The FF is so fugly, Enzo must be rolling in his grave. I agree with the price of the 991 TTS, it's ridiculous. If I'm going to do a Porsche it will be the 991 TT. I refuse to spend 200k+ on a 911.

Purely a "to each his own" topic,....but I for one love the look of the FF, very different and cool. My son and I saw one the other day sitting way out in a mall parking lot, he knew exactly what it was and thought it was "bad-azz". A little different category compared to a TT/TTs but would still be a darn nice car to own.

I would not throw it out of my garage but on the other hand, I would never buy one. So many better choices for the money.

Here is my vote. The FF is the ugliest Ferrari ever made. Sorry.

The 400 series easily wins this award.

Ok. Thats true. FF is the ugliest modern day Ferrari. BTW, the 400 is not only ugly but it's a piece of crap. At least the FF is well made.

Wow, I know for me the decision to spend 200k and over for a 911tts outweighs my desire to have an FF in my garage. Damn that is that some kind of joke or what. Now the 458, that's another story. If I could find one of them for 215 (what I'm spending on the tts) I would seriously consider going the F route.

You could probably find one but it would be in a off color, miles or stories. I own a 458 and the running costs are higher than a 911.

If you have the 997TT to feed your Torque needs, buy the 991 GT3 and enjoy the best of both worlds

Default FF Ferrari

It would be the worst purchase of your life. The dealers cannot give them away! At least with the GT3 or the Turbo, you can do ok with resale value. FF will kill you on resale. I happen to be close to Ferrari dealers and factory people, and the FF is a dud. The Mclaren is a good choice too. For $200k plus, you should not have to get used to the look of the car, even though it drives and handles fantastic. You can't get Turbo's and GT3's, but FF's are every at every Dealer. It's your Dime! Good luck...

Zedosix,
Used 458's (Coupe's) are getting close to 215 K - or will be when the 991 TTS comes into easy availability..
I just cannot justify 200K on TTS - that is hard to digest..
Happy New Year to Ya'll... Peace On Earth.

Not in Canada, they still sell between 260 and 280 for low mileage 2010's.

Maybe the FF is not the best looking Ferrari but for my opinion it looks better than the ugly Panamera, which is the ugliest Porsche ever build!
