    Optional seats a must. Looks like the stitch pattern of a 308 from '80 on.

    You think so? IMO the seat pattern looks good, but then I also like the standard 348-style-wheel more than the optional 16M. :D

    The seats are too Lambo- like for me. And, I haven't been able to come up with a dual color pattern that I like in the configurator yet.

    I'd like to see what they come up with an alternative but I'm not sure Daytona's would work in this design.

    No shortcomings in the performance. A marvelleous creation. Congratulations to Ferrari.

    Yeah, a little over the top. Don't know why they put the cut outs in the bottoms but the standard seats look too cushy.

    I'd have to say the complete opposite. From most angles it's a triumph. Utterly beautiful and somehow managing to be both classic and ultra modern at the same time. But from some angles that front is a complete mess.

    No, none of the interior colors contrast well together. I'll take mine in Blu mirabeau/Grigio scuro & rosso scuderia calipers.
    Its always the same with me. When a new model comes out I'm not in love right away. It takes time. But this one took no time at all. I'm in love.

    There seems to have been a bit of a posting frenzy with the road tests!
