    Have always found IMO the 550 & 575's to have a timeless design. It has aged very well and to me looks like a fusion of front engine F cars from the past with design cues from the more modern cars. Still stuck between this and the 360!

    Mike, extremely different driving experiences. Be conscious of what you want in your Ferrari for everything about the two cars is different other than that they come from the same factory. The 8-cylinder cars are 'edgier' if I can say it, akin to go-karts for the road, more difficult to enter and exit to the point of discomfort if one is tall and the offset to the right of the pedals takes getting used to, wonderful cars for a day run on the weekend in the country or a track excursion but for me was no fun at all for a weekend or longer trip.

    Maranellos are easy to enter and exit, supremely comfortable and fun to drive fast. The Maranellos can be tracked but that is not what they are built for, rather they are superb cars for a weekend run up Adirondack mountain roads to Lake Placid or the 600+ mile round trip to Watkins Glen for a Ferrari Club meeting that Judith and I have done several times.

    As to appearance, well with great respect to other opinions, you said it well and IMHO it's not even close. The Maranellos are the most beautiful road car designs Ferrari has ever produced. Ten years from now they will still be landmark designs whereas most of the 8-cylinder cars will be - well, just old Ferraris.

    just my 2c.

    Pleasant trip in the vineyards of Burgundy.
    Autumn has arrived.
    The bright sky and color of vineyards highlight the Grigio Titanio.

    -Third pics: the village is "Paris l'Hopital", essentially red wines (Pinot Noir) "Bourgogne hautes cotes de Beaune"
    -Fourth pics: the village is "Dezize les Maranges", essentially red wines (Pinot Noir) "Maranges Premier Cru"
    -Last one: view from Monthelie (near Meursault): 80% Pinot noir, 20% Chardonnay. 30% are "Premiers Crus" in red, 5% in white.

    Enjoy.

    Fred.

    Frederic, what a nice trip visiting exceptional wine yards. Theses wines wil go very well to our Maranellos, both for aficionados....

    Daniel, nice colour variation, reminds me of the epic Ferrari race cars of the 70th, glorious days.....


    Saluti,

    Jürgen

    Yes - Minnesota. Those shots are from this spring though. We are just starting to see the leaves fall here.

    Another couple favorite shots of the 550 along the St. Croix river, with a historic lift bridge in the background...

    Thanks for the insight to 575 ownership Seth. I have always thought the same regarding driving style between the two. Having driven a friends 575 SA for a day I can see what you mean about the balance between comfort, everyday use ability and speed!

    Thanks Bill!
    I've had a few cars in my days but none that compare to this one!!
    This front-mounted V12 "engine with wheels" is truly an amazing machine!!

    Hi Jean, I have had her quite a few years and she still puts a smile on my face every time I drive her, which is all the time :)

    It is truly an amazing car!
