It has massive presence on the road, think it is stunning. 599 or DBS, that is tricky, both have their faults.

DBS..Not question about..GThe Ferrari is where the obvious money goes........and I find it a bit crass...Sorry just me I suppose...

See i love the exterior of the DBS but the interior, well lets cut to the chase, is like something off an Amstrad. The Sat Nav from a Volvo C30, dreadful, the switchgear and buttons, again Volvo very cheap and nasty. The Ferrari's dashboard is not the best but atleast it is 100% Ferrari. Oh and the key for an Aston, looks like a playstation memory card.

Really Adam...the interior of the DBS and Astons in general are regarding as some of the best......apart from that terrible Transformers gear stick....Recently sat in a V8 Vantage and the interior was well made and felt very...well...rich money......a real feel good factor...For me anyway...

Not into Ferrari really, but if I had to go for one, it would be a Dino, 355 or a 599, very nice car.

Cali is a weird one, when ever i see pics of one i dont think much of it, but see one in the flesh in a nice colour combo, then it looks stunning. 355, oh this one for me, looks excellent value, even has the carbon interior package.

I would have to have a 355 one day, one of the best Ferrari's ever.

Cali is a lovely car to drive. Fabulous engine and a sublime gearbox. Sounds good too but not, IMO, as good as a Grancabrio.

What a 599?? With a few tasty optional extra's then easily. Think the list price is 180K.

I would never buy a brand new Ferrari, even if I could afford one. I think they exploit the fact that most people who spend £200k on a new car are not that bothered about the price if it was £230k they would still buy it. Is a 599 twice the car of a mc shift, I don't think so......that's a very expensive Ferrari badge. However I do understand how you could become caught up in the history of Ferrari when you are sitting in the dealership with your chequebook on hand and a large sum in the bank. I still think I would have three other fantasic cars instead, one of them would be a Ferrari though........

I dont think i would buy a Ferrari brand new, even if i could, for one, i could not be bothered to wait and secondly, the depreciation is pretty bad. Put a private reg on that red 599 i posted and know one would know it was an 07 car, looks brand new with only 10k miles in 3.5 years. Only Ferrari i would have bought brand new was the 599 GTO. Very special car.

See 200k ...Its just too much....So much more I would have in my garage...As with Andrew I would have 2 or 3 cars instead of one.........QP GTS and Aston Vantage V12 maybe.....It you buy used could have a old Elise for track days as well..............
