sheesh. even I Know why people live in apts when they live in NY (same in chicago). kinda hard to get a house in in the city so apts are they way to go.

i agree with Yllus. odds are the guy belongs to a club that gets access to cars like that. My dad was in one for classic sports cars. they are not cheap but its neat to drive a expensive car once a month for a week (or weekend)

Must not have been a lot of interest in anyone actually owning one, if there are only 2 out of 550 in the USA and ones a loner and the others gathering dust in a dealership. I agree with Baked on the Continental GT statement, for about the same scratch.

The pukey color is also SICK, as in sick in a bad way. That nasty pasty whiteish tan color would be at the bottom of my desired color list, followed only by Mary Kay pink. What a nasty vomit color for such an elegant car. I sure hope they don't paint 550 of them like this, ugh. First thing I would do with an ugly paint job like that is have a slick custom paint job applied to it. That looks like a color some tasteless British bureaucrat would drive, unless that was the idea.

With 550 made, i don't think it will be too difficult to sell one. The color actually wasn't at all bad in person - definitely didn't stand out to me at all. It's more of a conservative look that the whole car is going for anyway.

He works for C&D, I didn't take any pics - he brings nice stuff over all the time... last time we went cruising in Audi R8 rtronic

:drool;

Muniez pls.

Tell me about it. They had Bentleys at the NYC auto show. That's probably the closest I'll get to one, and I couldn't even peek in the window, because they were roped off.

Meh, like "high end" watches, it's pretty much paying a ton of money for a status symbol.

I guess that matters to some people.
