Some cars are future vintage stars from their inception

I think that this Ferrari, just introduced to the market, is one of them. Do you have your own bets

Garry,

Alas, most of us are probably older than their Pagodas...

But for cars such as this Ferrari think about your grandchildren... if you buy and store one Ferrari for each of them, can you imagine their joy once they get it in say 20 years from now? ;) ;D

For that kind of money I would invest in something other than any new car regardless of the brand. I would however take the $200,000 and find some really nice 40-50 year old Mercedes and Porches and I think you will get a nice return and have fun driving them.

And, you wouldn't have to wear gold chains while driving the car.

If they really want to get everyone's attention, they could offer this car for $25,000
