Cars that are not how you imagined them...

So the other day, I saw a Ferrari FF.
Having only ever seen these on the TV or in magazines, I had an image in my head of what this thing might look like in the flesh. However, when I actually saw one, my judgements were somewhat off. For one I didn't realise how long it looks! and I never noticed the sort of saggy middle bit either. Like how James May described the one series as looking like a collapsed sofa, the FF had the same sort of thing going on. But with that shooting brake rear, the side on shot of this car made it resemble more of a clown shoe shape!
The Lambo Gallardo is another car I got wrong, even though Clarkson described it as being no longer than a Focus. I had a Focus at the time, but I still wasn't prepared for how short and squat the car looked and certainly didn't think the roof line would only just reach above my waist!
I am also always suprised at the sheer size of Dodge RAM's even though I have seen them many times before. The front looks like a friggin house. A guy next door owns a SRT-10 version and its 22 inch wheels still look too small.
