Alleged Gold Digger Prank Shows That a Drop-Top Lambo Can Change a Girl’s Mind

So, there’s this video that claims to be a prank aimed at showing female gold diggers at work. What the crew behind it does is wait at the top of some steps for an attractive young girl to walk up, and then out of the blue ask her out to dinner. Her reaction is gauged before and after the male protagonist, and the main prank stager, shows her he’s driving a convertible Lamborghini Gallardo.

To be frank, I'm personally sick and tired of the propagation of the “women are gold diggers” stereotype and I'd like to say that gender has nothing to do with digging for gold, and that this hurtful view does nothing to constructively improve the situation.

I'm not saying there aren’t women who adopt this tactic to skip the stages of their ascent through the social ranks and amass wealth without working, but men do it just as much and just as tactfully, but they have to adopt a different tactic given the specific social climate associated with each sex – it’s not a trait of women,  it’s a trait of people, and the aforementioned social constraints just mean their way of doing it is the more visible of the two…

Back to the video, what do you think; is it fake, staged or just full of crap? The comments section is yours.

Lamborghini Tells us the End is Approaching for the Gallardo with a Video

In a few weeks from now, the most commercially successful Lamborghini model of all times with more than 10,000 worldwide sales, will enter its 10th year of production, which the Italian carmaker says will be the last for the current Gallardo.
Lamborghini made the announcement through a two minute-long film that takes us for a short trip to the Gallardo's birthplace, while also releasing a special webpage where customers can place their orders for the revamped 2013MY LP 560-4 models and which contains the following statement

Refreshed Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Makes its Debut at the Paris Auto Show

It may not look like it, but when the Gallardo was first launched in 2003, its direct rival was the Ferrari 360.
While Maranello has since launched two new models to compete with the "raging bull", the Sant’ Agata-based supercar maker has simply responded by refreshing the Gallardo and presenting numerous special edition versions.
This practice proved quite successful, as with nearly 13,000 units sold to date, the "baby Lambo" is the brand's best-selling model ever.

Lamborghini CEO Says No to Turbo Engines - At Least Until the End of this Decade

Turbocharging and direct-injection technology are the latest fads when it comes to petrol engines in the auto industry.
While not a pioneer, the Volkswagen Group did its part to bring turbocharging to the masses beginning from the 1990s and its 1.8-liter turbocharged four that powered all sorts of vehicles. Today, the German auto group continues to lead the way with a variety of turbocharged (and supercharged) gasoline lumps, the most recent being its 4.0-liter V8 TFSI with up to 520-horses.
Yet surprisingly, one of the group's flagship brands, Lamborghini, does not have a turbocharged engine and this despite the fact that it has succumbed to the all-wheel drive trend made popular by Audi.
