Yes, I remember reading your email and I was paying attention for that.

 

It’s hardly noticeable. There’s more going on with that front grille and headlights to distract from that. Taken as a whole, I like the way the front looks. The traditional egg-crate grille will always have it’s place on the classics, but it’s hard to adapt it to today’s design language. This suits it.

It might be nicer in person, but what about the front grill ? I wrote a few weeks ago how I hated it. Does it look better in person. Again, even in that picture below, I think it's awful.

My 15 Corvette Z06 has the same type of wheel well liners. They have been completely shredded. Since it’s just a track car for me, the Cup2 tires throwing klag at them at triple digit speeds all the time make them look like one of those bead-curtain doorway covers from the 60s. Stupid idea.

So I got an invitation from our dealer (Ferrari of Vancouver) to view the new Roma. No test drives, just a showing.

 

As always, the cars look better in person than they do in pictures and it’s another example that they look better in a color other than red.

 

It’s an interesting mix of fussy details and smooth, unadorned shapes. Rear ¾ profile is a dead-ringer for the Jaguar F-Type (maybe a little more muscular than the Jag). Interior is a step in the 21st century with touch-screen everything. The gear selector switches in the center console mimic a shifter gate, which, if they’re trying to appeal to a younger generation, may not “get it”.

 

Although it couldn’t be driven, the “key” was in it and the salesman said I could start it up (via a touch-screen illuminated button in the center of the steering wheel). It sounded really nice and was more aggressive than my friend’s GTC4 Lusso V-8.

 

One thing that I found curious and was pointed out by my friend as it’s featured on his car were the wheel wells. They are lined with a fuzzy, flocked material, almost like fleece. I’m sure it’s for sound-deadening. My friend hates it as it collects every single bit of dirt and debris.
