    (sorry if this has been asked, searched and couldn't find anything)

    If you could only have ONE car to live with for the next 5 years.....what would it be?

    One car to satisfy your love of cars, design language, excitement, practicality, reliability, drag you to work, weekend away with the spouse and kids, etc...

    Me: Maserati Quattroporte-S
    (Though I am interested to see if the upcoming Porsche Panamera, BMW CS, Jaguar XJ replacement could topple this Italian uber-sedan.)

    I don't care how rough it would be to use everyday I would take the CGT. No wait....an LP640.....no...maybe an F50..or a Zonda F...Oh I can't choose just one!

    Considering I'm 14 and I don't have a wife and kid,


    Lamborghini Diablo 6.0VT

    or

    348 TS

    I'd probably go Diablo though, its so damn sexy.

    Bentley Conti GT Speed.

    Nothing else comes close IMHO for the parameters you define considering I have 2 kids and need a back seat.

    Aston Martin V8 Vantage - great looking, daily-driver capable, amply fast for anything short of track time. (I'm single, so a two-seater works fine.)

    Thanks.
    I meant One car only, either Ferrari or most likely none Ferrari.
    I doubt very much someone would really use a Mclaren F1 or Enzo as their sole daily driver.

    What I am really wondering is there really is a car out there that does "it all" for lovers of fine automobiles, and Ferrari/Italian car afficianados in particular.

    M5 is awesome, but doesn't have that raw Italian flair.
    AMGs are pretty amazing in many respects.
    Porsche may have a contender in the Panamera.
    Maser Q-porte seems to hit most of the buttons in one package.
    Caddy V-series is up and coming perhaps.
    Jaguar wants to be taken seriously again and their replacement flagship sedan with a supercharger may make a splash.
    Audi is maybe there as well with S4 and S8.
    BMW CS concept is stunning, and if it has a V12 may be the winner.....
    I am also partial to the idea of using a 612 Scag as a daily driver with rear seats if friends want to go to a restaurant together or kids, weekend away....
