There were little electrical glitches which took the dealership long periods of time to diagnose and correct. Parts are unobtainable. Even the dealership took to cannibalizing unsold cars on the lot to replace parts, as it took forever to get them from Italy. It's not like there's a warehouse of parts sitting around anywhere. If you need some part, you order it from the factory and wait for them to make it before then can even ship it to you. But man, it sounded great. And driving it was like dating a supermodel--even in car-jaded LA, people look and point. |
But it looks soooo sexy! The Angelina Jolie of sports coupes...
