Definitely still lost. Not sure what "people like [me]" implies, but the Murcielago was never an entry level. Heck, it was the ONLY car they made when it came out, so it couldn't be any "level".

??

 

lol, didn't mean that to sound racial or anything. i believe what jox was saying is that there is a likelihood that an SV or Jota version will be released making the standard car essentially entry level as the murcie became with the advent of the SV. same applies for the gallardo with the superleggera and balboni models becoming top of the range leaving the standard car as the entry level into the model.

 

I wouldn't do it for a few reasons.

670 SV was top of the Murcie line, and limited in production. All the quirks in the Murcielago line were worked out and this was the pinnacle.

The 700 will be great no doubt. However knowing Lamborghini the model will continue to evolve as years pass. I was very happy with my 05 Murcielago that I bought new, and could definitely appreciate the advances it had over the 02-04 cars.

Financially speaking you'd be giving up a car that will eventually appreciate over a car that will not.

Keep the 670 for another year or so and wait for 2nd year production 700 at the very earliest.

 

Ahhh. As in "entry level" to that particular model range. This is a good point, especially considering the number of special editions and slightly tweaked variants Lamborghini comes up with. You could buy it and then in a couple years there'll be a faster version of it.

However, there's a flip side to this: the best version of each car comes at the end of its life. And then that last hurrah super over the top version of the model in question is trounced by the "basic" first apparition of the new car. Much like the 560 is way faster than the 08SL, and the first Murcielago was faster than even the latest Diablo. I think this effect will be somewhat lesser with the LP700 due to the sheer amount of new technology being brought forward. It will be one of the most amazing cars in the world (we're talking like top 3) for a few years for sure.

my 2 cents

 

Dealers are out to make money, not make good decisions for you lol Keep the SV

 

Exactly. You either want the lastest model (the first generation, like the Original Diablo, Original Murciélago, Original LP700) or the last, most tuned, SV model (Diablo GTR, LP670-SV, etc).

At least that's how I'd look at it. I wouldn't trade in my car every single time a new model comes out, you wouldn't enjoy your current car

 

My Gallardo was at the Detroit NAIA show in 2004. With just a few tweaks it'll still outrun an 08SL

I'd kill for one of these LP700's though The Gallardo was always more of a driver's car than the Murcielago, but this new one looks sharp as hell!

 

Technology is moving forward, it's progressing constantly through R&D. So naturally the newest technology can only be as advanced or more than the best (and less than best) of last year. Sure the application matters but I think it's hard to argue things like the interface gauges/screen/controls don't get a lot better on new models. The Murcielago interior is awful. Few cars age well on the INSIDE imo. I don't mean the application of suspension/engines/etc., but simple technology. Obviously a 2010 Corolla lacks in every department still to basically every car made in 2009.

 

This was about the same advice I gave you also Jon. Wait for the 2nd year production.

I bought a 06 Murcielago which was a very diffrent car than the 01-04 cars.

 

^ yup
w8 till they come out with a newer version just like the murcie 6.2-->lp640
