I do have to agree the Panny has to like you OR you just hate it, there is no in between for this one.

Well - after an hour in the Rapide today I have concluded that adventure.
The price was insanely discounted - essentially equal to my PTT lease payments but that is about all the good news I have.
The car was beautiful but after using it like my daily driver it is just not that great a car - it is really slow, but sounds amazing. The ergonomics of everything in the cabin is just wrong or bad. The seats are really hard to get in and out of too.
Besides the great looks and sound and the exclusivity there really was no way I could convince myself to get it no matter how bad I wanted it to work for me.
So it looks like a 2014 PTT or a Maserati QP for me. The effortless power of the PTT is something that you get used to and forget about until you drive another car - That is going to be hard to replace.

Just what in the heck do you all do for a living anyway?
I mean, I do really really well in my field...and I feel blessed to be at a point in my life and career where I can afford such an awesome car.
Why not keep it awhile? Doesn't it completely blow your mind every single day?
I'm keeping mine the standard ten years...

Well, yeah, when post that pic...
There is nothing wrong with the car until after the B pillar.
dhh, I'm VERY happy for you that you've researched the car yourself, and came to an obvious conclusion. Enjoy!
