    As others have said ...stupid f'n name!

    Aesthetically the car looks "good" but I'm not as blown away as I thought I would be.

    I'll probably get a lot of flack for this and I, too, am surprised I am saying this...I don't think I like it. Disappointed to say the least. Hopefully my opinion will change over time and when I see one in person.

    I agree but so is P1 and Huayra. I have no idea what any of these guys were thinking.

    Quite a while ago I posted:

    I found the nose a little funky. (Enzo protruding nose tip a tad harelip)

    The side good.

    I also discussed with ingegnere that the F70 would have the unique P 4/5 (Other Ferrari P cars don't have that cue) Triangular form at the C pillar and that he was correct that the F70 inner fender shapes were pontooned LMP style as he noticed the new Lambo's were.

    The rear P 4/5.

    I do agree with Hot Shoe that parts are a bit too "doughy" and am not quite sure where a US licence plate would fit nicely or the rear.

    I also mentioned a while ago that F70 would have a movable rear spoiler not a wing.

    In these contentious and polarized times in Italy I'm glad to see Italians agreeing on something.

    "La Nuova La Ferrari a Tantissimo della P 4/5.. Si Vede lo stretto Imparentamento la Linea è L'andamento Sinuoso ... Grande James Glickenhaus..."

    "Dovrebbero chiamarla "LaGlickenhaus"

    Andera and Sergio set out to nudge Ferrari back from the Enzo towards Classic Beauty and told me that's what they hoped to accomplish with P 4/5. Even though their family name is conspicuously missing from the F70 I do think that this morning they are smiling.

    In closing IMO The name "La Ferrari" est vraiment vomir.

    Yes. It is not elegant, not easy to look at and the styling is lacking from my vantage point

    My first initial response when i looked at the pictures was that it could be a 458 replacement in terms of looks, not the next super car, not to start a war as i am a Ferrari guy through and through but when i looked at the new lambo and the p1 my reaction was wow, didn't have the same reaction with this car, its like they played it safe. hope i change my mind when i see it and one day drive it.

    I love it. And "taking F1 to the road"wise. Ferrari has done that best imo. Paying close attention to their F1 car and the LaFerrari (do NOT like the name tho), i can see what i gather to be the aerodynamic and styling "transitions".
    My vote = Stud!

    Everyone in Southern California will think it is an "L.A. Ferrari" no doubt, meaning Los Angeles Ferrari.

    Values of all Enzo era cars just jumped another 10% across the board b/c driving an f1 car on the street is almost too SuperCar

    So, how will LaGlickenhaus drive? Will it be like the MP4-12C, which is only fun to drive at 10/10ths? Or, will it be like the Pagani Huayra, fun to drive at any speed, even when sitting still?

    Complately agree.
    I don't know how could Ferrari do this,to combine ENZO(Polished) with P4/5 just like that.Honestly,if without P4/5,maybe I'll say 'wooow what a amazing car',but now,the LF is just a copy of P4/5 & Enzo...and,ferrari says(LAFERRARI.COM) the idea was gotten from 33OP4 & 312P...they did what Pininfarina had done...

    When I first saw the pictures of this car, I was left cold; didn't really like it and thought Ferrari shot themselves in the foot with this car. However, after watching the video and seeing it from many angles, I have to say I love it. The interior is stunning. It all makes much more sense to me now (the design) and I cannot wait to see one in the carbon. The name though, well...that will never grow on me. :eek:

    Well done Ferrari.

    And by the way, I was incorrect after all about my comment yesterday saying the car under the cover had no roof. Oops :eek:

    The specs are great, the styling is really not that great(trying to be nice) but the name!! Good Lord... How the heck could they come up with such a dumb name!!! Just mind boggling.
