![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | The logical choice for me is the GT2. It does everything as well as others, with less weight, less price and less engine (and thereby power). The showoff look good choice with very much class is the 599. The BS, I dno, I just can't bring myself to love this grotesque thing. It's just so impractical and overexaggerated, everything about it (looks, engine, power figures, etc.) it just screams look at me, all the time, I demand you look at me (immature attention whore) or more like a 12 year old kid that just learned something new demanding the attention of others to see him do it. The BS is like a bastard child to me, a mistake. The SLR was great and even though costing about twice as much I think Mercedes should have left it's flagship unchallenged at that. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I believe that the SL65 BS is a better steer than the SLR. But in this company even it doesn't have the motorsport pedigree - and therefore the outright driver appeal - of the other two. 599 GTB or GT2? These days I can never decide and so I'm prone to simply flipping a coin. Heads or tails I know that I'd be rather pleased in either. The Ferrari is undeniably gorgeous and the car in the DR article features my chosen colour combination. The white GT2 is just mega in its own right too. Talk about dreaming eh?
