Please can you tell me what the signs are for problems so I can keep a
eye out for them. Over what period were these faults, mine has been ok
so far, 2500 miles 5 months.

This is all too funny, but in the end both are great cars, with their own bright spots as well as draw backs. I say we end it at that.

Ferrari California = beefed up Toyota Celica look alike with Lexus IS-F exhaust tail pipes.

SL65 is frightening just by seeing the "V12 Bi Turbo" Badges.

When you buy a 65, money for fuel is not an issue.
