Nope, I was thinking the exact same, and it's not a bad thing!

My main concern is that it looks more Lotus than Lamborghini, it lacks that initial wow factor that Lambo's usually give.

I have always liked the Miura in the same way as the GT40, it has a timeless look.

Lamborghini hasn't turned out a bad looking car, except maybe the Countach, thats the worst looking car they've ever made IMO.

There was an exotic workshop nearby Richmond TAFE, I was walking back to the train station to go home during my apprenticeship and I saw a Lamborghini Miura trying to drive around, stalling all the time for some reason, it would start, run rough and stall and the guy was limping it around Cremorne street, and you could smell the fuel from it walking along the footpath.

That's a Lamborghini?!?! Where's the crazy styling we have seen recently? No flames, 60inch rims made from baby tears or lights that cause a seizure.

Looks like a car a normal person could drive! Beautiful still.

It doesn't look crazy enough to be a Lamborghini. Looks way to mainstream
