Video or it didn't happen.

Anyway, it's gorgeous to look at and you have to love a V10 NA motor.

Other than that, if I had to sell a car in my collection and my wife wasn't in love with it...it would be the first car I sold.

To me, it's much more about the look than the driving experience. Don't get me wrong, it handles very well it just doesn't drive to me like a real driver's car. I'm glad my wife loves it. I'd gladly take the 911 Speedster all day long over it.
I think your wife has has good taste. You on the other hand

I would get the new Maserati MC20.

Going to be small, light, fast, and it will be another 12 months until you see more on the road.

If the budget allows, I would go for a Performante, your resale value will be higher compared to other versions and you are buying one of the best Lambos ever produced.
Where are you finding 26 for sale? On cargurus I'm only finding 13 coupes and 7 spiders.

The MC20 must not be selling well, had dealer reach out to me asking me to buy one...that's not a good sign for a cool new car...

Do you miss the rear wheel steering in the performante that you get in the EVO?

Its a "me too" car. Nothing new or special. There was never a demand for that car in this saturated market and everything it does can be found elsewhere, but better.

Maserati is junk just like Alfa and neither produce or sell that many cars in the US. Hence why their reliability sucks. My buddies Maserati Quattroporte had the leather peel away from all corners (dash, door panels etc..,) in the interior because of the heat. He spent months taking it to the dealer in Vegas to get it fixed and it was never right.

I appreciate all of the input everyone. Alas, I will be scratching my Fiat itch first and acquiring @Evo X car. Will have to scratch the Lambo itch later. Hopefully this thread is still useful to prospective owners!

My Touring is just raw enough, and I am happy NOT to be drawing all that attention. That's one of the great things about P-cars in my opinion. Glad my addiction is limited to Porsche, lol.
