How about the new Ferrari Portofino?

wrsbmw · 09-05-2017, 07:47 AM

It looks a lot like the Jag F Type R from the side to me but it's clearly a superior car. I will have to see one in person and drive it before I plop down any money for it. I actually like the front but others hate it. The fast back is also pretty attractive too.

I don't know, if I would to get a current Ferrari, it will at least be a 488. This and the California is just meh to me.

Not saying they are not good cars, but same in Porsche, Cayman is a good car but to me the quintessential Porsche is the 911.

Yup... Jag F type

With top closed it looks very Mini F12'ish from the side and definitely not a soft top F Type. But that's with the top closed. I think it could be very good car depending on the price point.

I like it too. Addresses a lot of the things that were weak on the California. Better name too.

Wish Ferrari would embrace AWD.

You've owned plenty of them you ever feel like the front engine cars are the ba$tards of the group? Everyone I know with 488s/458s etc. all snub their noses at the California, FF, etc.

I do not. But I do feel the FF was a bit of a fail from a value perspective as one of the softest F cars out there. The California's have always intrigued me but I just never pulled the trigger; but this car here could be the real deal.

I actually like it. Think it looks much better then CA.

Oh yeah, that is definitely the case, especially in Asia. Unless you are driving F12 or TDF, California is certainly looked down upon. There is a lot of 458 running around but you don't ever see California in Taiwan.

It's a shallow world we live in.

I'm shocked at how much shit I'm getting for wanting an FF lol
