    I think the DB11 is around 250K U.S. so it should be around same price point

    I've spoken with a friend of mine who's a top manager in one of the top car brand. His comment was: finally a really nice looking Ferrari. Good job.

    If I get a Roma, it will be my fourth Ferrari: 456M GTa, 308 GTSi, and 360 Modena sunroof/stick. I'd get it to replace the 456M, because I miss the more practical 2+2 GT.

    No way. Chicks are into the top down experience, so they will prefer the Portofino. The Roma is the more manly car.

    i disagree.

    on the other hand, i think the portofino is an embarrassment for italian design. it is one of the ugliest things to ever leave maranello.

    “The Roma was designed “for people who would like to drive a sports car, or a Ferrari, but are afraid of Ferrari and sportscars,” said Ferrari Commercial Director Enrico Galliera at the car’s unveiling in Rome on Thursday.”

    that’s an interesting insight into corporate strategy.
    Makes sense.
    The apotheosis will be Purosangue.
    It remains to be seen how successful Ferrari will be managing expectations at both ends of the buyer spectrum.

    And the design is both feminine and safe. Nothing agressive or the like. It will not be the same Beverly Hills Houswife Appliance a Rosso Corsa on Crema Cali or Porto is, but I'm sure a lot of chicks will like the subdued and easy looks.
