Ferrari FF

I'm so Meh about this thing. The nose looks like a smiling simpleton (should have used the 458 nose.
As for shooting break I suspect Jalopnik is all about the shooting brake because it sounds cool.

It makes me think of the BMW M Coupe....which I don't like. The rear of the Ferrari is beautiful(they usually are). The front needs a grille change, I think. It would make enough of a difference for me to like it.

I just cant believe what Ferrari have turned into nowadays. I`m confused. Also I dont really like the front end. I mean whats with the 458 headlights and that half retarded, hald serial murderer grill? I guess I`m gonna go with meh.

I place the blame squarely on Porsche for this one. Ugly Porsches may sell, hope this one doesn't.

hmmm... the side view sort of makes me think of a Jag-E or Jensen Interceptor.

I was actually a 612 fan, thought they had something there if they had just nipped and tucked alittle. Instead, this looks almost like a parody of fanboi touring car doodles. Darn shame.

Clarkson made a comment once that 4 seat Ferraris don't hold thier value very well. Wonder if that will be true here.

Probably. Unless they somehow become super rare and desirable years down the road

I guess I’m going to have to be the guy to disagree with the group.. I love it!

It's a unique ride with unique features that might not fit in the traditional perception of what a Ferrari is, but the 458 pretty much covers all of that.

Oh and let’s not forget FF's throwback to Ferrari's history..

yeah i'm definitely not digging the nose either.

i do like the tradition/M coupe-ness of it though

also the m coupe is one of the best lookin BMWs of all time. right up there with the 8 series and M1

each to his own I guess but it wouldn't be sittin in my driveway if i had the means. Just feels like Ferrari is trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist (other than having one of the ugliest halo cars on the planet the 612)
If it wa this or the 612 I'd probably go with this..but man to me that's like the difference between an crap sandwich and crap soup.

I love the side profile and the rear. Front might take some getting used to but it's not bad. I'm sure it looks better from different angles.
