Catman said Crossfire and now I can't get that thought out of my head. I agree that it looks kind of nice I'd need hypnosis before I could ever buy one.

The problem is that in the right colour say dark grey metallic and the new 4.0 ltrV8 pushing out near 600 bhp all at less than 100k the Alfieri when it gets here is going to have to be mind blowing in every department or it wont get a look in.

it has the same rake of the rear yes.......that's it for me though......Take the Ghibli though Matt...Has the same front light area as a Mazda 6, more than once I have seen a Mazda 6 in the distance and got excited thinking it was a Ghibli........Designers will struggle not to add details from other cars these days but I don't see the Merc as a blatant rip off of a 911 design.....We all see different things I suppose..........

other cars

I really like the latest 911.......A good evolution but yes to the untrained eye no different...So very subtle differences that work......That the best outright drivers car they used to be though from what I gather.

happened to me...on way down to Matts, a Ghibli overtook me, it was a Ghibli, 10 mins later I could see it in front of me, as I got closer it was a Mazda......

Looking at Phil's pictures - the QP is such a d@mn good-looking car, isn't it? That rear three-quarter view... beautiful, handsome and purposeful all wrapped up in one car. Knocks the spots off the Ghibli in the looks department, I reckons.

Totally agree Adam. Fantastic looking car.
