Never Adam..Would never have put you down as someone who would not like the 456....A true beauty......When it came out if had hints of Daytona but bought the styling up to date.....Stunning car....
FF, is my fav car at the moment and is top of my list but one thing I would not call it is good looking.....It is agreesive and unusual but good looking not so sure...But then lots of great cars aren't.

Love the 612 and that is a particularly nice one. A true 'understated' Ferrari. It is an indictment of how huge it is with those wheels looking small - and they do look small! I expect the trade off is a very good ride quality, something needed in a 4-seat Ferrari. It's not a trackday car.
Would be amazing for cruising down to Monte Carlo in, could do it in a day in that iin perfect comfort and massive pace and agility when needed. Amazing car.
I think that is still going to be a £55-60k car in 2-3 years though, a long way to fall and the entire value of a GS lost just in depreciation!

If the Ferrari can be bought for say £80,000 and is worth say £55,000 in 2 or 3 years is that much worse than a GTS bought at £55,000 and worth mid thirties in 2 or 3 years???? What I like about the Ferrari is its rarity as well as being understated

When you put it that way - no. And I know I would rather be in the Scag. Is the GTS better looking? It's subjective and my opinion is yes, slightly. But my money would go on the Scag, it's a different league of car, a Ferrari V12 with so much road presence.
If you can, I think you should do this - would love to have a ride in one!

God, the GT-S is HUGE 
Still the Scag for me, though there really is nothing in it on looks or performance. My deciding factor would be that one is a £180k car and one is an £80k car. I would rather own the more expensive car if the sums work out the same depreciation wise (assuming I could afford it in the first place). Dount there would be a huge difference on runing costs if done at Emblem etc.

HR Owen told me to work out the servicing costs against a Maserati you should divide the running costs of a Maserati by 8 and then multiply by 12 for the Ferrari. In addition you have belt change to consider not to mention clutch which is notoriously more expensive for Ferrari. I dont want to think of costs like exhaust or I would never make the purchase. Lets face it a car that is almost double the cost of a Maserati is bound to have bigger costs attached to it

Sensible - same applies to V12 Vs V8 Astons obviously! Parts like exhaust can always come from the aftermarket and you can check the clutch for lifespan I assume like a Maserati CC unit?

Spot on the rear of the 612 is just brilliant..rear of GT not so....So need the front of the GT and back of the Ferrari.
