Maybe all this 2012 knuckleheaddery is real after all.

Ehhh, Porsche already did it, and they were a much classier brand.

It makes sorta sense.
Lambo is a hypercar maker.
As we know from Top Gear, while supercars are for messing with g-forces, hypercars are for messing with g-strings. Being fairly unmanageable is par for the course for a Lambo, the three men who had tested the LOT of Lambos actually found the Gallardo to be somewhat un-Lambo because it has handling appropriate to it's power output. A hypercar is supposed to be loud, brash and overpowered with bad handling and appealing to what people unknowledgeable about good cars expect from an expensive motor.
What sportscars were forty years ago, SUVs are today, manager's cock prothesis.
SUV fits right in there.

not only is it a disgusting idea but doesn't it come something like 5 years too late ? I'm building a special hate drawer in my heart for anyone who would dare to choose to ride that thing. It's even closer to the center of hell than the drawer with the cayenne owners.

SSCAM beat me to it, Lambo started as a tractor company, making SUV's is right up their alley. If some rich cunt wants to ride around in this overpriced POS I could care less. After all it's probably based on a Touareg/Cayenne platform with the W motor? Just another VW parts bin car

I can remember reading a review of the LM002 in Four Wheeler magazine in the mid 1980's. It went something like: blah blah blah, luxurious, blah blah blah, not very capable off road, blah blah blah, buy a jeep.

It looks like an Isuzu Vehicross with a Gallardo front end slapped onto it.

The LM was the equivalent of a Humvee built by a little human sized italian factory 30 years before the trend of the big companies SUV. It was as loud and ostentatious as the countach, brute, big, ugly notoriously unreliable and unpractical. It was an aristocrat tank.
This... this is an audi 10 years after all audi's.

Lamborghini isn't just a tractor branch of audi, form its origins, it's a man who says, "fuck you ferrari, if you can't make your stupid cars the way I want thel to be, I'll just do it myself and beat you to it".
Of course, he never really did but that only adds to the beauty of the story.
It's big, it's square, it's ugly, it's an audi. oh wait no, it's bright orange, it must be a lamborghini then.

I think I'd rather have this:

I could really care less. It really isn't any more obnoxious than any other Lambo.

Plus, you can pack it full of fly honeys when you rent one for your hip-hop video shoot.

Porsche SUV is an oxymoron... fucking blasphemous.

What's next? A Peterbilt F1 entry?


As for the Lambo, it's so over-the-top ridiculous I'd actually drive one..... and I'd have a stupid grin on my face the whole time while blasting some Celine Dion (or something equally heinous) at 11.


For overengineered silliness though, I'll have one of these...

Its a Unimog. They were (and still are) made by Mercedes-Benz. Looks like one imported by CASE a bunch of decades ago.

It was developed as a turnip harvesting vehicle directly after WW2.
The US Army apparently uses them to recover Humvees that got stuck. New models aren't as pretty, though. Brilliant bit of engineering, though.

I'm aware of what it is, not sure what it has to do with my post...

It has nothing to do with your post snowflake.
It's my comment on absurdly over the top european Sport Utility Vehicles. I'd rather have a Unimog than probably anything else.

you lamos can argue about that posermobile.......

I'm using my student loans to get one of these:

you can have the best of both world (just that it is painfully underpowered and slow compared to the others but who really cares ?)

It's not underpowered. It's powered just as much as it needs to be - it's a tool, an industrial machine.
That's what I love about Unimogs. They are actually designed for utility and purpose, none of the flash that other cages need to sell.
Also, it doesn't need to be quick on the road, that is only it's secondary traveling environment. The further it gets off the road, the quicker it gets (in relative quickness).

underpowered compared to an overpowered cayenne or lambo SUV.

That's like saying a leaf blower is underpowered compared to a CBR1000RR

Meh. If I can't have the whale penis leather interior, it's just not worth it.

Thats tough, BMW has an exclusive contract for whale foreskin. Makes the best riding gear.

My friend has one. Unless you are 5' 9" or shorter, forget about trying to fit behind the wheel. Seats are not adjustable and my knees were pressed TIGHT against the dashboard, straddling the wheel.

They fixed that. New models have a four way adjustable seat. Five way if you get the luxury swing-seat option.

As I clicked on this thread, Jim Morrison started singing "This is the end...."

Spotify is now freaking me out.
