I heard they worked out some transmissions issues they were having.  I'd like to hear how it drives. 

Congrats!  [beer]

Congrats, dude!!! [clap] [clap]

Pictures do NOT do that car justice.  I've seen a few here in NYC in the past few weeks, and they are sexy cars!

Once again, congrats!  We need pics and a ride report,  of course [thumbsup]

jasaretta, that's a nice car, but I gotta agree with Ash...Aston Martin makes the most beautiful cars in the world, IMO.

I've probably seen two or three maserati's in my whole life and then all of a sudden I saw two within 10 minutes yesterday.

Super nice car.  Congrats!

The car does look great in person, but the sound of that engine...velvet to the ears.  Congrats [wine]

this is true.  there are several quattroportes near my work.  they sound like they're redlining when they're just coming off idle and cruising down the street to a stop.  they sound magnificent!!

Right, but I think there's a price point here. That Maser can be had for quite a bit less than the Aston...

The transmission problems were in the 4 door (Quattroporte). The GT has a new transmission from ZF - it's great. Spent the weekend in a demo car. Great car. makes you feel special LOL.

No track for this one.- to and from the office and the weekend car.

Absolutely - I drove one last week. Great sound and very gorgeous. Shares too many parts with the ford mondeo for my liking.....and wasn't crazy about the handling. However a great car. Sound is unbelievable.

But I'm italian...and after the "must-have" boxes are ticked...i tend to buy what gets my blood going. That's how I bought the S4Rs too :)

Anyway - cant wait to get it and fat-arm my way around this city LOL
