Because Lambo has no racing heritage. Ferrari's brand is not just built on the road cars, it's built on racing. Look at the amount of red at any F1 race. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Geoff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2007 1:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lamborghini contemplates going retail]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good to know but IMO, I have always seen Ferrari as the dominant exotic supercar manufacturer. It didn't help when VW of all companies took ownership of Lamborghini as well.<br><br>And btw, it's Lamborghini Automobili SpA :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Luigi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2007 3:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lamborghini contemplates going retail]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think that a Lamborghini laptop would be way cooler than one of those lame Ferrari laptops that are way overpriced.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Penguin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2007 3:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lamborghini contemplates going retail]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ferrari makes more profits via merchandise and merchandise licensing then they do for all the production earnings. It isn't a difficult leap to assume VW/Audi wants a piece of that too with the Lamborghini brand. Go to the Rome International Airport and you can go through the Ferrari store there - excessively overpriced, of course.<br><br>The problem with the Lamborghini image, aside from the scant racing success, is that for years in the US the brand wasn't groomed and selectively managed. So cheap products were emblazened with the bull and distinctive logo name. <br><br>Frankly if I saw a guy wearing a Lamborghini jacket I'd have to snicker as it just tends to smack of being wannabe - regardless if the guy truly does own one of the cars. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spectacular Bid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 20th 2007 5:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lamborghini contemplates going retail]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/20/lamborghini-contemplates-going-retail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lamborghini used to be so special.

And I do remember how excited an ex-boyfriend once was just to have a Jaguar t-shirt, so I'm guess there is a serious market here. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[QueenMab]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 21st 2007 10:23AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
