Default The $285,000 Lemon.
Hawaii buyer sues over 'lemon' Lamborghini

Quote:

Auto dealer Morrie Stoebner thinks he knows a lemon when he sees it. These days the owner of Honda Windward said he doesn't have to look farther than his own parking space, which houses a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago purchased for $285,579.

The sleek "super car," which can hit speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour, is at the heart of a legal dispute between one of Hawai'i's biggest Honda dealers and one of the world's leading exotic carmakers.

Yeah, I know it's late, but I didn't notice this article the first time around in the papers. I only saw it after I was prepping my Newspapers for the recycling bin.
