Depends, if you want a daily driver i would opt for the SL55. 360's are nice too attract alot of attention but sometimes the bad kind though. If you want a sports car get the ferrari if you want an all around luxury convertable get the SL55, or both!!!!!

1M, F550M, F550B, F40, S600, 365GTC, DBSx2, etc.
If you're going to buy a 760Li, then there is no need for an SL55. It will be way too numbing, and the 360 is a WONDERFUL sports car. You'll have all of the creature comforts you want in the 760, which sort of negates the need for an SL55.

PS: i don't know about europe, but over here 360's don't attract too much attention. most people don't even otice them (as evidenced with a friend last night). Oh, by the way, there is a color called California Blue which is STUNNING. Far and away the best Spyder color i've seen.

Hey,
I'm buying 2 cars! Rather need two,
Want one convertible and a sedan,
and now it seems the wait list is too long for the S600's/55,
I do have deposit placed on 760 but i dunno why is everyone askin me not to get it,
A friend of mine owns 1 740 and a 745Li in UK and he too says no no no no no!

And about Ferrari,
lol, Im married so i dun care abt attention lol, I just want 2 nice cars that i wont have to change till 4 years atleast,
Which means lol i hope they wont have a model replacement in 4 years!

Thanx!

Thanx,
You can read the same road test review in this month's Motor Trend magazine...with comparison of the SL 55 with the 360 spider, Z8 and Aston Martin Vantage with Mario's comments on each.
