My first thought from the side was BMW Z4 M, which I actually like.  Back view looks all F-car to me with the exception that the engine is seriously missing from the equation.  Front looks like an angry tuner car.   There is something very fun & secure about driving an AWD sports car. | ||

I agree with your assessment,(except the Z4 M--not a fan, I think truncated midget--apologies to those out there that are midgets) but I just don't see the allure of Ferrari going down this route. Granted, I am not one to drive any Ferrari, let alone this particular one; but it why even start down a new path? I have always appreciated and marveled at their ability to push the envelope with engines, technologies, etc., but I think someone had too much gelato and went a overboard with the styling. Thanks for the chuckle on the association with the 'tuner' segment. Didn't see it until the pics...  | ||

I hate everything that Ferrari has done after the 550, but I actually like the FF. Front engined V12 shooting brake = awesome. | ||

my first thought was an M coupe as well, the M is ugly but I still love them. This is just ugly and I hate it | ||

I think Enzo would not be pleased with it. It's just different and we're not used to seeing Ferrari doing anything this dramatic. M coupe look-a-like for sure. Kinda like a Porsche Panamera coupe. Not a big fan.  | ||

Anyone know why Ferrari is getting away from a mid-engine in more recent designs? | ||
