The badge looks out of place- definitely should have been a Maserati- and would have been a great replacement for the GT. Nice interior. Will sell like hot cakes at circa 120k, make a lot of previous Porsche owners happy and **** off the red trousers wearing brigade. If they didn’t like the California at 200k list with options...

Se what you mean though when the car was turning and front came around it did look like it needed a Maserati badge on it. Yes it has looks of others....That rear window is F Type...The rear really does look Aston DBS but I really don't care as I love it. If I had the money it could possibly.....and I say could....temp me away from Aston Martin...If I had one that is.

Worse looking...I think I am one of the few who doesn't like the look of tgecPortofino. For me this is much better looking.
The portofino has the look of the F12 about it IMO. Much better than the cali but I can appreciate not everyone’s cup of tea. The Roma is too DB11/ F type. Not a purists ferrari IMO. I am sure it will sell- but just for the badge, not the styling

You are right.....Maybe as I'm not a big Ferrari fan that's why I like it. Good point that.

Yes- the Dino is very different. Beautiful though. The Roma reflects changing times. Has given me a kick up the **** to bite the bullet and get an F12

just googled F12 and must admit that does look nice as well as the Roma;)

The F12 is the ultimate value point Ferrari IMO.... It sounds epic, looks beautiful and is properly fast.. If only .

Price wise, I saw base model price at £165k. But that could have been made up. If it's true, you're on £185k with the must-have options. For that I'd hunt down a slightly used Portofino. Or an F12. Maybe a DBSS. Or a Macca 720, and all of them would leave £20k in my pocket.

Probably.

that's what "the purists" said about the dino many moons ago ;)
They were originally badged up as Fiats as they thought it wasn't good enough to wear the Ferrari badge!!... It turned out to be one of the prettiest cars Ferrari ever made!! The Fiat Dino didn't turn out bad either, in both guises.

That white front grill looks like my wife's laundry basket. I don't hate it there's no sign of stirring in the trouser department.

Hopefully they will plummet in value so I can daily drive one soon....

Yeah, I know what you mean, Athol. Laundry baskets do nothing for me either.

Mind, I've not seen your Mrs' one. It could be a proper b0ner garage. You got any pics?

I'm nowhere near the target market for this but the actual photos are a let down compared to the visuals. Also...£200k....alot of other metal for that money.

Lots of opinions here about the new Roma.
- split decision.
Ferrari clearly missed an opportunity by failing to use the “Zeda’s” colour scheme.;)

Nice. I hope Ferrari never have to resort to such nonsense.

Yeah, dunno why they felt the need for street graffiti on a Granturismo.
Not sure they know their “buyer”, which doesn’t bode well.

Given that most people on here don't buy new, who are we to judge whether they know their "buyer"?

Worse looking...I think I am one of the few who doesn't like the look of the Portofino. For me this is much better looking.

I think that this is the prettiest Ferrari for a long time. The F12 and 812 are purposeful but this is something else. Its possibly because they've taken some cues from other manufacturers.

The one thing that has really moved on is that cockpit and console. The display looks stunning. Not overly sure about touch controls though. I prefer switches :D
