Hi, Patrick,

 I've had two experiences with the FF recently, both on winding public roads ("quick look" coming shortly) and I agree with your driving impressions.

Thanks for your pictures, I like that you got the "trunk" fully loaded, I missed that pic.

about "French-stitched Italian leather " - so they have French people working in Maranello? or do they send the car, along with the leather, to be upholstered in France?  Do the French have better stitching skills than the Italians?

Truly curious!

(q might seem sarcastic, it isn't, though if the statement is purely marketing fluff, I am a little...amused...)

Cheers, and thanks for the pics and commentary!

Been really enjoying your Quick Drive impressions about the M5 (the E39 5 series is my personal favorite as well), the Maserati, and sadly have to concur with the Aston Martin - I've only experienced the V8 Vantage but your impressions are similar. Regard...  

LOL! So it's an adjective describing a technique, not the national background

Great report Patrick. Personally I like the styling of the front. Can't stand the rearend. Reminds me of the Beemer M Coupe. Regards, ED-209

Agreed...

Agreed, the rear end is not nearly as aesthetically beautiful as the front. And as good as this car is, I don't need a "practical" hot-hatch Ferrari. Chances are, if you have a Ferrari, you probably have two or three cars in the household, so you probably...
