Ferrari FF AWD Hatchback...finally a decent ski-car

[Alaskan Rover]

Finally a decent AWD car with some pep to have fun with on your way to your favorite mountain !!

Not your mom's hatchback.

I'm pretty sure the rear seats fold down for ski/board stowage.

An Italian E-type?

The Porsche Panamera is WAY fucking more badass. I drove a twin turbo Panamera two weeks ago....so. fucking. rad. A 4 door to boot.

This Ferrari looks like a late 60s Jaguar.

My first thought exactly, good call!

[Hugh Conway]

the FF looks like the 2+2 E-type though. blech.

[Caucasian Asian]

That Ferrari looks like your typical resort hotel front-desk girl.

Smokin' hot from the front. Then she turns around and it looks like shes got a couch cushion in the back of her pants.

[yooper]

I'd take a Panamera S too..... but I'm a hardcore Porsche fan.

[haydukelives]

the xk-e was a beautiful design
this is the worst looking ferrari ever
as bad as the porshe 928 pos

[HankScorpio]

I love Porsches but the Panamera looks fat and bloated. That FF is lean and sexy. I love the looks of the Ferrari hatch, there aren't any cars on the road like this one.

All it needs is snow tires a Thule rack.

I thought the FF looked like that BMW also and love both of them. It's a shame the BMW wasn't AWD.

I really don't like the Panamera.

Remember back in the day when everyone imitated Ferrari ? "the times they are a changin"

[MarcusBrody]

Speaking of the Panamera: I was on my way to meet some friends the other day when I saw a big rental truck cut a turn too sharply and completely rip the back off a parked Panamera. I was on the wrong side to see the collision as it was happening but it looked like it really did a number on the Porsche. It's possible that the lower back panel busted off in one piece so it wasn't really as bad as it looked, but for a fairly low speed collision, it caused a whole lot of damage. I would not want to be the kid who was driving that truck...

[Bite Me]

All the mags allege that the FF looks way better in person than in pictures.

For the Panamera, that, unfortunately is not the case. Ugly, ugly.

Dude, I LOVE old 60s Jags, I am pissed Ferrari copied it.

And yes, I like/love the 928S. Pretty much Anything Porsche makes, I love. 914, I would not own.

The Panamera was amazing to sit in and drive. Dude who owned it had already broken it in, so I beat on it. Colorado Springs has a little black forest area with some nice roads, and I got to rip it.

I like 4 door AWD cars, and the Panamera is the ultimate IMO.

[Benny Profane]

Boy, the Panamera polarizes people. Some like it (me included) and some think it's butt ugly, like Jeremy Clarkson (of course, he compounded it by testing a, gulp, white one). I don't love it, but it certainly serves it purpose by hauling four comfortably and quite quickly without looking like a truck.

The four seat E type has to be one of the biggest mistakes in auto marketing. Of course, we're talking about the decrepit late 60s to 70s British car industry there. Sad times.

[HankScorpio]

If I'm going to plunk down for a $100k four door its going to a Maserati Qauttroporte. Sorry Porsche.

Why bother spending $100k to embarrass the krautwagen - Car and Driver on the Caddy CTS-V - "we are saying yes to psychedelic power, yes to organ-shifting g-forces, yes to the great, mind-expanding duality of Cadillacs that make the 0-to-60 sprint about as fast as a Ferrari 599..... it's bombastic calm, its furious poise, its spastic nonchalance. These are hard-core performance cars, but they are also Cadillacs, with all of the seamlessness, refinement, and content that implies........ overall, but they have more bandwidth than almost anything on the road.

Get the Hennessey version with >700hp for less than $85k, and the homely Porke will look silly both physically and performance wise.

No doubt many in the collective will pooh-pooh a Caddy, but you truly need to drive a V (Wagon with 6 speed manual wagon and 556 HP anyone?), before making a derogatory noise.

The 280Z 2+2 also comes to mind as taking a beautiful car and destroying the classic lines. When in California and seeing an upcoming vintage Z, then seeing that dreadful roofline. What a shame.

[johngenx]

For a super-fast AWD ski-mobile. I'll save a ton of dough, and headaches, and buy a Nissan GT-R and some hoopdy snow tires. The Nissan can be easily modded to 850-1000hp and will smoke pretty much anything.

If I need to carry four people, a Mercedes S-Class 4-matic can be had with big power, has a giant trunk for the sex toys of my playmate girlfriends, and has a well proportioned exterior, unlike the awkward Porsche.

[DasBlunt]

The Panamera turbo is 250K, after tax.

No one should be talking Nissan or Cadillac in this thread, regardless of how stealth fighter the Caddy looks.

[wicked_sick]

This is exactly what I was going to post.

Don't know what $100,000 gets you but you're definitely entering Aston Martin Rapide territory there.

[Tech Tonics]

i just (today) spent $11,000 on a subaru Forester 2.5XT. No, it's not as badass as the cars listed above but fuck me that thing is a freaking blast to drive. and I spent a cool $90,000 less than the FF.

I have spent a fair amount of time driviing both a 308 and a 911, and this thing is nearly as fun, and a fraction of the cost. That being said, for the last 14 years I've driven a 4cyl Tacoma (high mileage) and a V8 Tundra (big and slow). so in comparison this thing feels like a goddamn rocket ship, AND it's AWD.

not sure why i chimed in...I just had no idea a muff-diving car could be so fun
