You know they're nice, but just don't really do it for me. I know that's sacrilegious, but I just don't find them to be that great looking. I know, I know.. they're a benchmark, were ahead of their time etc.. but purely from a looks point of view... they're not breathtaking.

The 959's curves show much better in person. Here's one I took a quick snapshot of couple years ago in the paddock of Laguna Seca... Arctic Silver w/ flat black wheels. It is still an icon to me.

LaneS@macarbon.com has a reputation beyond repute

Canepa design in Santa Cruz always has about 5 959s on hand, and I always see them driving around. He is the one that imports them all. If anyone is ever in the area he has a really impressive museum and shop.
