I really don't understand comments like this. Uh, Ferruccio wanted to build high end GT cars that were also very fast. It was not his original intention to build 2 seat supercars with mid engines. Or, SUV's for that matter. But, cancelling the Espada successor would not "ruin their reputation", for those that really know the brand. How did that go in the remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds"? When discussion the difference between old and new Ferrari's, "You would not be a self indulgent, wiener, sir. You'd be a connesieur." Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the new cars, but I don't like it when people don't at least appreciate the old cars.
