8C for me. Supercars are all about noise and presence, the 8C trumps most things in that department.
all except the Vanquish S.. Plus it's British.

Update:

I bought the 8c!!

Drove both cars back to back today and in the end it wasn't too hard a decision. A stunning, stunning bit of kit in nearly every way.

I'm thrilled to bits cloud9

Which dealer did you get it from and which colour? Well done by the way...

Bit late on this one, but would have to be the 8C for me as well.

One of few modern supercars that are genuinely genuinely special imo.

Please post up pics when you have a chance/collect clap

Am I the only one that finds it funny that this is alongside the 8C an F50, a Marak and all the other great driving machines?

Excellent news, after your post last week, on saturday a nice red 8C went past my flat, followed by a 430 Scuderia, The 8C looking very special and sounding great.

Have fun with the car, your made the right choice, and looks the business in black!

When I was shopping for an 159 with my mate, I saw a car at a dealer under a cover.
Told my mate that if that was an 8C, it would be one of 500 made.
My mate had no knowing of the 8C and I was shocked biggrin

The dealer removed the cover, and it just looked stunning!

It was Chassis No. 37 if I remember correctly.

Classic 500 would look good there, especially in Abarth form.

Not sure about the modern one, its not got the same style...

Im not saying its not a Ferrari edition of the Fiat, but that even with all the Ferrari badges you want on it, It is still a FixItAgainTony and really doesnt belong along side the rest of the Lovely metal on that companies website.

8c for me, i actually saw one on the road!
Its one thing seeing it on the internet or magazine and another seeing it in the flesh. Truly amazing.
