The maserati gets my vote. The husband of the lady I bought my CLK off had just bought a spider and it was bluddy lovely.
Understated, classy and that model your looking at just sounds fantastic.
The comparison to a 911 puzzles me. Sure its a fantastic car (ive driven a few), ultra reliable and looks great...but based on that comparison we'd all be riding gixer thous and not tapping away on the ducati sporting club forum !! A gixer thou makes mincemeat oout of a 999, its cheaper, faster, arguably more reliable an still looks great..but just ask yourself why we ride our dukes !
Im thinking of chopping my CLK in for the new Alfa Brera. I know i'll probably lose on the resale value if I bang a few miles on it (as you would with the maserati versus the porsche), and bits will fall off, but when I first saw it on the website..it just made my heart flutter...in exactly the same way that my dukes did/do.
Its all about soul I guess !
I'm sounding a bit gay now after a few glasses of red so i'll sign off..
Good luck (you lucky b****d!)
