other than the odd bulge on the hood the car looks pretty much the same as 612...

that's just the old body, the car has a new chassis, which will be used for the next Quattroporte as well. The WB will should be increased a bit on the F151.
The bugle shouldn't be functional iirc, just for ease of work, only when they are two on the early prototypes based on 612s with the new suspensions.

I can't beleive Ferrari have gone down the 4WD route. Maybe they have realised their target audience - useless footballers who can't drive. I can enjoy it or excuse it in a lot of supercars, but not a Ferrari.

As for looks, I can't complain. And if its got the same dual clutch transmission as the California thats a good thing.

No, apparently Ferrari have stopped producing manuals due to the lack of interest from buyers.

Think it was in CAR magazine I read that.

They are still available for the 599/612, as the F1 is exactly the same gearbox, apart from a couple of actuators and the electronics.
Right now about 10% of cars are equipped with the manual.

Don't know about the 458, it will probably have just the DCT, unfortunately.

Why is the steering wheel warning in German? I woulda figured that the testing would be done - you know - by Italians.

Also, does anyone know if a breakdown of model sales can be found for Ferrari?

Schumacher still can't read italian?

I've seen one but I don't remember where. I do remember that their best selling cars ever in order are
1. F430
2. 360
3. F355

I was more interested in yearly by model sales; I want to know how well the 599 and 612 are doing.

don't know about the 599 precisely, but the 612 sells so poor (as expected btw) they are still talking about teething problems, as there are few of them around, and so it takes some time before a problem is discovered, let alone on more than a car so to understand if it was due to assembly, components or design.

Still love it.
