LOL $4800 bucks a year in maintenance to drive 4K miles. Plus the depreciation on top. I'd rather own a BMW out of warranty and chance it.

For DD I would go German, domestic, or Japanese. Get an M, AMG, F, or V version if fun is what she wants.
heard the same thing from 2 owners.

The turbo models are not a consideration. I like the previous Qporte better than the current one. A Ghibli with 4 doors is just not right. Both new models do come with attractive leasing options FWIW. Maybe they're little better now than after the initial release?

It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but what about the Guilia?

That's too close to the our XE and XE is a better driver... If we went 4 doors would be a late model Qporte 5 with 4.7.

not to generalize, but Italian cars have too much soul and not enough brains.

It's different if it's a F car or Lambo, at least you can still admire it in the garage and the times you take it out are truly special but a turd old Gransport?

lambos are reliable these days b/c they are made by Audi. Get a newish one and you should be fine.
Ferrari is still under Italian ownership/leadership. They are still crap from the reliability stand point. I'm just stupid for wanting one. But yeah, they are beautiful just sitting there.
