This is such a shame. It's an insult to the brand, really. Lamborghini's used to be so raw...

Micropenis must be an epidemic these days.

I am going to play devil's advocate a little here. Let me preface this by saying that every car I have ever owned has 3 pedals and I much prefer to drive a manual for the same reason as all of the rest of you. However, for a brand like Lamborghini, how many people really buy or order one with a manual anyway. It has to be such a small amount that this really is an insignificant change. I would like to know the percentage of Gallardos and Murcies that have a manual. I bet it is a very small number.

Honestly anyone that would order a Lambo with a manual transmission is probably already buying a Porsche anyway. I love driving with that 3rd pedal, but if I were buying a Lambo I probably wouldn't order it that way. As long as I had a fun car with 3 pedals like a Porsche to go along with it.

I guess my point is that for 98% of potential buyers out there, lack of a manual option isn't going to prevent them from buying a Lambo. Some of you included. If you are really wanting a Lamborghini I doubt this would be a dealbreaker.

All that said though....it is kind of sad that isn't even an OPTION. We should still have the choice. And it's a scary trend in the automotive world.

Hell ya for all the Ford GT love! One of my all time favorites along with the CGT.

CGT and FGT are the last of a dying breed and I plan on owning both some day. Oh the things I would do...

Werd. Two of my all time favorite cars. Unfortunately, the CGT will never be in my reach. The FGT is a super slim chance. But why is it the cars I want oh so badly are one of the few that actually APPRECIATE in value (rhetorical ?. I know the answer). Dammit.

This actually thoroughly pisses me off. What an absolute shame. I understand their logic (money) but at the expense of pissing off a ton of its truest fans in the process. Sad day.

Change? By change, do you mean $60-70K b/c I've never seen a good example less than $160K
