Delicious...in an ultra expensive, finnicky, ridiculous sort of way.

If I were to shop for a Ferrari, this would likely get the nod.

Much nicer than the California. When I saw one recently, my first reaction was "who put a bunch of silliness on a 'vette?" Then, I realized that someone paid beaucoup money for that tarted up vette. Sad, really.

much like recent Ferraris (except for the 458), i will dislike it, but will warm up to it.

The 458 was the first properly pretty Ferrari in quite a while (since the original 550 and the 360 IMO). This one is looking to shape up nicely as well!

Badge it as an Alfa, price it at $30, make it RWD and I might actually buy it new.

Weird... I've never liked Ferraris up until the 430 and 599, which I've felt are the best looking street cars they've ever made. Apparently I'm an odd duck in that regard, as everyone around me recently that's brought up Ferraris has just complained about how ugly the recent ones are.

It looks like a coupe version of the Panamera. How many people that said this looks hot also think the Panamera is ugly as sin?

It's amazing how much an extra set of doors uglies up a car. See Ford Maverick.

THAT IS THE MOST HIDEOUS THING I'VE EVER SEEN!

Please tell me that's someone's idea of a joke and it's just a photochop!

I'll just leave it that Ferrari has saved me $200k.

Finally, a Ferrari that I can use to haul a bunch of crap back from Home Depot.

I think that's the best Ferrari profile in decades. Of course, I adored the M coupe and the Z4 coupe, too. Dave knows what's up.

possible 21st century Breadvan? not a kammback, but it's still the only Ferrari since the Breadvan where the roofline doesn't drop off much between the B-pillar and the tail lights

Maybe I'm too old to "get it," but that thing Scott posted (and the M coupe, for that matter) just look ugly to me. I'm holding out for one of the Sultan of Brunei's gorgeous custom Pininfarina shooting brakes. I'd rather slip through traffic unnoticed, if I had a choice, but, if people HAVE to look, I'd prefer them to look and be impressed, not look and laugh.

If Alfa can sell cars at Ferrari prices, I say Ferrari sells this at Alfa prices. It's not as if it will dilute the brand any worse than all the non-car crap they sell.

it would be cool if this thing had the same engine as the 458, backed up by the same gearbox the 458 has, but with a torque tube connecting the two. the internals of that gearbox can't be but so big vertically, so any space constraints in the boot could be taken care of with a new casing, and if necessary, rearranging the gears so that the 'box is larger horizontally but shorter vertically.

Can we get the throw up emoticon added? Yuck.

This, on the other hand, is a gorgeous front engine Ferrari.

In reply to dyintorace:

Or is that the joke?
