I love the concept of an AWD Ferrari but I have mixed feelings about the styling. Rear end is decent, the front is awesome but that side profile... yeah, not a big fan of the "shooting brake" thing.

I'm typically a fan of the "shooting brake" designs, but not this one.
This looks like a poor man's Ferrari.

^^ All righty then! I guess I'm alone in my opinion that the front is the best angle, and that that part actually looks pretty good. Think I'll refrain from killing myself, though.
I mean sheesh, it's not like they put a Power Plenum Grille on it or anything. (We really need an Acura Beak smiley, dammit!)

^ It all goes in cycles. They have to keep changing or else none of their customers will want to upgrade, I guess.
I never liked the squared-off, angular Ferraris without the round taillights, like the 348 or (blasphemy!) the Testarossa. And I've heard people say that the 458 is a bit of a return to the design language of the 360, while the F430 was more similar to the F355, which I guess I can see.
The point is, just give 'em 5 more years and I'm sure the style you like will come back.

Press release...
The official Prancing Horse web site, Ferrari.com, has revealed the first photographs of the new FF, the company’s most powerful, versatile four-seater ever, as well as its first ever four-wheel drive car.
The FF - an acronym for Ferrari Four (four seats and four-wheel drive) - ushers in an entirely new GT sports car concept. A decisive break with the past, the new car represents not so much an evolution as a true revolution.
This new V12 melds to an unprecedented level an extremely sporty, high-performance character with incredible versatility, superb comfort and sophisticated elegance, guaranteeing both driver and passengers an absolutely unique driving experience.
Designed by Pininfarina, the shape and proportions perfectly interpret the FF’s harmonious blend of sporting DNA and extraordinary usability.
The FF features the company’s first ever four-wheel drive system. Ferrari’s exclusive, patented 4RM (four-wheel drive) weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional four-wheel drive system, maintaining perfect weight distribution (53 per cent over the rear axle). Completely integrated with the car’s electronic dynamic control systems, the four-wheel drive technology delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and in all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels. The FF is also equipped with the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3), as well as the most recent development in carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo.
Exceptional performance levels come courtesy of the new 6,262 cc direct injection engine which develops 660 CV at 8,000 rpm. In tandem with its transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox, stunning acceleration figures (0-100 km/h in 3.7 sec.) are guaranteed. The new model’s class-leading weight-to-power ratio of 2.7 kg/CV, along with its ideal weight distribution, ensures exceptionally responsive handling. The result is that owners will be able to enjoy the FF’s prowess over a wide range of uses: city driving, on low grip or snow-covered surfaces and on the track. Performance aside, Maranello’s latest model also offers standards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec and equipment previously unheard of in such a high-performance car. It can comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage, thanks to the best cabin space and boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.
A vast array of personalisation options and accessories has been developed for the FF. These include six model-specific exterior colours and sumptuous interior trim incorporating specially selected and treated aniline leather.
The FF, which will make its official debut in occasion of the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, is presented today with the first three photos from a dedicated shoot by Giovanni Gastel.

I'm not a huge fan of the looks, but I wouldnt call it hideous. I bet it has some presence in person.
The back is the best angle imo
and you cannot disregard that engine under the hood

It's pretty sad when the best angle is the rear end.
To me, it doesn't matter how good the engine is when you're embarrassed to get in the thing....

I don't mind it. The front has a psycho-looking grin though.

Whats up with RDX owners?

I must be in the minority, because I love the way it looks from all angles.
Im a sucker for hatchbacks - err, shooting brakes anyway.

while I don't think it's anywhere near one of their best designs, I certainly would not be embarrassed to get out of or into it.
