Buy a 93 and you will be very pleased.

16,761 ('87 to '92) Allante owners disagree with 4,670 ('93) owners.
SPECIALLY for the reasons the Rickko stated or should i say avoided.

the day WILL COME, as the numbers change with attrition,
when all these silly arguments become unimportant.

I dont believe for a second, that on the end, the '93 will reign as the one to own.
not for a second. The early NorthStar continues to fight a problem of
reputation and that is not going away any time soon. just like the early
4100
which 25 years later, people shy away from it - but none of those early
4100's ever made it into any Allante.
So, the Allante was exempt.

the future IS ALL ABOUT REPUTATION, and NUMBERS - meaning
quantity and condition of car.

funny thing is, that the more people go with the N* misconception, the part'g and
scrap'g of the early Allantes by the hundreds, accelerates - on the long run, THAT is
good for the early surviving units. again, the future will be about QUANTITY ..
nothing less, nothing more.

Allante prices have all but plummeted in the past couple of years .. and some
early units are now closing and exceeding some '93 units in price .. wowww ..
we didnt see that coming?

of course, if you definition of "best" is a very narrow definition of the
0 to 60 in 6.3 seconds, well go with the '93.

however, if we are talking broader definitions, that is still to be decided,
and there are 8 different models competing, some may even say 9 models.
