    Researching my next auto venture was exhausting with many cars not meeting my expectations, color combos, miles, maintenance, or geographic locations. So I figured in the mean time I drive a QP to keep the Italian spirit going. First impressions: fun to drive, Cool F1 tranny though I hear bad things about it, I actually enjoy the sound as i (+) or (-) through the gears. I still prefer 3 pedals, however this will do for now. There are plenty of horror stories out there but then again plenty for the 355 as well. I can only hope it brings me joy and drives strong & problem free like my 355.

    thanks, Its polar opposite from the 355 but I'm sure I'll adapt to this monster in no time.

    Looks beautiful! I would pair that with a 355 any day. Now don't wait too long to get the 355 back.

    Dave!

    LOVE your car as well. Need pics with it next to your 355 for a size comparison. Did you go black to match?

    The side-by-side photo accentuates the length and height of your two cars. I'm partial to the 355, of course.

    2 very different cars with very different purposes. The MGT is my nice weather DD and the 355 is the fun car ;)

    The photo does not accurately represent the size difference. The MGT is a pretty big and long car. It also weights just under 5K, 2K more than the 355.

    I thought about and tried the new Ghibli for a daily driver. I was very impressed, but chickened out. (What can go wrong with a first year car from Fiat?)
