    both buyers retreated to thinking mode.
    i think they think that i am expensive, but i told them to hunt around and see if they could find my combo of color (or other pleasing combo), condition, mileage, wheels, and luggage for less. if so, then i might match it.

    but, i already did that research, and i know that given the criteria, i am the best deal in switzerland and italy - and thats saying something !

    hey Ross. i thought I would chime in with my vote [before I learned of the 4 seat requirement.........]

    the 612 is very practical, comfortable, fast and reliable. looks are okay but heck its a big V12 Ferrari so that is a huge plus.
    599....if you aren't thrilled about it then don't do it. depreciation has a bit to go yet
    458....not much to be added to the best modern Ferrari as a daily. if you can make a great deal then go for it
    scud...i think as a DD it would wear thin
    CS......no point since you have one
    FGT....this is a great car to drive and is absolutely stunning. it's the only non FCar that I plan to add to my modest collection
    Merci...my impression is that it is a big car and great to drive as long as practicality is not an issue. i don't think of it as a dd
    vanquish....really?
    bentley GT........you are too young for this
    alfa 8C.......this would be my choice. great looks, absolutely a blast to drive, limited build which should appreciate over time. and you will be the only one on the block to have one. small Maser chassis, Ferrari V-8 engine and great styling. And that sound!! a winner
    365 GT.........as a vintage guy I always liked the QM. I had one for a few years a couple of decades ago. But as a dd......I think not. I have done much to make my GTC a dd. but unless you are willing to put up with some compromises I would not recommend it as a regular.


    now that I know you have a 4 seat requirement I think your 456 is hard to beat.

    If it were me, I'd go for the Alfa 8C. That to me is the perfect compromise for a daily driver/sports car.

    I like it more than every other car in the list, for that particular function... (or perhaps just overall too..)

    Given you're asking for 4 seats: I don't think its in your list but I like the Maserati Granturismo too. And the Quattropuorte, although that's supposed to be getting a new look soon.. I also like the idea of the Aston Rapide..
