Well, it seems as though Italian exotic car manufacturer Lamborghini pays attention to the internet rumor-mill. Just yesterday, Lamborghini released a very short statement that (at least for now) puts to rest the idea that its four-door concept car has been scrapped.

After record-breaking sales in 2008, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann told Automotive News that 2009 presents a “big challenge” for the company to remain profitable.

In fact, Winkelmann said that sales are already off by “slightly less” than 40 percent in the early stages of 2009.

Last year, despite the downward trend of the global economy, Lamborghini somehow managed to sell 2,430 units — a record year for the Italian luxury sports car company.

A recent increase in order cancellations seems to be the trend. Customers are walking away from agreements right at the point where they would normally be picking up their new car at the dealership.
