Good reason not to buy a Ferrari.

Looks ugly as.

Bling for bling lovers. Perfect match then....overpriced average car grafted to an overpriced average phone.

I think it looks horrible in the center console there as well.

Onto the Ferrari.

The FF is an awesome awesome car. "Shooting break" is love it or hate it. I'm a fan. Less aggressive and more daily driver considering its still a Ferrari. All wheel drive with surprisingly capable and easy to apply traction control settings that you can switch around on the fly from gravel, snow yada yada. The killer feature for many is four seats...that you can actually use, unlike 911's.

I agree is over the top and flashy. I have never had the chance to drive a Ferrari in my days yet. 300,000 new, 250,000 for a car with 3000 miles on it. Crazy money. Further, how can you clear out a motor at proper speeds to do so @ 100mph+ when the max speed limit most places is between 60-80. Womp. Even if I had all the money, I think I'd still buy a carerra 4....but i'll let you know when i'm finally swimming in it all.
