Enzo is spinning in his grave at 8500 RPM
the front end of that thing makes the pontiaz aztek look like a beauty queen
I'm sure there will be a few who will pay for a $300,000 Ferrari SUV. That's amazing...
It's a Scag turned into a SUV. BUSTED.

S L I C K 05-08-06, 02:25 PM That thing is hideous. :eek1:
mmarshall 05-08-06, 02:43 PM I agree that it is ludicrous for a company like Ferrari, but let's be honest.......that is what many, if not most, of us said whan Porsche first announced the Cayenne a litle under 10 years ago...and the Ccayenne went on to become a success. In fact, it is today one of Porsche's biggest sellers.
Now...as far as Enzo rolling over in his grave, I don't think so. Despite owning and managing one of the most exotic sports-car companies on the planet, he himself was not really much of a sports-car fanatic himself. In fact, his daily driver ( yes, I'm serious ) was an econobox Fiat 128. ( Fiat used to make a big deal of that in its advertising ). He never really looked at sports and exotic cars from a pleasurable, auto-enthusiast point of view...to him it was a buisness that paid his salary. After the death of his son he went into a depression that he never really recovered from either. And, while I of course cannot prove it, ( and I understand the desire of his employees to honor his memory ) I personally don't think he would have cared for his first name ( Enzo ) being on one of his firm's sports cars.

:agree: I hope it's just a bad CGI . . .

When did you like a vehicle primarily because of it's sales success?
Ofcourse it does not matter what I or anyone else feels about such vehicles from companies that are known for making some of the best sports cars in the world.
In the end the bean counters of such companies will decide what the company makes. However just like you have an opinion, I also have an opinion and for the record, I still hate the Cayenne as much as I did when I first laid eyes on it.
I guess Ferrari feels the need to compete with the Cayenne and the upcoming SUV from Lamborghini............... :thumbdn:
What's the deal with SUVs these days :egads:
Its inevitable. Every car maker needs a SUV. :D
Dont see much info about this truck, but it looks like someone was playing around with Photoshop.

Totally true! Those 'characteristic' headlights belong in a cartoon.
If Ferrari makes an SUV, it will probably sell as well as the Cayenne. It wall probably be fast
as stink too. I'm not a big fan of the Cayenne, but it's more cars for people to choose from and
it's good that car companies are continually pushing boundaries in design and egineering.
To hell with heritage I say as long as these cars kick a**.

many of Ferrari's that came out in past decade look very smooth and curvy, usually associated with asian cars...

: I'm not sure what you mean by " give me a break ". I wasn't saying you...or anyone else.....had to like it, nor was I trying to be offensive. I myself don't particularly like the idea of either Porsche or Ferrari SUV's.......but there is no denying it was a smart move for Porsche, market-wise. Time will tell with the Ferrari.
And.....no, I don't just judge a vehicle by its sales successes. My reviews should show you that.
MIG_Foxbat 05-08-06, 05:45 PM Thats not a ferrai, its a bad CGI job that someone had already stated before.
DASHOCKER 05-08-06, 05:58 PM It has an alien front end. What is Ferrari doing? Enzo must be rolling in his grave
DrDrilZ 05-08-06, 06:12 PM omg if that thing is for real, it has just superceded the bmw 6 series for the ugliest high end car ever!
mmarshall 05-08-06, 06:30 PM It has an alien front end. What is Ferrari doing? Enzo must be rolling in his grave
Enzo didn't really care much about things like this, or get involved with them........see my earlier post.
When I saw this thing, I thought they supersized an Alfa Romeo 147, a little car I see down here in Mexico.

He brought it up only to say that car makers do it nowadays only because it's what makes financial sense. The car companies are in business to make money after all.
Back to the topic. It's a random CGI; therefore it's not worth my time to discuss about it.:egads:
1SICKLEX 05-08-06, 10:22 PM From my reading and understanding, hell will freeze over before a Ferrari SUV is every produced.
This is a company so confident/Arrogant, they see themselves in their own class. They don't like giving cars for comparsions, b/c they think there is NO comparison.
That is clearly what someone did. No Ferrari SUV in our lifetime

I think this is true and I hope it is true.
