matter which year.

That said, the Gallardo I would say is as good or better as any Ferrari. Especially the ones from the same period.

Agreed, and more than that, the manual ones will certainly become future classics. The car looks great today, not aged as you mentioned. Back in 2003, it was bat-shit insane. It was light years ahead of the competition, night and day difference. Well just look at the Ferrari 360. Looks dated and did not age well IMHO

Nothing that has no manual transmission option will age well. Reason why I never sold the Gallardo to get a newer Lambo. The Huracan is simply an evolution of the design, not the bat-shit revolution the Gallardo was. To this day it looks edgy, contemporary. Back in the day, it was like Akira manga level.

Exactly as others said. As a V12 owner, nothing is as smooth as these beasts. Once you get one, no turning back.

As someone that owns a Boxster S I agree to a certain extent. Overall it is a pretty damn reliable car and if you take proper care of it, it will run forever and will not cost you much. That said, if you run into odd issues like I had (piece of metal from unknown location got stuck between intake/exhaust valve,

Exactly. Just add a little power and you are all set. No need for winter rubber. I can prove it.

Tom nailed it in the head. I have driven many cars. Many brands. From $300 ones to $1,000,000 beasts. Owned (and still own) some cool vehicles. Nothing gets close to the 750iL. And the reason I still own one to this day. I wrote a lot about why it is one of the best cars every created by men and Aliens. All here:

Just an advice, as someone that owns German and Italian vehicles (including an E38 750iL and a Lamborghini Gallardo): the BMW, home maintenance wise, is WAY, WAY easier to work on for one reason: anyone can buy an used laptop and load all the required software to deal with these cars. NOT the case with the Italians.

Same here. Long time owner. I will not go into the details why this is one of the best vehicles ever created by men. All explained here:

Here is the deal. Not everyone needs a discrete GPU on a laptop. For me the most important factors are portability and RAM, with CPU coming close. As I travel around 150,000 miles every year, lugging something large or even medium, will take its toll. The reason why I switched from a MacBook Air 13" to an XPS 13 with
