Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fun Semi Daily Driver?

[Adam Green (FlatCrank]

I think that advertisement is a bait-n-switch (a common practice in these markets and something frequently noted in corvetteforum C7 discussion) and it reflects the loss of interest in the "old" Corvette at the same time as the "new" Corvette has really screwed the sales pooch because of atrocious build quality production problems, so GM is in a bit of a void of their own making till they reinvent their Corvette factory (mostly by sacking incompetent union pay-check recipients, in my humble.)  I ordered the C7, but found it impossible to go ahead with the car till they solve all kinds of production issues (neglecting to add fluids to the transaxle, hand touch-ups to paint blemishes, runs in the paint, grossly excessive "orange peel" from incorrect curing processing, misalignment of body panels, incorrect operation the hatch release, malfunctioning electronics and dash instrumentation, mediocre leather and stitching, misaligned and ill-fitting cabin trim from design, thumb sized cabin trim gaps around the doors, just to mention the more common examples that lead to me pulling the plug and waiting, and hoping that GM gets their A into G for the Z06 version at the end of 2014.)

Ditto - IMO the original headlights (as in Lotus) look better but I know they feel it necessary to update things to attract new buyers...  still a great daily driver.

I know your joking but the miata is one of the best sports cars still out there, perfect for my wife and then I get to drive it. The new one is more manly, I cant image a better handling car except for the lotus

for twice the money. This car even has a decent trunk, unfortunately no spare!  The top has only 3 pieces and is a marvel of japanese efficiency! It will turn on a dime....

LD,

It has everything but great engine sound but with the extra 10K you could throw a exhaust on it!

If any of you have never driven one of these you are missing out faster than the 308 and as much fun,

folding top sweet GB...  My wifes second one the first one got crunched.... no four seats though!
