I like the RCF alot. Even though it didnt get great reviews on the track, you gota remember its just a GT car.
With a nice exhaust, the V8 sounds amazing. You got Toyota reliability and all the creature comforts you need in a modern day luxury car

Forgot who I was talking to. Check out an E63 AMG. Effortless power, top-notch luxury. You can definitely find a W212 facelift for $50k but a W213 will bust your budget.

With all due respect, I don't think he's going to be cross-shopping an Aston, Jag, M6, Porsche, and '06 Mazdaspeed 6.

I wanted a GT car as the Vantage was too hardcore sports car for what I need right now. For me, the perfect one is the Aston Martin Rapide. Sits 4, has plenty of storage, looks and sounds the balls, has the best steering out of the competitors, and is really succeeds where the BMW, Porsche, and MB fail at making a 4 door "coupe". The chassis is super rigid and you forget you're in a 4 door car in like 30 seconds. The amenities and refinement are hard to beat and the V12 is just awesome.

Test drive a Giulia QV. There are dealerships out there selling them under MSRP. Easily the most engaging car out of the list you made and pretty comfortable.

That's one heck of a car and an amazing value. Really nice touches throughout the car make it a great value at MSRP. I would've bought one, but QV is too similar in looks and utility to the our XE (and it was not on the market when we leased the XE). Everything on the QV is top notch and think you could buy one new under MSRP is amazing. It's way more "Ferrari" than any Maserati's DNA purports to be.
