    Agree, best angle. Not really digging the front. Anyway it is exactly as expected, hardly any surprises good or bad, except for maybe the not-over-800 hp engine...

    I just read that the Purosangue is only 5 feet tall! That's going to, in my opinion, give it an added level of sportiness/sexiness (strictly discussing cars/SUVs) my friends! ;-)

    It looks very nice. But im not ready to pay so much money for the daily crossover.
    I'll wait for the 812's replacement. It will be fantastic.

    What's punchy is they will sell every single one they make.

    =)

    Though I think the better gut check is that nobody is forced to buy one or like it.

    I get it; many folks prefer we go back to earlier days of true elegance, beauty, and most importantly - purity.

    Yes but you have to buy one of these SUV if you want the F167 any time soon.

    You can't just cherry pick a favourite...

    Makes me laugh that the FF and Lusso are roundly criticised for being ‘fugly’ and yet the PS receives nothing but praise for being a jacked up FF/Lusso with an extra set of doors :rolleyes:

    I've always loved the FF and Lusso, so don't look at me. As far as the PS receiving nothing but praise, I guess you haven't been on this forum that long.

    I actually really like the FF and the Lusso and I would say that the PS has been pretty well criticized so far. You might want to check your filters as you're clearing not seeing every post. :D

    The interior is very nice, much more spacious as I see it on the configurator.

    The exterior design, as I said in the past when images were leaked from the factory, the back is nice, the front not so. Aerodynamics and safety standards did put limitations to the designers to make it a much more radical. I guess that's why they chose suicide doors.

    As for the price tag, even after COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and the overall economic hardships that are coming, the haves won't be hesitant to buy it.

    So much want...

    This to me is a great evolution of the FF/Lusso line. Well done Ferrari.
    Now can I have it in the V6 Hybrid version for $80-100k less please.

    Meh, predictable.

    Not gorgeous but not hideous. Very safe derivative design based on their current language. Surfacing is a little doughy but given the platform constraints understandable. I'm not a fan of the A pilar intersection with the vent scallop. i think they phones that element in. I also think the rear haunch profile could have been a little faster of a line and crisper. It looks soft in the pics but I'll wait to see it in the flesh. Not sure on the front yet. At first blush it feels very cartoony and not aggressive or in line with a sports car. Almost Hyundai like to me.

    Are those black wheel arches plastic?!? I get that they are a visual trick to distract from what would otherwise be a very heavy, thick side section but I cringe to think they are plastic ala Chevy.

    No matter what they will all sell and hopefully help get their F1 team back on top. lol, they could offer it in wood paneling if I get to see Ferrari win LeMans again!!! :)

    It's impossible to please everyone, that's true.

    What makes me ponder about the "Purists" is they act as of this will replace their sports cars, the F1 team, and Le Mans. Do they not realize the very profits this vehicle delivers will allow more 'harder' core cars, give more resources to racing, and expand the brand equity?

    The Porsche Macan does not make the 911s or 918 any worse off or looked down on. Would Porsche have considered entering F1 if they were in a questionable financial state?

    The Ford-150 does not take away from the Ford GT; on the contrary - there wouldn't be a Ford GT if the F150 didn't exist.

    Like many others, I really want to dislike this as I'm against the concept, but, boy, they're really executed this well.

    Yep. I guess Marcel Massini isn’t infallible after all, despite the perfunctory way he slings his proclamations.

    It's exactly that !
    The sale price initially set was 280 k€.
    Let's see how far they can go since here, currently, with the options we have is at 500 k! it leaves a little margin for the VS... All this is very sad, but in phase with the classification of RACE "luxury product", not "sports car manufacturer".
