Good car though it is there are 3 problems with the Gallardo.

1 - It's too small for me to drive.

2 - It hasn't got a 1/4 of the class and charisma of a 599.

3 - Gallardo is actually pronounced Gayardoh. I'm not having a car called that.
 
wonderful looking car, it would certainly be at the top of my list if I had the oppertunity to buy something like that. God knows how anyone can compare it to a tarted up Merc.

Great choice!

Fair do's.

But they could call the Gallardo a 'Il pezzo di merda' (Thanks freetranslation :p) and i'd still cream myself over it :p

i think thats a spelling mistake on his point

Ak -ur - ah would be right. But if you look most of the others are right, i just think he choses a bad way of phonetically (sp?) spelling them. Look at saleen,Chimeara, renault, peugeot etc..

number of people ive heard them called Ren -orts is amazing
 
Some of his examples are flaky, but Gallardo is Spanish and the Spaniards pronounce double L as Y.

So, after me ... GAYARDO :D
