    I cannot find any thread about the F151, therefore I post it here.
    The F151 will be an intermediate car between a "big" sports car and an SUV. I was really surprised when I heard about this, because I didn't think Ferrari would make an SUV-like car.
    My source is reliable, so there is no doubt about this.

    Are you talking about them doing a concept car? I hope it resembles the breadvan. That would be sweet.

    Luca just said Ferrari would never make a sedan or a SUV. I doubt they will.

    He also said they weren't doing a new Dino and ended up with the California; the misdirection was based on the exact wording. That being said, I doubt that a bigger car is in the cards right now. Too much risk with the economy and the California launch.

    Maybe he doesn't have access to the same reliable sources, though.

    Yes and the Dino was supposed to be a small, 'cheap' entry Ferrari... which the Cali is not!

    Last time I checked , it was a Ferrari California with no mention of Dino anywhere on the car.

    It's not too hard to imagine that they were kicking around the "Dino" name for a while and decided against it as it didn't work too well the first time around. They're going to have their hands full with the Kaleefornia and won't need another dud.

    That's my point, customers were using "Dino" as shorthand for small entry level Ferrari. Luca specifically denied the "Dino", but still came out with a 4th model line below the v-8 midengine line. Misdirection based on exact wording, it wasn't a Dino, it wasn't small, it wasn't entry-level priced, whatever. So when referring to a prior quote about Ferrari "will never do an SUV" keep that in mind.

    F151 is the internal name for the Scaglietti replacement, right?
    I heard this one will feature AWD, but will be lighter than the current model.
