Have to agree with Michael on this one.
It's a sad world we live in where people with lots of money (and their automotive enthusiasm not in the right place) demands all sorts of cars Ferrari never would have built 20-30+ years ago.
The beginning of this trend in my opinion, started with the 550 Maranello. Now granted it is a nice car, a modern Daytona, etc....I'm not knocking it even though it's not my favorite Ferrari. The point is that I've seen repeated reports that they went front engined because it's more practical than mid-engined for the sort of things that these people want (i.e. golf clubs). It's a sad world we live in where people with lots of money (and their automotive enthusiasm not in the right place) demands all sorts of cars Ferrari never would have built 20-30+ years ago.
Reading Ferrari literature and press releases, all this talk of "the client" is freaking nauseating. And because of this "client" there will probably never again be a mid engined 12 cylinder flagship from Ferrari (obviously there will always be the super car Fs). He has needs way more important than chassis feel, curbing understeer and what not.
If they ever become a big enough company to really mass produce exotics, I have no doubt whatsoever they'll make their share of crap cars to please others.

But you don't understand......there are buyers (whom Ferrari is courting) who WANT these 4-seat, all-wheel-drive, Italian-Mercedes hatchbacks. People WANT to haul their children, the dog, skiis, beach chairs, coolers, etc. in their $300K+ Ferrari during a Nor'Easter snowstorm in the Poconos.....because they want to. So, naturally, Ferrari had to build "them" a car.....and here we are.M JFrom: Adam Green <FlatCrank [at] gmail.com>

That is a shocking photo. It must have been a heart attack for the "professional" (where's reverse on this thing?) driver.I think everyone has the same reaction though: lucky break for the owner to have an easy out of the FFugly, just write it off to insurance and you're free and clear to go get an Aston Rapide or just get a Range Rover if you want four-up motoring in a prestige land yacht weighing a couple of tons.
