uh....no. Not feeling this one at all. We've all seen that grill before...and A pillar looks horrid from the profile.

Stacked quads in the rear?

Sorry, that is just ugly to me.

Too bad it isn't being built at the Ferrari plant, word is Ferrari is outsourcing production on the car. Residual value on the car is going to be shit compared to most Ferraris.

God, I hope you're right on the residual value part. That would be the best news I hear all day. None of us can buy a new Ferrari anyway (except for that architect guy with the Daytona and 360 spyder), so shitty resale values on Ferraris are our friends.

But, I think you're wrong about it not being produced in Maranello. From what I've read, a lot of components will be preassembled by Pininfarina, but the car will still be built at the Ferrari factory.

Either way, I LOVE it, though I wouldn't mind if it was a bit longer and had a bit daintier rear end. Wonder what it will cost? Wonder if it will be available with 3 pedals?

Some day, a garage with this, a 997 S, and a C6 Z06 would be just about perfect.

WOW...that thing is beautiful. It makes me re-think the whole "I would never spend that much on a car" bit.

Not too bad, but it seems to be suffering from a bit of a fat ass. Oh and the hood scoop needs to go too.
