    Yes
    It is not a zero sum game. Even on a Chevy board one should refrain from telling someone they have an ugly baby and that your baby is beautiful...

    It'll be a tough wait, but so worth it. The interior looks as classy as the exterior...T

    Bruh, I'm a burger chomping Capitalist American Pig. I could give a gawd damn about "efficiency". If it was that important, I'd be specking out a Prius.

    Superchargers deliver massive power and give you a great exhaust note. They're also less complicated than the Porto/Cali setup, which Chris Harris described as "fiendishly complex". The more complexity a machine has, the more things that can go wrong.

    On a Chevy board one should...




    ...but they won't. ;)

    Efficiency as in power wasted in order to turn the supercharger. Anyway, by your own admission you don't understand what a Ferrari is meant to be; certainly not simplistic though. Cheers! ;)

    It looks like a toy car in this light.
    This again. Ferrari is building SUVs RIGHT NOW. There is no "supposed to be" or "meant to be" anymore. The brand is owned by FIAT/Chrysler.

    I'm not going down this silly road on this forum again. Suffice it to say we disagree. But you're living in a dream world if you think there's some purist thinking going on at Ferrari right now. They've made it about the bottom line. And if that's the case, they should be building powerful, reliable cars and not complexity for complexity's own artistic sake.

    Wrong on all counts, dear sir.
    There is no Ferrari SUV as of now. There will be one though, but not in the traditional sense. Let us all wait and see.
    Ferrari is owned by Exor (the Agnellis), not by FCA. There was a spin off years ago and it is an independent company now.
    You seem to think that Ferrari is something like Ford, or Chrysler and they should build huge, low revving engines, with superchargers. I won't even venerate such a thought. The Ferrari hierarchy and management disagrees with you and they show it in practice.

    PS: I don't know which road you are referring to, as I have never had an argument with you. But I can see why others might have had issues with such uninformed statements...
