    They're a great car but they're not a 911 - or more accurately, not an all rounder like a 911, which is that rarity in offering all things to all people.

    The GranTurismo look and sound fantastic. The rest of package is merely good.

    In essence, style but with some substance rather than no substance.

    As the years past it by, it wasn't developed as much as it should've been and became less competitive in the market.

    The engines are more reliable than a Merc AMG or M engine - sure the electronics aren't always on song but I do know a few that own/owned them and have found them delightful and generally very reliable. Certainly no worse than any other luxury brand and probably better.

    As always, avoid the MC shift versions (i.e single clutch) and go for the full auto ZF.

    I think they offer fantastic style per buck value. Chick magnet par excellence - much like a Bentley Conti GT. Perfect car for a rake with style. Hmmm. Is that why Greg bought a Conti GT? ;)

    As knocker suggested, I'd go for the Quattroporte personally. Why take just one woman home when you take 3 with you. Clearly Knocker by nature as well as by name. :cool:

    I guess driving a Hawk would be a bit of a Lark (I've got NFI, but going with Simon on this one).
