    After debating for some time took the plunge into a 4 seater. Finally took possession of the Lusso and all I can say is "WOW"! Could not have imagined that Ferrari could make a car this user-friendly and all-rounder.

    The first impression I got was how updated everything was - like a car from the current generation with all the touchscreen and high definition graphics.

    Next, the sound although not as loud as my previous F12 but it's there - Love It!

    The drive is so compliant and easy - Love how quiet the cabin is. Personally, I feel that Ferrari has nailed this one quite well to be an all-rounder Ferrari. I got two little kids and it's perfect.

    Now I can see why people with the FF and the Lusso love the practicality of this car - All I can say is WOW - It's Amazing. The best part is I can fly under the radar on the streets without much attention which is a great plus for me living in a small town. Has all the positive aspects of Ferrari without being too flashy!

    My previous red 458 spider was an attention magnet everywhere I went but now it's like people see my Lusso as a station wagon but I don't care - it looks ecstatic and love the presence of it in my opinion.

    Great Car!!! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT

    Other FF and Lusso owners feel free to post your experiences! :))

    congrats - the car will continue to surprise you as you put some miles on it - both in how docile it can be when needed and then how much of a beast the car is!

    Congratulations, it's beautiful! It's kind of nice not to have it read "Ferrari" quite so much. I'll bet a lot of normal people won't even notice it. A buddy in town has a black one, and sometimes even I don't recognize it right away.

    Wonderful post, can't wait for ours. Like I have said many times the FF was my favourite car ever, sounds like the Lusso will live up to it!

    Thanks for all the comments - filled gas the other day at a busy pump and no one walked up to me as in my past experiences with my F12 and 458 Spider where at least a couple of people would come up and ask questions but they always had a positive reaction which I was lucky with. Now with my Lusso people just walked right by and didn't even take note it was a Ferrari. It's that much under the radar. Don't get me wrong guys not complaining a bit actually it's a nice welcome for a change.

    uhn2000 - let us know when you take delivery of yours! You will love it as much as your FF I bet.

    I would love that. Contrary to what I have read on the forum, a Nero Daytona FF with shields and Giallo calipers seem to get attention nearly everywhere. Maybe it's the Giallo calipers...

    Yes, absolutely the Giallo calipers calls for attention. I got mine in silver w/ the carbon center hubs and that is another thing that it passes under radar.

    The car is awesome. People who know nice cars love it. It doesn't draw attention and it's a blast to drive. Long distance trips are the best! Less attention getting than a 308....and I love it.

    Hard to imagine it not drawing attention. Certainly less than a 308, which makes people think you are Magnium P.I.

    All this Lusso love, it's making the wait for mine harder... Should be here soon though. I really do love the direction that Ferrari have taken with this car. My FF is with the dealer to be sold now. Being without any kind of 4 seat Ferrari leaves a bigger hole than expected. Enjoy your GT4 Lussos everyone!

    I am one of the guys that it took quite some time to fall for this car. I was not a big fan initially and it started growing on me over time with the FF and then the Lusso. Then I finally took the plunge and now it's like the best supercar ever at least for most of us. It's something about this car that once you drive it and own it you feel more for it. Not sure what's in it or what's going on. It's just experience and no words can describe it if all you owners know what I mean.

    Mine just went 10R on Friday... woo hoo. They keep asking if I want to hand in my CaliTHS and I keep delaying, really want to owe and experience both at the same time but a little confused about that decision right now.

    Can't compare a Cali to a GTC4L
    For comparison, you should have kept your FF.....

    Agreed but I gotta say this HS package is very very good, I haven't missed the FF as much as I thought I would, but it's not winter and nasty outside just yet - been great convertible weather! Looking forward to the Lusso.

    Congrats!
    Without any doubt it is the best overall performance and comfort combo on the market today, a car in a class by itself with no competition whatsoever.
    My wife ordered her Lusso for Spring delivery.
