the only way I can see it is if you mean the Miura concept then the rear lights look similar but thats about it

They did at the beginning of this year. Edit: heres the other threads about this: http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=3255 http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=2957 and here is Diablo's/Egg/Runny Egg/God/Newage Custard response to it: http://forum.turboduck.net/showpost.php?p=32508&postcount=106

lol, I think this is the third or fourth thread we've had about this. IIIRC its a german site, can't remember how long its been up but I do know Diablo is aware of it. I don't think that one is a dirtect rip off of here tho.

lol, I know but it was in response to Hims post about 2 doored lambo's. anyways back on topic the Estoque would be a good car to see in the game, espoecially if there was the 4 door Aston and Porka to rival it.

How about this 2 door lambo?? http://0301.netclime.net/1_5/198/370/01a/1216917605899660.JPG

Why not, its a great looking car

The new Routemaster, due in 2011 in time for the Olympics. Hope it goes ahead will be good, better than them poxy bendy busses

Lambo has the 4 seater in works but thats all i think

I reckon it'll have another facelift if its that far off but then if it was caught testing last year I doubt they will wait till 2011 to release it

2011 the murci will be ancient by then. Plus the report syas the will be in 2009

Rumormill: Lamborghini working on two rear-wheel-drive cars for 2009 by Frank Filipponio on Dec 18th 2008 at 7:01PM Those who have been praying for a two-wheel drive Lamborghini, your wishes may have been granted twofold. De Telegraaf is reporting that Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed not one, but two different rear-drive-only Lambos for 2009. First up will be a Murciélago LP640-2 with 640 HP coming from its mid-mounted longitudinal V12. The "2" at the end of the moniker signifies two-wheel-drive, separating it from the current LP640-4 equipped with AWD. It's still possible this model will be dubbed SV for Super Veloce. It's no Diablo SVTT or Murcielago R-GT, but it'll do. Next up will be the a new Superleggera Gallardo LP560-2, as in Superlight Gallardo, with a longitudinal 560 HP engine in back, also driving the rear wheels. That should keep the Gallardo neck-and-neck with the Scuderia from arch-nemesis Ferrari. The elimination of the AWD equipment should save quite a few kilos and make the driving experience a bit hairier for anyone intent on stepping up to wrestle these bulls. Expect to see them late next year, possibly as 2010 models. Gallery: Lamborghini Murcielago SV - spy shots [source: Autotelegraaf.nl]

BMW loses Clonewars Italian court battle by Michael Harley on Dec 19th 2008 at 7:59AM Take a close look at the image. A court in Italy has just ruled that the crossover pictured above, the five-seat CEO built by Shuanghuan Automobile of Shijiazhuang, China, is not a clone of the BMW X5. Um... yeah. The legal battles began when Shuanghuan introduced their "Noble" last year, a near-clone of the Smart fortwo. Mercedes-Benz wasn't impressed, and threatened a lawsuit. Shortly thereafter, BMW started losing sleep over the Chinese CEO, an obvious facsimile of their previous-generation X5 (E53). The Bavarian automaker took Shuanghuan to court in Munich this past summer and won their case, and when Martin Motors (the distributor of Shuanghuan Automobiles in Italy and central Europe) started selling the CEO in early 2007, BMW again took legal action, this time in the Italian judicial system. Last week, the Germans met their defeat when the Italian courts rejected their claims. To date, Martin Motors has sold about 200 copies of the CEO and expects to sell about 1200 this year in their European markets. "We are convinced the CEO wasn't a clone of the X5. We are happy to see our view supported by a court ruling," said an obviously pleased spokesperson from Martin Motors. We have to wonder how quickly the Italians would change their tune if Shuanghuan began to knock-off the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. [source: Automotive News, subs. req'd] From Autoblog

I'm not sure how this would work as if you notice all new clothes you dont need to download or pay for. So if you was to download stuff from EA would others be able to see it and how would it work?? Its probably all stuff MS are working on with the dev's but it will be a while til we see it imo.

Thats a bit pants, and if i'm honest building a PC was easy (i was well worrying about my 1st build). Shame as you would have had a nice rig

I wonder how all this will effect the sales and shares of Bovril

Its official Officially official: Subaru leaving World Rally Championship by Noah Joseph on Dec 16th 2008 at 9:58AM Click above to view Subaru's 2008 WRC car in our high-resolution image gallery Rally fans who were troubled by the rumors yesterday that Subaru was preparing to do the unthinkable and scrap its WRC team will be disappointed to learn that the speculation has proven to be true, as parent company Fuji Heavy Industries has announced it is pulling its participation effective immediately. Not unlike its fellow Japanese automaker Honda, which has canceled its Formula One program, Fuji Heavy points to cost-cutting measures amidst the current global economic crisis as its reason for canceling its motorsport program. Still, it's a shocking move for the automaker that earned its reputation on the rally circuit, even if they haven't won a single stage since 2005. The move also means that Prodrive, the racing consultancy firm that has operated the Subaru WRC team for over 20 years, will need to find a new partner for next season and beyond as the WRC moves ahead with new regulations. But Prodrive may find the rally circuit a lonely place after Suzuki also canceled its participation, leaving Ford and Citroen as the only manufacturers fielding factory teams in the top level of rallying. Follow the jump for the official press release. PRESS RELEASE FHI to withdraw from FIA WRC after 2008 season Tokyo, December 16, 2008 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, today announced the withdrawal from the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) at the end of the 2008 season. FHI has participated in the WRC together with Prodrive, a motorsports and automotive engineering group in the UK, over the past 19 years to pursue its goal and philosophy in motor sports activities to enhance Subaru brand awareness by showing that Subaru vehicles offer safe, comfortable and pleasurable driving no matter the weather or road conditions, featuring Horizontally-Opposed engine and the Symmetrical All-Wheel drive system as its core technologies, and to transfer results of race-tested technical improvements into Subaru passenger vehicles. Subaru has won three manufacturer's championship titles and three driver's championship titles in its history of rally racing. This has helped enhance the value of the Subaru brand as well as the sales expansion of Subaru vehicles all over the world. FHI considers it has achieved its original target in WRC participation. However, while considering positioning the WRC activity in Subaru branding strategy towards the future, our business environment has been dramatically changed due to the quick deterioration of the global economy. In order to optimize the management resources and to strengthen further the Subaru brand, FHI decided to withdraw from WRC activities at the earliest timing. As regards future involvement in rally activities, FHI will continue to support teams and drivers that participate in P-WRC or the Group N category. President Mori commented that reaching this decision has been an extremely difficult task, not least with regards to the countless Subaru fans that for many years have cheered the legendary Subaru blue liveried Impreza World Rally Car; "We would like to express our sincere appreciation for our fans' strong and loyal support worldwide. They will remain an invaluable treasure for us." Capitalizing on the priceless experience gained throughout the history in the WRC field, FHI will continue to offer Subaru customers products that integrate sheer excitement, safe, comfortable and reliable driving, respect of the global environment and peace of mind based on its philosophy of "Customer comes first." About Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, is a leading manufacturer in Japan with a long history of technological innovations that dates back to its origin as an aircraft company.
