Thanks:

Though I certainly have to go and drive an example to see if I even like it, I wanted some comments on whether the brand had low reliability and such. The example I have found locally supposedly has the F1 paddle manual transmission, so it should achieve its 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds time, which will beat my S 2000. The Maserati has a rag top, so it would replace the S 2000 and not the SLK. I have no idea yet of how the Maserati rides, but though I like a softer ride than some cars, the S 2000 does not offend me. As an old guy, I have advised my wife to shoot me if I should ever talk about buying a Buick!

In my "stable " of cars, I like to have a sedan (C 320), a GT (SLK 280) a "guts for leather sports car (now my modded S 2000), and a pickup truck (Ford). So another of my questions is whether the Maserati Spyder would be an improvement over the S 2000 in the "guts for leather" category, as well as being reasonably reliable.

Thanks for the response above, and for any other this post may receive.
