I like the Aventador more 
Hated the Enzo. Love the F40 & 288 GTO.

^It's not even a fair comparison. LF makes the Aventador look like the ugly stepchild.
I see influence from the P4/5.
Anyone notice the similar side profile with the 458? I love the side of the LF, the massive intake looks like a breaking wave.
Also interesting that the front grill is an active front diffuser pushing air over the roof.

LaFerrari > Laventador...
But, that's just me.
Mebbe I have expensive/snobby tastes.

Anyhoo, this just gives me more incentive to move to the Italia. Excited to get a more raw, sports car experience. This Ferrari lifestyle is not easy on the wallet

Much easier to obtain Macca or 918. How long did it take Macca to sell all examples of the F1, few years?

In Italy were sold 25 LaFerrari (40 requests).
Before Geneva all the clients had payed for this car.
Most of them have already at least 2 Ferrari in their garage... (Montezemolo speech).

Not probably: it is so. In italian LA is like saying: not one of, but THE ultimate one, the best of the best.
Montezemolo explained yesterday: we called it LAFerrari, because we consider this car the pinnacle of 50 years experience in building our sport cars: what the Ferrari brand means.

It's kinda like "The Los Angeles Angels" = "The The Angels Angels."

I do like both this and the Aventador. Between the 2 I would pick the LeHeaterarri, even with what I consider a goofy name, just 'cus it's a freakin' Ferrari.
Also, this whole discussion reminded me of this:

One issue I have is LaFerrari implies the F70 is "THE" definitive/ultimate Ferrari. What happens when the next F-super car comes along? LaLaFerrari?
LF would have been nice but Lexus already has the LF-LC.
Whatevs, any owner fortunate enough to have one of these in his/her stable prolly doesn't give a f-ck about the name

458 looked soooo sexy when it first came out....then the F12 ruined it for me coz I didnt enjoy looking at the 458 as much....and now the LaSexy comes out showing them nice curves....I dont think I will be ever able to fap to 458 or F12....

Consider that "LAFerrari" is the NAME of this car.
Than you have NOT to translate it: "the LaFerrari" is the right translation.
"I have bought a LaFerrari... and so on"))...
About the meaning. In english you have a similar translation like we in italian:
"a car" (anyone) vs "THE car" (THAT car, and only that). "Una macchina" vs "LA macchina".
Il, la, lo, le in italian is the article for smth specifical, determinated: like in english: a film vs THE film of the century.

^I see your point about redundancy but Enzo, Italia, F12 are all names too and we refer to them as Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari Italia, Ferrari F12 so why not Ferrari LaFerrari? Unless we are putting LaFerrari in a unique, standalone nomenclature as "THE Ferrari". Still goes back to my point about what to call the next, superior hypercar.

Yeah, I get it too... just like the baseball team "Los Angeles Angels," Los Angeles is the city name and does not get translated... BUT if you take a step back and say, "OK, what am I really saying here?" and break it down, then it seems kind of silly and redundant. I still love the car! 
I still love the car!

the LF is the best car ever made, in my book. the CGT has finally been dethroned.

btw regarding Lamborghini, we should really be comparing LF to that new $4mil car they introduced..............
Aventador's Ferrari equivalent is the F12.

Truthfully, I don't think anyone can go wrong with any of these ubercars though. We are picking between perfections on wheels.

OK TMI LOL. Totally agree, but even with my "lowly" Cali, having the opportunity to drive one of these, listen to the exhuast siren, and smell the Italian leather all contribute to the "experience" of being a small part of Ferrari's legacy. I love Porsche and had a great 4 years with my C2S, but few things in life stir the soul like Ferrari.
