This is my snobby side . . .

Its a bit like the boxter/911 debate - you only get one cause you cant afford the other (which you would really really like) and EVERYONE knows what a boxter owner would really like to be driving.

Why get a Ferrari engined car - when what you REALLY want is a . . . .

???

i will grab an AutoCar, thanks.
A £3k service is for pretty major belt service i imagine at a main dealer? so £1 a mile for maintence isn't a million miles off!!!

Yes i would prefer a 360 (who wouldnt) but that car is not an A to B car everyday like a 911 and various others! I'm also not looking at spending 360 money (i would have to part with the 999r )
The Ferrari thing does have a bit of hairy chest/footballer image thing which isn't complimentary, whereas the maser is a bit more understated and imho cool?
Quite happy to park that in a supermarket carpark etc only those in the know would know whats under the bonnet

They don't do it for me - a friend had one - only for a short while though - he had a few niggly problems with it - and got rid.

Stick with the porker.

thanks Jon, not sure i'm any of those but thanks anyway!

its a big thing to wave goodbye to my porker!
I have been looking at an older model 996 (mk1 GT3) to replace my current 16 month old 996C2.
But the thought of having a tubi V8 maserati is very tempting!

picked up AutoCar! the new XK looks great, but i'm still dreaming in green, white and red!?! aargh!
