    It will probably be the same. I see the 488 flattening out soon. Lots of car for the money in the low 200s I imagine F8s will do OK for about a year then once they start pouring in it will go the route of the 488. Same as usual.

    I'd like to think I'm pretty honest about my interest for cars these days. Nowadays I really don't care much about anything other than the design since they all offer a level of performance I don't really want/need/value. I have next to no emotional attachment to cars other than "yeah, that's pretty ****ing cool looking." The next car I'm going to buy is probably going to be the Vanquish Concept so long as it actually gets built because 1) I think it's one of the best looking cars ever made, and 2) it's a hybrid. The only thing that could make it better would be if it was a pure EV (and I know people are rolling their eyes right now.) But you know what? I haven't driven one yet, but I think whatever sound that Taycan makes, it sounds really ****ing cool.

    That's not to bad really, I can certainly live with that on top of the rest of the money I lose on cars every year

    Maybe start with a golf cart and see how that goes. Very little depreciation and you can customize them. They also make a cool noise.

    It wouldn't be but of course that is just a guess based on the past. The future is unknown on pricing although some believe they have it all figured out.

    Question.
    Who has or has driven the Pista and F8 and can comment on the feel of the speed and acceleration?


    My F8 is delayed; specked mid 3s. Thinking If there are Pista deals,maybe that instead. I don’t expect huge deals not suggesting close but 60-70k is not so far.

    I do think that the pricing paradigm for
    Pistas will be different moving forward depending on the post pandemic economy recovery.

    1) You should go drive a Pista, I wouldn't count on forum reviews. There are plenty out there to test.
    2) Also, I wouldn't count on anyone here's comments on Pista pricing unless they have bought one for the great deals they claim. Most here talking about pricing aren't even int he market so they have no idea. Perhaps you can pick one up and let us all know how you did.

    Good luck and I say go with the Pista you wont be disappointed.

    I’ve driven both. I own a Pista and test drove an F8. Both are equally quick. I Pista is more raw more visceral louder. F8 is more refined sleek. Both are great you can’t go wrong with either but I’ll take a Pista over an effort any day

    LOL. See. You post something they don't agree with and you get nonsense ******** like this.

    Hey, how many miles you got on your Pista?

    Only 800 as of today. Does this meet your acceptance?

    I dont know about that, maybe for a super high mileage, low spec car. I guess time will tell.

    Yup. I honestly expected you to say like 200. Glad to hear it's getting the track miles it was intended for. Enjoy!

    Unless you hate the design of Pista, and couldn't live without F8, I would probably just get the Pista instead.

    Did he actually call you out as to how many miles you have on a car you own?

    Someone who owns no exotics and whose next planned purchase is a concept car from Aston- a car that doesn’t exist. A car that may not exist.

    And this guy is calling you out? Unreal.

    I am feeling a nicely specced 720S would provide more "bang for the buck" in a similar price range. You might lose more when selling it but "car tech" wise it seems an absolute beast
