    a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, drives and performs like a Turbo S, but more civilized for town driving and a little "stealth" as not too many know what it really is..

    BMW iXM60 - great for daily driving. Much preferred to our tesla performance which our kids now drive

    Thanks all for the suggestions. Forgot if I mentioned I'm not an SUV guy and already have a Model X. Interestingly, I test drove the new Model S (not the Plaid) and also the new Model 3 Performance this weekend. The Model 3 P honestly blew me away. It was a lot more fun to drive, plenty of acceleration and small enough and nimble enough to throw around and take quick turns, etc. All for about 50k. Pretty tempting.

    Common dilemma. I wanted something fun and sporty, but needed 4-seats and all wheel drive.

    Went with RS7 Performance

    I’m pretty happy

    Go for it! Ive never been happier with a vehicle. Its better today than it was when we purchased it. They make such noticeable changes with over the air updates and its very comfortable. It really does handle more like a car than an SUV.

    The insurance is really high though. We done have any accidents or tickets on our records and 6 months, shopped around heavily with different carriers is about $2200 every 6 months.

    I have over 20k miles on it

    It’s fun!
    Not a fast car but zippy, known great handling. Easy to drive and easy ingress/egress compared to the Exige. Nice interior with easy interface.

    I'm genuinely surprised at the number of EV owners here! I live in a rural Midwest area, and trucks are almost essential here. (You can't haul many car parts in a sedan!) I bought a Ford Lightning about a month ago and couldn't be happier with it! It's my first EV & there was a bit of anxiety with switching to all-electric, but the wife's car is gas & really this has worked out well so far. I LOVE the power & smoothness, and it's great getting 70mpg(e) in a truck & having a full "tank" every morning.

    While I looked at the Rivian and a Tesla Cybertruck, I was just more comfortable in this (with a 106lb. doberman that rides around with me every day), as well as appreciate the "flies under the radar" styling compared to the other two.

    I wanted to get that EV truck but have to attach a plow for 4 months a year. EV can do it but not advised. Went f250 platform for the rigidity.

    Just an update, ended up picking up an M8 Grand Coupe. So far, really like it but haven't had time to drive it much.

    Exactly .
    It also uses 3/4 of a Ferrari engine block so the lineage is there .
    4 doors for the kids .
    Gently used ones are a bargain . Very reliable and decent mpg for what it is .
    A Goldilocks car: just right.

    Hi. Did you get the 328 after you sold the 4C?
    I’m glad to have your same 328 GTS.
    All the best.

    I purchased the Alfa Romeo Stelvio as a daily driver without even trying it. It’s a diesel, but I’m in true love with it. It has a balance and some suspensions that no other SUV has, I think. Its like driving on some rails. And her design is simple but beautiful, in metallic grey. Just beautiful.
    I hope to keep it for 1 million kms.

    But the Ferrari I hope to never sell is the 328 GTS.

    They both fit very well in the Italian landscapes.
    The defensive brick wall behind the Ferrari in Rimini was built in the early 1400s, before Cristoforo discovered the Americas…

    Bye all,
    Nic

    Daily driving a 24 wrangler 392 final edition right now , have a had a few of these. M5CS was probably my favorite daily driver that I should have never sold.

    Cali T is my daily driver, with occasional switch to a Mercedes GLK with a small diesel that feels sporty at low rpm.
