    What are everyone’s thoughts on the new Roma? Where does it fit in? Are you getting one!

    Just saw the pictures! Don’t know what engine is in there, but I like it...very elegant; they have been missing clean elegant lines as stuff gets aero dominated.

    but...I don’t like the iPad interior they can keep that and bring back proper dials and switches.

    man I getting one??? Only if I win the lottery !!! But I would be tempted for sure!

    Just saw pics. Not sure if I'm feeling the love. Very Aston Martin-ish.

    Jaguar/Aston Martin front with Porsche Cayman rear. Doesn’t appeal to me one bit.

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Agree with that Aston/Jaguar coupe look

    I also see a bit of the 612 in the door “indents”

    I was surprised by the pictures. Glad to see a front engine coupe coming out and I liked it that they released it in a non-red color. I think it looks elegant, but will reserve my full opinion once I see a real pic and not a render.

    It definately has a little bit from the Maserati Alfieri, it doesn't look back, but I just hate that short "AMG-GT style" rear. The car doesn't look bad at all, but I don't like it's concept overall. Looks too soft and small for a Ferrari, but then again - like all new models, maybe we will need some time to get used to it.

    They need to ditch the 2+2 rear seats, no fully grown adults can sit back there comfortably. Besides, that will help it save weight.

    Expect the new SUV to share a lot of these details: front/grill, rear end, dash, etc.

    this is Ferrari new model 23, think I will hold out next year when they announce 31 or 32, those will REALLY be special. ;)

    not sure where to even categorize it? related to any current models?

    I really dig it. Having said that, almost all of my favorite cars have a similar "fastback" look. Nothing beats a long hood and a low, gently sloping roof line.

    I’m a little confused. Is this the new entry model and rival to the vantage?

    I love it. Honestly it has one of the best front end designs and side profiles in a front engine GT platform since the 550/575.
