You're SO right

You should give the Ferrari 458 Italia a try then. I think you will look at Ferrari a bit different after that.

So far I don't like that car,I really cannot get my hear around those Citroen like headlights. I have to wait to see in person,but the 430 is still my favorite Ferrari along with the old crappy 348 and the 412.

I thought we were talking about the driving experience here.

Then again, give me a 2010 911 Carrera 4s in cream white and I'll sh#t up...

Joe

Jepp, håller med till fullo! (and in Tokyo you can see some sweet rides, that's for sure. They are also crazy about customizing everything, so wouldn't be surprised if this one actually is custom painted)

They usually the 911 Carrera 4S, and in cream white at the Porsche center here in Shanghai. (the price is even crazier - in fact A LOT crazier - out here for one of these beauties, but that doesn't mean one can take a peak at it from time to time... )

Cheers,
Joe

Jag antar att man kan se en hel del fina bilar i Shanghai också, eller? Både Shanghai och Tokyo är platser jag vill besöka, mycket pga av dessa bilar

Här finns det pengar så det räcker (för vissa), så ja det finns en otroligt massa fina bilar här!

Compared to many other countries in the world, yes. The reason being that in China you have a very high tax on luxury items, and since these cars are also imported, they get even more expensive. Many cars are about double in price here compared to lets say Sweden (and you know as well as I do, that prices in Sweden aren't that good really. )


Cheers,
Joe

That's why you should buy them in the US (from me ) and have them shipped over there.

I don't think anyone ever bought a Ferrari for reliability. That's why you need a couple of extra spares as backup

I wish! Import tax, import tax, import tax... (madness really ) + this is really the wrong place to drive around a car.

Pehaps I can pick you up on that though, next time it's time to move

Joe

I asked how many white Enzos there are out there, an apparently, only ONE got out of the factory. Pretty rare, this car
