Ferrari Dino! Same price as M6?

Check it out, don't know if these guys are full of it or misinformed but they say they are producing a ferrari with 400 hp for the same price as an m6.

Anyone else thinking this might be the next car? Or is it just like buying a boxster.

I think it is pretty awesome. As far as the boxster comment goes, it is one of the best handling cars in the world, even beating out the 911 S in a recent comparo, so one could only hope that it is as good.

The boxter is an awesome handling car, but it's sloooooow.

If they added 200hp to it, I'd be the first in line.

It has gotten many reviews where they said it was an amazing car. I think Fifth Gear reviewer said it was his favorite sorts car, and that the new one is even better. If it had more power it would be faster around the track then the 911, since it has a better designed chassis, being mid-engined instead of rear. Of course, they couldnt do that, becasue then they could not sell as many 911s.

Also, at 60gs it is hardly a poor mans car.

that dino sounds tempting!! i think i saw some artist renderings of this car in a rag.....as for the boxster it is a great car bottom line...i had a 99 with only 200hp it did its job in the straight line but when you take corners thats where it shines...its not meant to be a racer its meant to give enjoyment while cruising on a sunday morning with the top down listening to its beautiful engine note...
at least thats how i enjoyed it...now a carrera 4 cab has taken its place....no complaints either
