Didn't want to post this in the Ferrari thread since it's not hi-res, but 18 FXXKs alongside 12 599XXs.

That looks expensive... I don't know why but I'm a much bigger fan of the 599 than I am of the FXXK. They just seem less generic Ferrari.

Aside from mebbe the Land Rover Defender or the Merc G-Class (including the 6-wheeled version), is there ever an SUV that looks extraordinary?

Maybe not extraordinary.. but distinctive at least.. idk.. I just thought it would have commanded more presence. Maybe I'm jaded.
I like the aesthetic of the Range Rover, even the new Jag SUV looks good.. Of course, the new TrackHawk.. shiett.. talk about wild.

Looking at the model X... It's a cool looking car... But I can't help but feel like Tesla should do more to reinvent the automobile.

Cars forever have had the grill between two lights layout, for front engine mounted cars... But Tesla is no longer bound by those rules. Granted, they got rid of the grill, as it would serve no purpose, but I can't help but feel like they can do more with the front end. How? Well if I knew, I'd be working in their design offices

Model X is cool.. doesn't look cool.. but the gullwing doors letting you stand up in it while you buckle in the kiddos and other neat features are tits.

I checked one out at the Tesla store...you can't stand up in it unless youre a midget. The 3rd row is worthless unless youre a child. The hidden seat release buttons for the 3rd row were annoying. I can't help but feel the inside of the car feels cheap. Something "off" about it.

That said, I wouldn't say no to owning one. They are capable.
