    you should have got a photo of both of them together.

    both will take money out of your wallet for as long as you have anything to do with them.

    Undoubtedly, it is an impressive package from a practicality standpoint, especially when you see all the tailor-made luggage that can fit in it. Additionally, I do believe it looks better in the flesh. However, I don't think it is a good looking car. I didn't realise how big it is and very few angles hide that. If this was a special order one-off I would probably love it because conceptually it is great, but it is far from one of Ferrari's most elegant tourers (not that it matters anymore). I do prefer the design to the Panamera though.

    Edit: I quite like it from dead front on (though I prefer the more conventional front of the P540 Superfast Aperta) and rear on. I believe the design is most compromised from the three-quarter angles and dead side-on when you can see the length of the wheelbase. I think they have handled the rear end treatment pretty well since they committed to the shooting break style. I should also add that I really like the special Porsche 928 that was made for Ferry in 1984.

    The BMW Z3 Hardtop was ugly..................this thing is even uglier....................

    It will undoubtedly sell to the FQ tossers(Blackjags neighbours).... who have to have the latest and greatest..........if I had my way.....................................Luca DiM.would have been a Soprano a long time ago................and I'm sure Old Man Enzo is turning in his grave!!!!

    Bloody Ugly!!!!!!

    This car divides opinion for sure. I like it. There's nothing quite like it.

    Went to Zag to see it today. Far more impressive in the flesh. Sound was amazing. I sat very comfortably in the back and the seats were very very good all round. I checked the length as it did look long, however, interestingly enough its shorter than an E Class Merc (according to Zag sales guys).

    The more I looked at it the more I liked it. I am the wrong demographic for the car (too young) but if I was in the 55+ age bracket I would consider it. The colour of the one at Zag was seriously amazing.

    No point crapping on these new types of Ferraris, and obviously I'm not in a position to buy one anyway, so I'm just saying....

    I'd prefer a California to a SL merc and i'd prefer the FF to a Panamera...if money was no object and if that's the sort of car I wanted.

    the Panamera must be VERY thankful the fiat Multipa was made, it can always say it's not quite the ugliest car ever built
