Suggestion Mr. Blue:

With that kind of language i don't believe you're helping the situation at all. You're getting in the middle of something you know nothing about so do yourself a favor and back out gracefully before someone tells you what they really think.

To settle the other thread, Ferraris are better than Bentleys and Astons (or any combination thereof). I would love an F430... but there are things like practicality and climate holding me back. The Porsche is the more rational choice.

IMO....I've seen less AM then I have Ferraris. I see them nearly daily along with Bentleys and that is just in my commute. I rarely see an Aston. And that is the first time I've ever seen the word Porsche and Rational in the same sentence

Ah, that wasn't my point. I'm not talking exclusivity--though I personally see more Astons than Ferraris. Of course, Bentleys are the most popular.

But I mean straight performance. Every car in Ferrari's lineup is the best-driving car in its class, no questions asked. And that's what I want. Their sexy looks (besides the ungainly 612) are just an added bonus. On the other hand, Astons are all about looks... and THEN the performance is added in so that they can jack the price up.

And you want to know a secret? The DB9 is slower than the V8 Vantage... and $60,000 more expensive.

Porsches are like less-expensive Ferraris. The focus is on performance, and the styling comes later, though all of their sports cars are beautiful. I don't care if they don't change much; they don't need to. The only way a 911 could be considered "rational" is in the presence of a Ferrari (or R8, or Lamborghini...).
