You have good taste. Of the newer cars, rarely does anything excite me. That one is nice. As are Maseratis or most Italian designs.

all well out of my league.

You need to see one of these in person, the pictures don't do it justice. Its like a cross between a machete and a shark.

Not a fan of most super cars but the F40 was a real machine and with amazing looks to boot.

They call it the "gran turismo", IMO the only nice looking Maserati in well...recent memory at least.

I think the Veyron looks like bloated whale and the headlights remind me of a Passat. I never liked the looks of the thing, but the engineering is nothing short of amazing.

Oh, no doubt on the driving. I haven't driven a '57 but I have driven a '60 (in addition to many mid-60's thru early 70's) and an '07. The difference is night and day. The '07 is a blast to drive. But boy do I love the looks of the old ones.

How many doors do you count? Right. So, it can't be a Quattroporte.

you fail... quattroporte = 4 doors

Love that Maserati! The R&T review of it had some amazing photos of it. Too bad it's silver.

The Zonda is my favorite, super cars are supposed to be crazy, I want crazy for that kind of money. Plus it has the good old M120 V12 that the Gods at AMG tune for fun!
