I was just driving home and came across a silver FF in traffic. It is absolutely hideous. It is larger than my wife's 3 series wagon. I do not understand. It looks like someone took an M Coupe, made it 50% larger, uglied up the lines and slapped a horsie on the arse.
And it's AWD in all but the top gear, then it kicks down to RWD

I guess even Ferrari has MPG standards...
Want so much it hurts. I'd sell the V and at least one of my children if it would raise the funds for one. Sadly they don't seem to be depreciating to a level I can afford yet. Someday.
I LOVE that ride ! ! !
Better in black or bronze, but still . . .
Yeah sorry that's an awesome car. I'll take that and an F40, the only Ferraris I've every really been interested in.

I got a good look at one a few months ago. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I do like it.
Here' the car that was parked across the street. This is better.
I dig it! I'll take mine in black with bronze wheels.
I still can't believe its not butter...
Ferrari Panamera?
Isn't that the one with the wildly complicated looking front mounted transaxle?
Well, I guess that explains why it kicks out of 4WD. Does that mean it's a 3 speed? Or is there some sort of massive slipping going on in most of the gears?
Not everyone likes shooting brakes. Put me into the thumbs up camp as well.

I wasn't sure if I was down, but Chris Harris has an excellent YouTube video in which he reviews his own FF, which he appears to only barely be able to afford.
I want one now. I have always loved the 456, and bringing it up a few notches in utility is a good thing. It seems like it would be less fear inducing than folks like Doug Demuro found his 360.
I liked the bit on tg where they told stig to stay out of 6th gear. Every time he did, straight into the unplowed portion of the lake.
Nope. Never liked it. Never will. This "shooting brake" thing never resonated with me. The closest I ever got was the 55 Nomad.
Fugly wugly IMO. Looks like a stretched out Mazda3. No love from me. Their F1 team isn't what it used to be either just in case you guys haven't noticed.
Ferrari FF...I love it, most practical ferrari ever made! It and the 288 GTO would be my favorites.

The used kid market is down these days. Might have to at least mortgage another few urchins just to get the down payment on a Ferarri FF.

I think the FF looks ok, but I like the GTI's styling in the pic better. I don't like the design of the rear end of the FF, along with the hatch angle.
I like shooting brakes in general, but the FF doesn't work for me.

While I do like the FF, I'd rather have a 550 Maranello.
Love shooting brakes, love the FF. Its like a ferrari STI.
Love it. I'll take mine in white please.

Can I get mine in that great 360 modena blue they had for a while?
