    I'm not arguing if it's technically possible (given enough money, it surely is). Just said that I don't like the sound of that.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Reading this about the FF makes me think someone should photoshop it into the catbus from Totoro.

    Also, that's a glowing review.

    It can accelerate and handle magically, and have loads of grip. But it still is fugly for a Ferrari IMO. Even if I had the money... no.

    I'm sick of their marketing videos showing the car running through snow and sand...just be honest if you want to build a SUV and build one already.

    do you say that also about a BMW x-drive, a Subaru Legacy or a simple Audi A4 quattro? I think these types of 4WD are the sensible ones, and I think it is a wise decision to stay away from towering SUVs.

    BMW, Subaru and Audi are not Ferrari!

    as if I did not know....

    are you also opposing the lambo 4WD systems then? Or is it simply that you do not like the shape of the car?

    What's the problem with the shape? The back could have been designed in a more, äh, sensible way, but it's still a Ferrari and also a real shooting brake (not simply a four door called so for maketing reasons). I'm not a fan, but respect the decision Ferrari has made. At least nobody can argue that it looks generic.

    I don't care what Lambo does, my view is that of a long time fan(boy) of the Ferrari marque.

    Maybe My thoughts would be different if I liked the car at all... but I don't like it and the AWD is just another change at the brand that is hard to accept...especially tromping around in snow and sand.

    Guess I'm just an old phart set in his ways.

    Personally I feel the AWD system that has been developed for this car is a pretty natural extension of the e-diff in the 458. It's really nothing like what anyone else is offering, and it makes a car that would be severely hobbled in the wet (TSC killing the power due to wheel spin every 5 seconds) into an all weather speed machine.

    My house mate, who worked on the car, told me that there is actually another car company with a similar system, but he couldn't remember which one it was, either did I.
