Funny, I've been saving for a 550/575 manual for years, and just recently wrote them off as the premium for the few manual cars has become ridiculous. The Singer is exactly where the funds are going now. The 430 was a bit blunt and crude compared to the 355, but maintenance wise, and performance wise, they were a big step forward. That Stratos is a hugely appealing car to me though, as I loved the original and think they did the homage properly. I wish someone would do the Singer thing and take 348's and Mondials and make them into a modernized version.The new Stratos is based on the 430: https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-ca...he-modern-lancia-stratos-heads-to-production/
The 355 perfectly blended classic Ferrari with a modern twist. The 550 and 458 are two others. Mechanically, I'm not familiar with them too much to know their nuances. But if I had enough, I'd prolly just get a Singer - I'm a Porsche fanboy!
