DAMNIT! I was going to post this.
Normally I am not a big fan of Ferrari but this one looks ****ing awesome. Might beat out the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera as the best Italian car ever made. Really looking forward to seeing this on Top Gear.
And there are more pictures.
AND A VIDEO!

Who's Ferrair??? 
BTW, the prancing horse of Maranello doesn't make cars with proper manual transmissions anymore, so I'll pass
EDIT: wait... wtf, AWD?!?! Well... does that mean they're going to go rallying now?

Maybe they could have been a little more original?
I like the styling, but I just don't think it will sell....just like the M Coupe didn't.
It looks like they basically slapped a long roof on a California.

Ferrari is that hot chick at the bar that won't even give you the time of day. But then you start talking to the ugly Asian lady friend of yours (let's call her Toyoat [yes, that's my acknowledgment of Krinkov's spelling error]) and then the hot Italian broad is like "Well wait, I still want the attention, I just don't want to have to talk to you."

its been a sport/hatchback design thats been around for decades, though hasnt been very popular since the sixties. so yeah they are taking a big risk with this one

The design is called a "Shooting Brake" and believe me, BMW didnt invent it with the old Z coupe,

I actually like that style, which is sort of why I went for a wagon instead of a sedan
I was just thinking it looked like an Evil Grin when I saw the front end picture.

Car Info: with the blinkers on
If it's throwback, then I'd take the Lancia Stratos in a heartbeat. Shoot, I'd take that in a hearbeat anyhow. the design language is pretty cool; they combined that of the 550 with Scaglietti and the Italia.
Kinda poor decision though from an economic point of view: it's a shooting brake design, which is just GT + lots of luggage, but who the hell buys a ferrari for long trips these days?
