I quite like it. Except for the four wheel drive and the automatic gearbox.
Not quite sure if it works as a Ferrari. Or an italian car for that matter.

Visca Catalunya!
The bottomline will be that people who can afford it, will still buy this. Just because it has the prancing horse on it. That doesn't mean it is a beauty.
I pronounce a diesel version. And maybe a SUV after that. Poor Enzo.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the front bumper/grill was Peugeot. I don't mind the car, but for a Ferrari its very different. They seem to be all over the place with their styling.
I need to see more pictures (I'd like to see the interior), but from what I see I like it. I especially like it in that silver-grey color. I always liked the Aston Martin DB5 Shootingbreak and the BMW Z3 Coupe, but if you hated those cars I'm sure you won't like this either.
I'm assuming the "4WD" is more of a rear-biased AWD system similar to the Audi RS cars and the Porsche Panamera 4.

Why so serious?
I like the overall design and I think the wagon shape is a great idea. The 4WD is an on-demand setup, so under normal conditions it's RWD. I imagine there'll be several settings for it a la the 458's traction control, from snow (no slip) to race (no 4WD unless you're crashing) or similar.
Also, there won't be a diesel version but there will be a hybrid one.
Life's too short to drive bad cars.
All the Ferraris have odd smiles now- the front is a lot like the 458 Italia.
It's really terrible looking.
I don't mind the fact that it's a breadvan- it's not the first Ferrari breadvan. It's just so freaking awkward. I never found the Z3 coupe to be awkward at all actually- just the typical German weirdness.
Ferraris aren't styled the way they're supposed to anymore. Nor are BMWs.

Those screen grabs won't be doing it justice, save your final opinions for when you've seen it in the flesh or at least better pictures.

If it where a fast back I'd love it....
But I hate it. That and AWD and automatic gearbox is NOT what Ferrari is supposed to be.

It's not an auto, it's a 7 speed dual clutch transaxle.. same as the Cali and 458.

I am more mystified by the name. Are we all quite sure that "FF" does not stand for "Ferguson Formula"? I am not sure that I can really believe that it is coincidence. The similarities extend to the size, layout, target market, engine size, and the technological improvements. Even the shape is similar, albeit with a shorter boot.
Not diggin the front end at all. The rest of the car actually seems fairly decent.
Buy a car for you, not for other people
I like it. It's out there and new.

The "FF" designation surprised me too... but Jensen's WAS 40 years ago. I like most of the styling and appreciate the technical specification, but not crazy about the overly aggressive anime face Ferrari has decided to roll with. This week is Cavallino; last night was the cocktail gathering and about thirty 2011 cars were lined up, new styling cues evident.
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
If sold, I'd say this proves Enzo right about his costumers.
