If you could actually list all of your cars it will make the decision easier for us, instead of getting rid of the 599 you could buy something cheaper and classy at the same time, any mid size four door saloon or suv, no need to have a "WOW" car for daily commutes or taking the kids.

I thought I did that in the beginning of the thread! ... here are the cars:

2010 Lambo SV "5/350"
2009 16M
2009 Bentley GT speed
2008 599

The thing is I am not into 4 doors any more after the Maser QPs i had early this year ... I hated it every time I take my family. So I wanted something as exciting as the Lambo or the 16M when I take the family and I always wanted a DBS. I am afraid if I go with an SUV i will end up trading it for something WooW as I did with the QPs.

The WooW factor or in another word the looking of the car is so important to me.

Just get an X6///M in Red it will give you the "wow" factor your looking for. From what I see you've got too many "weekend cars" and you need something similar for an everday car, honestly the DBS is an astonishing car but its not worth the extra 100 usd over the regular DB9, no whats wrong with the Bentley doesnt it easily hold 2+2.

I use all cars regardless its weekends or not, I take the SV to grocery and fill the trunk with lots of stuff the same thing with the 16M ... may be I should take photos

For the Bentley, I loved it alot and it does give me the 2+2 for sure. The reason for trading in the 599, is I tried to sell it but did not get a right value and thought of trading it with something I can use more with the family and we all enjoy the ride as we do in the Bentley but with more sporty/racing feeling.

The X6/M is nice, but I did not like the look ... and they are selling it here for 520K riyal = $140K !!! and resale value is nothing as the DBS

If the Qp wasn't sporty enough for you, then there's no point in getting an SUV.

Bentley Brooklands? At least is has more 'wow' factor than the Conti.

Or something balls-to-the-wall crazy like a Brabus Rocket.
