    I'll say it again, that low rear angle really favors this car.

    Since I'm not sure if you're serious, I haven't been here that long, suffice it to say I strongly disagree.

    Totally serious, Shotgun. But, like Sir Mixalot - "I like big butts & I cannot lie!" :D Seriously, the Porto is a huge performance upgrade on the Cali, no arguing that. And, I think it's one of the best looking (& least color dependent) F-cars since they ditched Pininfarina. But, to my eye, the more curvaceous rear, shark gills & hood scoop that evoke earlier Ferrari, make the Cali a better looker, especially in a historic color like avorio. Of course, being the owner of the pictured car, adds to my bias! ;) I'm sure many disagree with my opinion, and that's OK...T

    One of the things I've had to learn on this site is to respect other people's tastes and not say this or that "sucks". People have invested significant sums of both money and time to procure these vehicles. It's disrespectful to just walk in and say "your car is ugly". This is not a Chevy board. So I'm endeavoring to be more gracious, less critical, and focus on what I like rather than what I don't like. And I love the Portofino. Stylistically I think Ferrari have fixed the things I didn't like about the Cali, and jumped up the performance to boot. Honestly, they built the car I would have built. I prefer 8 cylinders to 12, being a primitive American and all. The only real beef is that they should have supercharged instead of turbocharging in order to preserve the exhaust note. You give the Portofino the Jaguar F-Type's snarling exhaust tones, and you'd have the perfect car.

    Supercharging is inefficient compared to turbocharging and that 's why Ferrari would never do such a thing.

    Like the wheels. Having them hopped on the cub, not so much. Is that a wrap?!? Photoshop?!? What's with the gap in the wrap? On the bright side, they appear to be in Milan, which is never a bad thing!
