Taken from www.lamborghini.co.uk True to the tradition in which the bull has always been the symbol of Automobili Lamborghini, the Murciélago has been baptized with the name of a fighting bull, Murciélago, whose life was spared after a fierce fight with a Spanish matador in 1879. He was subsequently given to the breeder Don Miura and went on to father a formidable line of fighting bulls that extends down to the present day.
From www.lambocars.com True to the tradition in which the bull has always been the symbol of the prestigious motorcar company founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini ¾ born under the sign of Taurus, no less ¾ the management at Automobili Lamborghini have decided to baptise the latest car in the noble line with the name of a fighting bull. And so, after a succession of names linked to the world of the corrida, such as Miura, Jslero, Urraco, Bravo, Jalpa and Espada (the latter being Spanish for sword, the weapon of the matador, and thus a symbol for the matador himself) we now have Murciélago ¾ which coincidentally also means "bat" in Spanish. An unusual name, perhaps, but nonetheless one that effectively expresses the dynamism, elegance and power of the latest thoroughbred to emerge from the Lamborghini stable.
And finally from www.caranddriver.com Enter the Murciélago (say mercy-ell-ah-go), Lamborghini's attempt to wedge a few modern standards into the preposterous template established by the Lamborghini Miura, Countach, and Diablo. I could've sworn I saw it somewhere else that it was pronounced differently, oh well. Mike
I have a dream, and that is a 69 Boss 302 with Jules Asner in it.
Current - 2002 Chevy Silverado
Former - 98 SVT E0 T-Red 4/4/97 #173 of 6535(so long girl, you'll be missed)

[QUOTE]2. Chevy Nova - When GM decided to market this car in Latin America during the 1970's, they obviously never did their homework. The name NOVA was interpretated by the buying public as "No va" meaning that it doesn't run. Would you buy a car model called "It doesn't run"? I think thats just an urban myth. Obviously there were some Spanish speaking people in Latin America who would have pointed out to GM that No Va would be literally translated as "doesn't go" in Spanish. How about the Lark, Edsel, Aspire, Vibe? My all time favorite is the VehiCross. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I just think the Camaro name is very lame. Plus if I had to pick between the 2 F-bodies I'd pick a Firebird too. Good name even... Nicer? No. Faster. Oh hell yeah. My friends WS6 is just nutz. 315HP at the wheels stock & now ~360HP. If you can bolt it on, he has... The LS1 is a very nice engine!
