Don't have to look to long to see the striking similarity.

It seems like I'm in the minority, but I really like it. I never much cared for the 456 or 612 so for me this is a big improvement.

all-wheel.... you got an ugly C4S competitor.....

if it were at least light weight i could see a rally application..... but nope.

I am not sure if this is the 1st 4 wheel-drive Ferrari but I quite like it and think they don't disgrace themselves in their attemps to broaden their range. I wish porsche kept to "sporty" models....

If this thing sells, then F-marketing will make the next "logical" decision....
a Ferrari SUV

BTW what's the reliability of F cars these days? Are these things bullet proof or given that no one actually drives them more than 1k miles a year is it still an
enigma?

based on the size of the thing, I am guessing that is has a more uasble back seat than a C4S... 4 adults at least...

I'm a fan of the shoe myself, but this thing has nothing on the 458.

Yes, thank you. Now there is an even uglier and more expensive vehicle than the aesthetic abomination Panamera.

As both Top Gear USA and UK have acknowledged, the cars best vantage point is from the inside. Hey... "at least she has a good personality."

It's not a Panamera competitor - it has a deficit of 2 doors. But, this is the first time I see a 'form follows function' product from Maranello; I like it.

i think it looks great although i am a M coupe geek. If it had 4 seats and a useable hatch i think it would be very much a competitor to the pan despite the lack of rear doors.
