Such a hypocritical name.

Matt

 

I almost feel like they've called it that to wind me up haha

 

I’ve owned a 4-digit serial number Ferrari, and still have a 308.

it winds me up, to.

Matt

 

Agree. It should have been Gonfiare.

 

hahahaha, had to look that one up!

 

I weep.

 

I fart in its general direction.

Kevin

 

Yup, that just screams Ferrari. My first thought was the shape resembled my girlfriend's new Honda HRV.

 

I've said this a few times...
But I feel it's always important to raise the point and perspective of someone in the business and has good relationships with manufacturers and honestly lives breaths and studies the car business overall.... Now that doesn't make me right about everything I say but... I think my points are worthy of hearing.

Ferrari needs the suv.

They do.

You might not like it but they have to build it.

It's too big of a market and honestly they can't keep building these sports cars without canibalizing their line up.

Also you don't want them to build crappy cars they make you buy in order to get the cool whatever.

Let them build an SUV. Make the money on those suckers because they will sell every last one of them... With zero issue. Then they will be fabulous special cars for us to all enjoy.

Without the boxster.... There would not be a us gt3. Without the cayenne there would not be a gt3rs and gt2rs and a speedster and a 911r etc...

U want them to build it.

Lambo is doing it and they are killing it and are going to use that money to find even better cars.

If you are a Ferrari fan... You should support the unfortunate arrival of an SUV

 

actually it looks like another repackaged Porsche Cayenne, etc etc...

 

Saved Porsche.

 

Yup and actually turned it into one of the most profitable brands In the industry... For several years it was. Might still be.

 

I understand what you are saying and, in principle, agree.

But much as most of the motorcycles I see on the road today are baggers/cruisers/etc., I'm glad Ducati (or Aprilia, etc.) has never built a 900lb bagger. I was hoping Ferrari would be the Ducati of the car world.

 

They didn’t call the the Cayenne the Reinrassig, did they?



Matt

 

True, at least I can pronounce Cayenne.

 

Well, it's hidden under a cut up and slapped together Maserati body, so I'm sure it will look nothing like that.

I think the name is stupid, but Ferrari has done stupid names before.

 

Only recently, right?

Matt

 

Reminds me of Beyonce's sister , I'll pass.

 

I was specifically thinking of LaFerrari, but everything outside of the V12 single cylinder displacement and the V8 liters displacement/8 could be considered. 612 is just flat wrong, for example. It's not six liters. But 5.712 wouldn't be an improvement.

 

I’m with you completely, George.

Matt

 

Stevie Wonder got an exclusive preview..

 

I agree with technom3. If the Macan and Cayenne eliminated the 918, 718, 911 (or somehow diluted them) - detractors would be on to something.

 

Does Ferrari need saving?

 

Looks too much like a Maserati!
