    I think it looks great! This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for in an FF update - don't break the formula but give it some new styling, features and performance.

    I love the new character line on the side, new lights (front and back), swoopier back end, big touch screen in the middle (but still keeping some physical controls), new passenger display, additional steering wheel controls (wiper system changes, buttons for answering/hanging-up the phone). I like the new interior design but I'm looking forward to seeing if they can still accommodate things like diamond-stitching which I love on mine. Love getting 29 more HP to play with and intrigued to learn more about changes to the 4 wheel drive and new 4 wheel steering.

    It looks like have the keyless start fob from the 488. Hopefully they've also got have a proper keyless entry such that you don't have to press a button to lock/unlock the car or even open the rear hatch.

    This EVO article says...

    I'm so excited! Can't wait to hear more. I'm first in line with my dealer to get one.

    100% agree. Improvement over the FF but that bar was set really low. Not an attractive car to me. Right up there still with the FF and Panamera. The rear doesn't work.

    I was expecting a major aesthetic improvement on the update but am sadly disappointed. I'll be waiting for Porsche to makes it Mission E in a couple years I guess

    PF style is missing. Do not like the new look, to arbitrary.

    Curious by how much FF prices will drop.

    where are all the doubters that didn't think the in-house design team could do it?

    I used to be one of them. And damn I was wrong. I think this is the best looking car in the Ferrari lineup right now. Well done, Ferrari.

    Looks fantastic, this will be the best daily driver in the world in my opinion.

    Not my cup of tea - it is two cars, one half in front of the windshield, and then the rest after the windshield.

    I fully respect that everyone seems to love the GTC4Russo - however my wife and I are 100% old-style FF.

    Although most seem to prefer the new, we don't.

    Exactly how I would spec mine. And 100% agree with you. I think this will be the best daily driver on the market. Can't wait to see the car with my own eyes.

    Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I really really dislike the new look. I was (and still am) a huge fan of the original FF, and it appears I will stay that way.

    That said, I am 100% (selfishly) thrilled that this car has come out. The FF being eclipsed by a newer yet still V12 updated model means the prices should drop pretty significantly and I might be able to afford one someday!

    There has clearly been a trade off and compromise between the FF and the GTC4 Lusso. The GTC4 Lusso may have better proportions. The FF may have more elegance in the details. Both are nice in a different way.

    Can someone post a set of side-by-side FF and GTC/4 pics for comparison purposes?

    I like, very very nice updates. The name though is a bit weird but nothing I can't add to my brain.

    The back looks like it has lost that little extra "hump" at the top that just made it that little bit awkward (to me).
    Now more rakish and swept down on the back.

    I think they hit this one out of the park.
    Very nice indeed.

    Thanks, Gentlemen. Easier to see the differences which, to my old eyes, are pretty subtle.

    Stretched vents on the side and down-turned edge of rear side windows help elongate car.

    Lovely but a bit VW Scirroco crossed with a 355 at the back and all a tad over styled. Still lovely though
