I'd rather have an Aston, the 8C looks the part but motoring press were not impressed as its handling was not to expectations in coupe form and when the roof is chopped the scuttle shake will not help it along in the corners, as a grand tourer its limited by the lack of luggage space. As a car its flawed, as a bit of art it is expceptional, a case of form over function, style over substance and everything we expect from something Italian.
