    I was honestly unsure of what I thought about the Portofino when I first saw the photos, and somehow (I am usually up on these things) its release took me by surprise. It looks dramatically different than the California, and my first reaction was that it looked really busy. Now that I've had time to intently study its lines (which is what one must do to clearly see what Ferrari's odd photoshops often distort), and watch the brief video clip, I can say I think it looks Great! THIS is the car, visually, that I always wanted the California to be!

    Ferrari has all but 488 with no direct competition. 812 and LUSSO nothing, in latter case at the price. Fully loaded RS6 very good.

    Absolutely agree. The muscular elegance of the exterior (and interior) are something that Ferrari desperately need to re-discover with their GT cars (Lusso and Portofino sector). SM's recent comments seem to acknowledge this so there is some hope.

    the interior detail on the new Bentley looks amazing. I highly doubt I will ever own a Bentley, but I respect their attention to detail. Its also quite impressive how quickly those cars depreciate

    My biz partner has a GT coupe with some Vostro package on it. Sounds pretty good it's a different experience then a Ferrari. Not for me but I can appreciate why others love them.

    The Cali T option wheels are much beautiful and elegant looking, also unique :) the portofino option wheels not even close, they look quite normal and you can even find similar one from Audi

    Is that an Alfa Romeo motorhome in the background?

    Am I witnessing the "true driver´s motorhome"?

    Yes you are, and what a rare sight it is, even in Italy.

    Alfa Romeo actually sold vans until 1989, though in the last decade those were just rebadged Fiats and Ivecos, like this Alfa Romeo AR8-based RV.
    Up to the early 1980s you could have your Alfa Romeo van with the famous twin cam
