Has the FF been a total flop for Ferrari? I've never seen one on the road, wheras I've seen loads of Aventadors/Phantom Coupes/Veyrons/Insert any other rare-ish high value car here...

Not once seen an FF, seems a bit strange. I know there's a long waiting list but that doesn't usually seem to make that much difference in Central London?

There was one at the last SS at Goodwood which had presumably got there by road,it was

quite dirty.

And it was parked next to his McLaren MP4 12-C which his missus/mate drove down there.smile

I saw one on the M5 earlier this month, what an ugly beast of a car! I don't know what surprises me most, that Ferrari decided to build it or that at least one has found a buyer (assuming it wasn't a demonstrator)!

What a ridiculous comment. The FF has been out 5 minutes, give it a chance. Of the bunch you've mentioned, the only one I've seen on a public road was a Veyron in Germany about 5 years ago, they're hardly commonplace either.

Yes - there is one around the Henley-On-Thames area; seen it three times.

There's one outside a localish indy dealer, although it doesn't seem to be for sale. It's stunning to my eyes, which is saying something as I'm very difficult to please and not a fan of modern Ferraris.

I'd have one.

It's been almost a year to be fair..

And as you said, you've only seen one of the cars I mentioned, once. I've seen a fair amount of all of them, I'm not bragging about the fact, just pointing out it's a different story in central London.

Saw a grey one in Wimbledon Village a few weeks ago, it is pretty big on the road but would still like one in TDF blue.

There you go then, it's clearly bombed.

Saw a gunmetal grey one just up the road from Maranello coming out of the BP. Wasn't keen to be honest.

Wasn't sure if it was just me. I had a feeling this would happen from the start...

The back looks like a mix of every current generic hatch, Peugeot lookalike grille. Not a great recipe for a 250k GT.

Bring back the 612, all is forgiven...

You can't accuse them of a Peugeot lookalike grille when it was Peugeot who deliberately copied the classic Ferrari grille! FWIW, I like them a lot - always had a soft spot for 4-seater supercars (even the 400), agree the rear could be better though.

Just follow the sound of screaming kids and you should be able to find one.

No it hasn't. Early UK cars were delivered around October.

I like the perspective effect that makes the M look tiny! O/T what a great looking car the M is, surely destined to be a classic?
