As an unabashed fan of shooting brakes, I like the FF. And the Panamera isn't terrible.

Flame suit on.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

And that thump you just heard was old man Ferrari turning over in his grave.

IMO four of the most beautiful cars in the world:

In comparison the FF and the Panamera make me a little nauseous.

Ditto. I've seen the FF in person and found it to be a much more attractive car. I don't hate the Panamera concept, only that they made it a hunchback. Had they compromised a bit of rear seat headroom to make for a more flowing roofline it would have came out pretty nice.

Of course I like the BMW M-Coupe as well, so maybe I'm just weird.

Same here. The elevated rear 3/4 view is not the FF's best angle. But when you see it in the flesh, it's not so bad. That said, truly good designs (4 of which cairns pointed out) look good at any angle, in any color. In person or in photographs.

As for the Panamera, I think the A7 and the Rapide illustrate what the Panamera could've been.

I think Ferrari could put a V-12 in a bread van and someone would buy it.

I'll stand in this line. The Panamera has grown on me. I think the FF is sex on wheels.
