I doubt it... We're talking 400K-450K for the scuderia... Given that CS's are still fairly rare commodity and relatively affordable, that's not going to happen.

Truth is, if I got one of those, I'd be too scared to drive it. It's such a beauty........I think a ride will suffice.

(1) Looks very much like every other Ferrari;
(2) Another car that cannot be driven (the way it was meant to be driven)on US roads; and
(3) Very uncomfortable.

Are you kidding? The current Honda Civic is rubbish! I hate driving it (it's my mom's city car but my dad takes the X3 to work). Plus there are about 4 things wrong with it and it hasn't reached 9000 miles yet. But I'm too lazy to take it to the Honda dealer.

AzN. first of all, did you really take it seriously? second, Honda Civic is rubbish? you are one lucky college who could afford (or your parents) a BMW X3, most of the kids who go to college can only afford Honda Civic and thats just like their dream car. and one more thing, i have a honda civic 2007 as a commuter car, it drives great. there is nothign wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with owning a civic either.

No hard feelings or anything. The X3 will not be my college car. In fact, I will NOT have a car my first year since UVa does not allow freshmen to drive cars to school. Secondly, I will not be driving the X3 my sophomore year. My parents have offered up to ~$20k for a car next year, which will likely be a used E46. The X3 is a great vehicle, but it's too big for my tastes. Plus I'd like to have a manual transmission for once.

The Civic drives well, but the controls just don't qualify it as a driver's car. The electronic throttle doesn't have proper control, the audio controls are too far away, the steering wheel audio controls aren't great. Brake feel is good, but distances are long. The steering is too light, and it has torque-steer tendencies. I have yet to get the advertized 30mpg......27mpg is the best it can do. The headrests are the single worst thing about the car.........its wierd how I didn't notice it on my parents' 15 minute test drive, but it doesn't encourage a proper sitting position.
