I should have said "if you can't APPRECIATE the F430..." for what it is above and beyond your personal vision of what a car should look like or what roads YOU would use it on; If you can't see that - then I defer to Speeder.

And Paul, the company has changed - to keep up with the times only.
It's "soul" has not.
You are stuck in the past along with those who thought Porsche sold out when they made the 911.

You could be right John...that's why I'm keeping this one on my list of "maybe" cars. I refuse to pay the 20-30K above sticker that dealers are demanding tho.
Maybe next year, once the hype slows...others on the short list? Infinity G-37,
4 door jeep, Nissan's new skyline...or, logic says nothing. Basic transport needs are met, after all. Porsche is off the list. Cindy is still mad at me for selling the old '72...she'd shoot me if I bought another.

Here's an F-car I consider downright gorgeous.
