    Did you see Ferrari managed to mess up the front end on the Roma(new version, renamed for some reason). They are going back to buttons again, instead of the touch screens. So at least we get classic sticky buttons again :D

    Kind of surprised at all the negative comments on the new Amalfi.

    When I saw the first 3/4 front photo, I thought Toyota was updating the Supra in the style of the newest Prius...:eek:

    I think it's because they took one of the best Ferrari's lately, the Roma and made it not as good. With the exception of the interior.

    People really like the Roma from the outside. This redesign makes it more bland and mainstream. Still a Roma, so still nice.

    John Id love to hear your design analysis (fully understanding seeing it in person may change things)

    Not keen on the dark bar across the nose that makes it look like an EV. The exterior of the Roma is much better, but the interior of the Amalfi is an improvement. It's really not like the Almalfi is a bad exterior, it's just not as beautiful as the Roma - it's chunkier and somehow heavier to the eye. Still objectively beautiful but relatively not as stunning as the Roma.

    If I was going to buy a GT though, it would be the Bentley Continental GT, which looks more luxurious and stately while still having some athletic credentials. Both the Roma and Almalfi look too hard and sporty as GT cars.

    All the best,
    Andrew.
