I'm thinking of adding a new car to my stable. I already own a CS and was thinking some time ago to add a Scuderia, but prices went a bit too high for my taste and went for an Exige 430 Cup a couple of months ago.

Now I'm thinking of buying a 16M. What is the general consensus over this car ? Is it overpriced, underpriced ? Not sure if it makes sense to just wait a little or prices will reach new heights next year or so ? Would be great to hear of some opinions, despite nobody having a crystal ball I suppose... thanks.

to me, it feels like this type of car should be a hardtop (exceptions being stuff like an F50 or Carrera GT where there is only one version available). I love(d) my Scuderia, especially the transmission.
Have you thought about a 550 Barchetta if you want a convertible - to me that car fulfills the brief better, esp with the manual transmission and it would obviously be very different to your CS (while the 16m is in a similar vain to the CS)

Have you driven one? If you do then I think that you'll make up your mind fairly quickly.
