do people actually like that?
The car in that photograph has been made to look like a sex pond trying to look like a swimming pool.

I know what a WA lens will do 
they are just car show snaps not pro images, with that many people there you probably need to get close and shoot wide to avoid clutter/other people
So your question was asking if people like the Wide Angle lens? they are just car show snaps not pro images, with that many people there you probably need to get close and shoot wide to avoid clutter/other people
...or using a wide angle lens photo to subtly persuade people to agree with your opinion that the rear looks s
t?Whilst I don't think it's Ferrari best rear end, I do like it.
And it better/cleaner than the 812

I think it's a fantastic looking thing. Would have that silver one any day of the week and twice on a Sunday.
Rumours are that this will still be decently north of £200k once optioned (Thick end of £250k?), so far from cheap and not deserving of the rather condescending implication of 'entry level' (despite it being technically accurate!). I always thought of the Cali/Port as more of a GT car - a Ferrari for every day use.
The only downside being that if you use it every day, then you will never see a penny of your money back since everyone knows you can only do 100 miles per year in a Ferrari otherwise it's worthless.
7 year warranty...not sure on service intervals...that's a 'daily' Fez right there.

Looks SO much better in silver . I wanted to love this car but was really disappointed by the original airbrushed shots of the car in red, but in these real world shots it's super desireable. 
Looks fantastic in that shotAnyone know what colour that one is? Ferrari do about 47 different shades of silver/grey.

What's not to like? I'd have one in a heartbeat:
The problem is that they put an aggressive F12 supercar nose into what is still basically a California. The back of the car can’t match the ridiculous aggression of the front. The California and Roma aren’t trying to be supercars, and that’s not their target market, they are meant to be pleasant high performance daily use GTs. The Portofino looks like a California with an F12 bodykit, and is about as well resolved as that would be.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
