Meh... looks like a cross between a Pontiac Solstice and a 1970's Opel GT. Not my cup of tea.

Sam, here's another Masreati forum in case you were looking for one. I haven't spent much time on it, so I don't know about the atmosphere.

Fiat's stable ultra expensive, high performance cars is pretty full with Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Maserati.

This model Alfa and the Ferrari California convertible appear to be comperable in price @ around $200K. The California is under 4 seconds 0-60 and has a top end of 193 mph--more than satisfactory. Alfa styling may be a little better, but the future used car prices of a Ferrari should far exceed that of an Alfa in North America.

Ferrari dealers often require purchasers to enter into a buyback agreement where the selling dealer will repurchase the car at the original purchase price (MSRP) within the first year. The purchaser would essentially be out just the sales taxes and license/ad valorem taxes--A GREAT DEAL. The selling dealer is then free to resell the car at more than the list price--whatever the market will stand. This keeps Ferrari's used car prices high, and the dealers continue to control their customers. The purchasers just have to have the financial resources to pull off the deal.

I read on the internet that Lexus LFA purchasers may be getting somewhat of the same deal--when their cars are available.
