Consumers traditionally have a “love/hate” relationship with Lamborghini. Either you love them, or you hate them. Rarely is there any middle ground. The new 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo is no exception. The car debuted in 2008 at the Geneva auto show and has garnered considerable news since that time. For aficionados of the brand, the numerical designation will be of great interest.
