As we say around here: NON MI PIACE
In Response To: speaking as a car designer ()

I understand the need to open the brand to new markets, new users etc etc.. but sport cars must remain sport cars, not funky hybrids.
Sometimes they can develop into grand tourers, as Ferrari did with the strikingly beautiful 456 in the 1990s but that's about it: finito, stop, basta.

As a proud owner of a much beloved Carrera 964 I really cannot stand the sight of all the Panameras and Cayennes: we did not need on top of all that a creative explosion from Ferrari design department..

I quite like Matt's project though! Well done indeed.
