Lamborghini Coming to a Store Near You?

No (before you get too excited), there won't be a car dealership with a showroom full of gorgeous Lamborghini's available for window shopping on a Saturday afternoon. There just might be, however, a Lamborghini retail store selling brand items -- so you can have your own more affordable piece of the famous Italian name.

At this point it's just an idea in the works, as Lamborghini is looking for new ways to boost public awareness of its exclusive brand. Previously they've hooked up with Versace and Nokia for different promotions, and now are considering a chain of merchandise stores as part of a bigger plan for controlled growth. Don't look for a sudden flood of Lamborghini's in your neighborhood though, because the newest $170,000+ Gallardo Superleggera model has at least a 1 year waiting list -- and Lamborghini wants to keep it that way.

Lamborghini is actually a Spanish company, guys. Come on. How about some better fact-checking. Thanks.

To really check your facts, it's an Italian company based in Sant'Agata, Bolognese, Italy. The founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini was a Spaniard who lived in Italy.
Made tractors first, then moved on to cars after supposedly being snubbed by Enzo Ferrari over a bad clutch.
Where in the world did you get your facts joshy?
