A screen is an option in the preliator. Also if your comparing the 458 with c8 aileron I believe it has everything the 458 has accept a radio. Which you can use your phone for if you really like listening to music while driving. I also have never understand the brand prestige issue unless your not really a car guy, I find that people who know about cars that dont have brand prestige are usually true enthusiasts and really enjoy and appreciate the car you own as they are well versed on the particular brand. I will admit the performance is a bit lower than the 458, 10 mph slower and 1 second slower to 0-60
I do love Spykers, but it really is hard to justify the price of the Preliator, which is a whopping $354,000. I thought the Aileron had a radio? If it doesn't, well that's a bit of an issue for a /luxury/ supercar. It's okay in a hardcore track day special, but not a luxurious car.
The price isn't really the main problem. They probably won't make a single production Preliator.

I'll admit that living in Southern California does have its exotic spotting pitfalls and that is that Ferraris and Lamborghinis are quite ubiquitous and it isn't unusual to see one or both in multiples through the course of the day. So much so that my better half and I coined the phrase "Oh look... it's another Ferrari" as a result.
As for the Spyker conversation... I had the chance to sit down for half an hour with Victor Muller, the current CEO of Spyker Motors. What I found remarkable and quite interesting is that each of the Spyker models (the C8 Preliator for example) are quite literally the realizations of his own wild, limitless imagination. It isn't a team of bean counters throwing together a series of ideas but instead his own napkin sketches come to life. Though we may never see a Preliator (Spyker and their PR team says otherwise....) we can rest assured that each Spyker concept is something unique and creative rather than boring and mundane.

They've apparently sold them all lol. At least that's what I remember people reporting when it was unveiled.

I really want to believe them this time, but they've gone bankrupt multiple times during the past few years. Until there's more than the one Preliator, I'm not believing them.

Fair point. As much as I'd love to see more of them, they do have a habit of not following through on things. (Come on, I want a B6 already!)

yeah they went under because of bad business decisions if they hadn't have bought saab they probably would have made it.

Maserati Ghibli Q4s in the US.
Bentley Continental (except special editions like the Supersports), Maserati Ghibli, Quattroportes, and some RRs in Beverly Hills area. Also some older Porsche 911s.

I'll typically take pictures of just about everything, but only keep really good shots of some of the more common exotics. They serve as good practice opportunities.

I've noticed the M4 is very common. I won't really bother with getting pictures unless the color is interesting or the location is. I see one almost every day I walk up to the mall and only one has stood out, a yas marina blue convertible.
