Lamborghini joins the rest of us misfits, offers podcasts on iTunes

Does Ferrari lower itself to do a podcast? No – and you could argue that it doesn't need to. Lamborghini has always had a knack for forging its own way, and rather than acting aloof, it's inviting everyone into the cult of the brand. The big tent that Lamborghini's erected in the iTunes store is called "The World of Lamborghini," and it strikes us a a very smart marketing move.
To geek out for a moment, we think it's a good use of marketing dollars because while the production costs are obviously significant, distribution costs are far less than even a modest broadcast campaign. Besides, when was the last time you saw a Lamborghini spot? Right. The podcasting effort will further cement Lamborghini's aspirational, yet within reach, status. It also helps that the videos Lamborghini is disseminating are hella cool, and thus work just as designed. Our Reventon lust is even more serious now that we've seen the video that's reminiscent of the Six Million Dollar Man. Check it out on iTunes.

Dan must have forgotten to make it, "aspirational, yet within reach of the average NBA rookie, status"

Alex, as usual, has a good point - but - you CAN get a Gallardo for 180K or so. Sure, it's a stretch, but I'd call that attainable for a striver.

I love Lambo for the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously like Ferrari does. While at same time Lambo is pumping out products which are on par with Maranello's offerings. Props to them.

Lamborghini doesn't take itself too seriously? Is that what you just said. Wow how clueless are you my friend. Anyone who feels that a company that exclusively sells $275,000 cars is a light and friendly, down to earth enterprise is hugely disconnected from reality. Lambo is as pretentious and preposterous as the other luxury marques.
