Read the text again about this new toy. It talks about style and looks, a few words about performance and nothing about reliability.

ZM, with your artistic interest in music, I am not too surprised. Me, if I wanted one, I would wait a few years to see if they actually work, or just look nice. For me, #1 is reliability and everything else is way down the list.

I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

They have been around for a few years. I haven't heard of any problems. Mind you, it's Italian, so we can't expect too much.

They have come down $3000. this year.

"Returning to the performance, it becomes obvious that the sophisticated components are not mere technical details included for the sake of style but enhances performance and provides guaranteed reactivity.

WTF?

Leaving the fact that they are not "returning to the performance," as it's the first time it is mentioned, but what the f**k does "provides guaranteed reactivity" mean???
