Re: Huracan AMS test

Good video review from Autocar in the UK. Lots of understeer there!
http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-video/video-lamborghini-huracan-review
On test drives from Journalist we have seen on mags or videos everybody seems to like the Huracan, but the way they express themselves, is if they were talking about a Golf GTI or Megane Sport, and not about a new supercar from Lamborguini. If you compare the review on this same mags of 458 or 991GT3 they speak with passion and are overwhelmed by driving pleasure those cars provide! As to Huaracan they are not very impresse, they simply like and say it´s a good product. Anyway, this worth was is worth, what really matters is real life ownership, still from what I´ve been seeing on videos and magazines, 458, 650S and 991GT3 seem to be much more passionate cars than Huracan!
If I had to choose one without driving any, my choise would be Huracan, the V10 sound and looks are simply on another league compared with the other 3, but afer a driving test, I believe I could change my mind. Would like to hear opinions from those who had the chance to drive the Huracan and compare it with competition.

Comparison with a Golf GTI is, in a strange way, very important and indicates that Lamborghini has achieved their goal of building an everyday supercar. Porsche, historically, had little repeat customers, though there exists a very rapid owner base, for the 911 because once the aura of the car wore away, its lack of practicality was revealed. Lamborghini faces that very same problem and by building a more everyday livable car, that Huracan is more likely to remain longer with the same owner.
