One more: Bugatti EB 218 or Ferrari 612 Scaglietti?

It's my appreciation for these two brands (Bugatti and Ferrari) that makes me ask you which one you'd prefer to drive? The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti or the Bugatti EB 218? I've chosen these two 'cause they both have 4 seats and also because they tend to be luxury cars rather than sports.

In my opinion, good looks arent everything. And i find it important that a car is quite special. Its why Id never buy a Porsche unless its a GT1 or an old rarity .. despite how good they are to drive.

you know, people say the 612 is ugly, but it is downright beautiful next to the bugatti.

You've got the point here. In my oppinion, the Bugatti has better looks on the outside, but the inside is just... what were they thinking about? It looks like a 1960s mafiot car.
Here's the inside of the EB 218 and of the 612 Scaglietti.

The interior of the Bugatti is less crowded and looks tidier. The badge on the steering wheel is awful though. It is a 1998 car though .. tastes change
