Default Gallardo vs. Murcielago

i'm still new here, i just haven't been on in a while, but is it just me or does the Gallardo look better than the Murcielago? (If this topic has already been done, i'm sorry, still trying to find out how to work this page, i'm computer illiterate.)

No it doesn't half....The Murcielago is probably the best looking Lamborghini since the countach...

that's the ORIGINAL murcielago..not the LP640..not the SV....not the Reventon

The gallardo just looks like..well...a wanna be lambo...

The Murcielago is a gorgeous car, and whenever one goes by you KNOW it..and you turn your head..regardless of how much you like or hate the car, you look at it..

The Gallardo on the other hands, you may look at it..but you can easy avert your eyes from it...if there's a badazz porsche next to it..you're just as likely to get drawn into the porsche with the GT3 on the back as you are the Gallardo....

The Murcielago however, just looks devilishly evil, it's like a mermaid of the road...
IT charms you in with it's beauty and you'll never be seen again.

Half, i understand...but wait till you see...wait till you hear a Murcielago....

You thought Gallardo's were nice?

The Murcielago has soo much more presense than a Gallardo, the Gallardo is small, it's "cute"...

Lambo's aren't CUTE..
lambo's were never cute..until the Gallardo..

they've always been..
"i will KILL you if you drive me" cars..
they're bullets with the drivers names on it.

The Gallardo might be a projectile, but it's more like a beanbag with your name on it

Drifster has it down IMO. I think the Gallardo is like a little brother to the Murcielago, it has a V10 which should never go into a Lamborghini, and it doesn't have Lamborghini's beautiful scissor doors. I think it is a good looking car, but the Murcielago is so much more mean looking.

Default cute? no, sexy...

i reaaaaaaaaally love the Gallardo, but it's true, where are the Lamborghini style doors? and a bigger than the v10, it has that essence, italaian, but I like the most the Murcielago, because, well, the Reventon, the LP640, the SV, they're... yes... Murcielagos

well, maybe I agree in the part of:
The Murcielago has soo much more presense than a Gallardo, the Gallardo is small, it's "cute"...

but a supercar like a Lamborghini can be ''cute'' (in a mean way) they look baad, gorgeous, damn hot, they're the sexiest cars I've ever seen... ^
see you guys |

yes... it says SEXY -------------------------------------

Exterior is completely depends on who views them. Some might say the gallardo looks better, while other say the Murcielago. But, I'm going with the crowd on this one. The Murcielago looks much better than the Gallardo, not saying the Gallardo looks ugly, but the Murcielago is just better IMO.

The Gallardo looks more beautiful than the Murcielago, but the Murcielago looks cooler.

So attention whores like me would say the Murcielago, although the Gallardo actually looks better, but in a wrong way.

The Murcielago. It's the real deal, and my favorite car of all time. Big, badass, powerful, and beautiful.

The Murcielago does look better than the Gallardo...which i see it as a less muscular Lambo. No wonder they call the Gallardo the "Baby-Lambo"

what makes you think the original Murcielago looks better than the LP640? I really can't see the difference. and I've looked closely! I've seen both in person. and I have more pictures of them than I have of myself. I love them both. The LP640 just got better wheels and tail lights. The bumpers look slightly different and also the exhaust. otherwise, they look pretty much the same. please show me what I'm missing over here.

The giant hoover vacume side ducts, the exhaust...eww, the front splitter, the front brake ducts.... The lights are the only good change.

Looks are always subjective, so there is no definitive answer. But FWIW-

In terms of looks IMO, from best to worst-

1. Gallardo LP560
2. Murcie LP640
3. Gallardo
4. Murcie
