Why the hell would I want that? I'd have to go to Portland to find somebody who can work in it.

If it just weren't for that auto tranny, it'd be mine.

456's are beautiful cars. They had lots of small problems with the 1999 model but if I was looking for a Grand Touring and didn't have two kids to put thru high school and college........
Manual trans though. The pinging sound that the sifter going through the gates on the 456 and 550 is a sweet sound

I'd love a Ferrari Grand Tourer.

That said, I could have a lot of fun in a $35k 328 too!

I believe the 456 Auto is a run away type car. The transmission repair cost is HUGE, to the point that it almost makes it a disposable car.

The 456 6speed is highly desireable.

It's a $55K car. $67K is way too much in today's market

Yep, or a $25k 308 GT4

Or better still, a $30k 400i 5speed. It amazes me that you can still get a v12 Ferrari for less than an Acura
