It is a Lamborghini like no other before it: a four-door sports car that sticks resolutely to its creed. The Lamborghini Estoque concept has everything that defines a Lamborghini: extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian. It brings a whole new versatility to the brand’s DNA – with its four seats and ample luggage space, this “everyday sports car” is a perfect fit for an equally versatile lifestyle.
Estoque is a study, a concept created specifically for the 2008 Salon d’Automobiles in Paris. From the very first glance there can be no doubt that this is a Lamborghini – a car with compelling presence, both unique and unmistakable. The long wheelbase, the low profile, the broad track, the mighty, accentuated wheels, the clean surfaces and razor-sharp definition – every single line breathes the spirit of the Lamborghini brand.
The Concept
Estoque embodies the concept of a Lamborghini that is both a dedicated sports car and a relaxed Gran Turismo. As a sedan with four doors and four individual sports seats, it is a multi-faceted vehicle for multi-faceted lifestyles.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.
I like it. Even if it does not go in to production with all the same lines, it should still have enough to keep it very appealing.
As for 4 door cars in general, let's face it, there are a lot of really great looking 4 door sedans on the market now. The idea that a 4 door sedan is "only" a family car is not quite accurate now days.

I think Lamborghini got the idea from the Porsche Panamera, which the Porsche website lauds as "The Only True Sports Car For 4 - Be the first to see the Panamera". Porsche owners wanted to puke when they saw how bad the Panamera concept vehicle looked. The production Panamera isn't any better. Both Porsche and now even Lamborghini are looking to take some of the market that Maserati found with its Quattroporte (a name which literally means four doors). I think making 4-door sedans just diminishes the stature of the marques Porshe and Lamborghini.
And I disagree with Shartley. There are only a few great car designs on the market and none of them are sedans. There are a few more designs that have decent styling, and some of those are sedans. And there are a whole lot of plain and boring cars now that are fine if all you want is basic transportation and you don't care what it looks like.

No worries. It is all about personal opinion. After all, there are a LOT of people who dislike Mustangs. And my wife can not stand Corvettes (of which I like quite a bit).
It's all good.
