I love the look of the 4c.
Every review says they don't handle properly, though.
Sure fire future classic, though.
Non sequitur - I once went to look at a GTV6 (in the early nineties). It was four/five years old and there were actual holes in the foot well from rust, the owner was lamenting the electrics and the driving position would have suited a twisted silver back gorilla.
I'd still love a nicely preserved one though.

There was a delay when I ordered mine but the order has now gone through. I ordered mine through Glyn Hopkin in St.Albans. I have used them for my last two cars and have got a very big discount which I doubt could be beaten by anyone. Put it this way I was considering buying nearly new until I spoke to Glyn Hopkin.

I have just clocked up 83 000 miles in the 500X in two years and has been brilliant
I liked the look of the Stelvio when I first saw saw some press release pictures and drawings. Then a few weeks ago something triggered the need to own an one. After the 48 hour test drive I was smitten.Its probably my 3/4 life crisis, VX was mid life.
Being stuck in slow moving traffic quite a lot the auto box will be a massive bonus.
I am slightly overweight when towing the VX in the 500X and could do with some extra grunt so the extra 90 bhp will be a benefit.
The extra space in the boot also means that for the first time in over twenty odd years of driving to Italy we will not have to fold the seats down to fit our luggage in and can bring back more wine
I know depreciation will be massive but if I was worried about that I would never have bought 95% of the 30 odd cars I have bought since 1979. I spend a couple of hours a day in my car so would rather be sitting in something I like than making do.

I had the diesel GT in red with tan interior. It was a beautiful thing, not so reliable unfortuntaley. I think they no how to make a car that people want to be in. I am considering another one. The Stelvio looks lovely.
