they better enter the Dakar Rally or something if they're going to follow the "Race on Sunday, sell on Monday".

I was hoping they'd revive the Dino before this...

If that's true.. well then they're not selling out They're just adapting to the times.

I'd still rather see a 5 door sedan before an SUV though!
IMO, Ferrari hasn't had any problem funding anything within the company. This is a very bad attempt for Ferrari to keep up with other automakers that Ferrari has already surpassed in their auto line-up!!

Also the Sultan of Brunei had a Ferrari 456GT Sedan custom made and, IMO, it pretty ugly. Just google it.

They are probably looking at how the Cayanne has been so profitable for Porsche. Even though I don't approve and I think the Cayanne is the worst thing Porsche has ever built, since it saved the company and allowed them to continue to build cars like the 911 turbo and the new cayman, God bless. If Ferrari needs to build one of these things to remain afloat and continue to build cars like the Enzo and such, then so be it. Only, I don't think Ferrari is in any kind of financial presure, are they?

Q7, Touareg, Cayenne all ride on the same platform, that's why they all have the same silhouette.

Mazda CX-7
