I wanted a Strad as soon as the first example came out, almost bought an early two seat, but was tipped thew wink that the 4 seat was coming and decided to hold on. I got mine a couple of years ago and absolutely love it. However, I was recently very tempted to go for a McLaren 570GT, had a couple of test drives and even specced one up. SWMBO convinced me to also look at various 458's which I did. With regard to the Fezza, I simply couldn't bring myself to pay so much for a second hand car, I honestly believe prices are being held artificially high. So on coming back to the Macca, after the test drive I found myself curiously underwhelmed by the experience. Don't get me worng, it's a stunning car, but it's so damned good that as a driver I felt I was only a small part of the package, a bit like playing on a Playstation, had the same with the Fezza. These DCt's are so slick, the driver plays no part in the change.
As buying either the Fezza or the Macca would have meant selling the Strad, I found in the end that I couldn't do it. The Strad may not be as sophisticated as the others, but by heck it's involving. Get the reves up and lot's of throttle and the gearchange is savage.
And now I hear that the new Granturismo will be the same as the old Granturismo, but possibly with the Fezza DCT gearbox and the Ghibli infotainment system. Maybe not a bad thing, because it's still a stunning looking car.
