Do you crave the questionable status boost that comes with owning a supercar? Love the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 but can't manage its $300,000+ price tag? Well, for the low, low price of £1,500 ($2,400), you can walk away with a Swarovski crystal-studded Lambo...in your pocket. No, you won't be able to drive it, but bling-hoarders like Celine Dion will probably be, like, really jealous, which is just as awesome.

No squares for the Cube -- Nissan has recruited marketing students from ten American universities to draft campaigns for the company's new Cube. Apparently, the company's concerned that old fuddy-duddies on Mad Ave won't be able to speak the hip, new jive required to reach today's 20something buyers. And we have to agree: it'll take clever wordplay to pitch a car that looks like the illegitimate offspring of the Yellow Submarine and grandma's Frigidaire.

For weeks, details of the Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster have been oozing out of Lamborghini headquarters like bourbon from Nick Nolte's pores. Apparently, someone in Sant'Agata Bolognese finally got the picture and sent out a press release--you know, just to make things official.

As expected the LP 650-4 will be a monster. The 6.5-liter V12 will crank out 650hp (didn't see that coming, did you?) and hit 60mph in around 3.4 seconds. It'll top out just over 200mph. The design is a curious gray/orange combo, which reads as "understated elegance" or "80s flashback", depending on your point of view (and age).
