That's sad. Love those cars. Hate to see something like that.

I always thought it was a shockingly uninspired design for Pininfarina, but then again, they haven't designed an attractive car in a while, IMHO. Maybe this is just a commentary on that fact?

I would. I'd take the beautiful engine out though and put it in an old school Z though. Just not a fan of the body style. The 599 is much more of a looker.

I'm no fan of 550/575 models, but the Scag is really very beautiful when viewed in person! Maybe not in that color, though... shame.

Beat me to it!

I was behind a gorgeous orange Lambo last Sunday in Newport beach, when we went to make a left turn he almost rammed the center divider! To the point where he had to stop, back up, and redirect the car.

Maybe he was new to the car but here is a point for anyone out there who is unaware... if you are just learning to drive your fancy new high performance sports car... the crowded streets of Newport beach on a sunny Sunday afternoon is NOT the best place to start!

Edit: It was one of these, nice looking car... even my GF who is not interested in cars was impressed...by the look of the car not the goofball driving it:
Lamborghini Gallardo=
