Personally its not the Ferrari for me, perhaps i'm old fashioned even though i'm still young (under 30!!), but to me Ferrari's should all have a clear racing pedigree within them, they should be sports cars for the road but cars that have a clear racing lineage none the less.
If you are an Oligarch that wishes to take a flash car with you to Verbier then this will fit the bill perfectly but for anyone else a Range Rover would suffice shortly?!
I miss the Ferrari of old and for me some of the mystic of the brand has been lost what with the launch of Ferrari World in Dubai, the California and now this. I appreciate Ferrari are only a business giving the market what they apparently want, but its this type of "market" that seem to be dictating the future direction of the brand that worries me. I just wish they could have kept something back, I mean why should a Ferrari even try to be all things to all men/woman (4 seats, 4 wheel drive, room for golf clubs etc)?!

Could not have said it better myself, 100% agree.If you are an Oligarch that wishes to take a flash car with you to Verbier then this will fit the bill perfectly but for anyone else a Range Rover would suffice shortly?!

How far is it from the front of the engine to the front of the car? 
And what's under there? Front Diff?
All in the name of weight distribution - 53% over the rear wheels.And what's under there? Front Diff?
The front-mounted gearbox is very small:
And would look like this if you had X-Ray vision:
Although if you did have X-Ray vision, you probably wouldn't be looking at Ferrari drivetrains...

Another pointless, minging car for people with more money than sense.
That's a big market segment though isn't it?Any chance of Jag reinventing the Lynx Eventer, if the FF and Panamera prove to be successful??

Is it huge on the outside then? In pictures it looks similar to the norm ie 430/458 size but I can't see how that could fit so much stuff, even given the front engine.
It's a big car, absolutely, but the design manages to hide the proportions very well. Bear in mind that I was seeing the car in isolation, indoors, under lighting. Chris-R is better placed to give the definitive answer having driven it on the road.
