The design company wouldn't be lost. The ownership would just defer away from the Pininfarina family.

Pinifarina is a name homologous with Ferrari & losing them would be sad
Adithya Chandrasekhar Feb 19, 2012
We will probably see it, but it would be owned by someone other than pininfarina
Drake Hughes Feb 19, 2012
Does this man we'll never see the concept?
Pratik Parija Feb 19, 2012
Seeing it up close one can appreciate how beautiful it is
Thibault Leroy Feb 19, 2012
i wish the 458 had a V12 or at least a V10
Matthew McKernan Feb 19, 2012
Yes I agree, see it up close in person, which I did, and it looks absolutely beautiful.
Nick Benz Feb 19, 2012
Didnt like it until i saw and heard one in purpose. It looks terrible in pics bu it really is a great looking ferrari
Dillon Magee Feb 19, 2012
Not a fan of the FF. other Ferrari's r great though.
Jason Brown Feb 19, 2012
Live the FF. but does it really have to be a hatch back? Seriously looks like a station wagon. And people respond by saying it is to store more thing... Seriously who drives a FF to run errands and have it parked at the grocery store?
Dan Ruth Feb 19, 2012
Its a ferrari, it has to be a nice glossy shade of red
Casper Due Hansen Feb 19, 2012
The Ferrari FF is truly a masterpiece! Amazing curves! B-E-A-UTIFUL!

Well, he signed the trade agreement in 1996.
Colin Dzendolet Feb 19, 2012
@Chris it's a couple, the Clinton's were instrumental in selling our debt to them
Pratik Parija Feb 19, 2012
Dang that's a lot of debt but it would sad to see such a famous design firm to close.
Chris Dimattia Feb 19, 2012
Google pininfarina and BAIC. Wanted to buy them last Jan. Rather them go bankrupt than be owned by the communist Chinese. Who can tell me the 1 man who is responsible for the rise of China? I know. Do you?
Brad Wood Feb 19, 2012
I am no expert on the business of vehicle design, but that seems like a lot of debt to me for a boutique design firm. Where could they have possibly spent that much money in this business? It's sad to see a legacy like this go away.

Do they have an option lol I mean no one would buy them out that's way too much money
Pratik Parija Feb 19, 2012
That would be sad if they close.
Shaun Conroy Feb 19, 2012
This is a design firm, not a country!
David Justice Feb 19, 2012
Better than 16 trillion though. LOL
Boyd Boudreaux Feb 19, 2012
Crazy!, how in the hell can you get in $234,000,000.00 in debt at what point don't you see the red flags
Cory Deines Feb 20, 2012
Italian shooting brake with a naturally aspirated 6.3L V12 and AWD...if you don't like this car you're in the wrong place.

Jukes are ugly. But they have nothing on the Nissan Cube.
Devin Babyn Feb 19, 2012
I just saw a juke for the first time today. I was extremely surprised at how small the thing is
Paul Lissona Feb 19, 2012
Yah puke sounds good for the juke.
Brad Wood Feb 19, 2012
I like it for the fact that it is bold and different, and it is sting enough to inspire "love it" or "hate it" responses. No one will say "meh, it's ok I guess".
Nick Sti Feb 19, 2012
The only thing wrong with the juke is the headlights
Shane Heid Feb 19, 2012
I love this, I think the juke is disgusting
Dan Ruth Feb 19, 2012
Jukes aren't ugly, can't anyone think of something new?
NalaKing Feb 19, 2012
He should look at Juke R instead of a normal Juke.. lololol
Peter Jalsaeng Kim Feb 19, 2012
ugly . looks like an alien..
Rishaan Sharma Feb 20, 2012
I think the 458 is the only Ferrari that actually looks good in yellow
Thibault Leroy Feb 19, 2012
this car is really nice but like any ferrari its really ugly in yellow
Dillon Magee Feb 19, 2012
1 of the best looking cars, IMO.
Robin Ramirez Feb 19, 2012
That's what you call a "Sexy Beats"
Jason Brown Feb 19, 2012
Love how this one sounds. My neighbor has it in yellow and looks just as nice as the red.
Kaden Dauter Feb 26, 2012
Now THATS a proper Ferrari
Brad Wood Feb 19, 2012
Bring this body back with modern mechanicals, and you've got a masterpiece.
Carlton Salmon Feb 19, 2012
The 288 GTO is for me the most beautiful car I have ever seen.
Chris Penza Feb 19, 2012
I love these. Just classic
Sheldon Couch Feb 19, 2012
One of my fav ferraris, the sound of that v8!
Adithya Chandrasekhar Feb 19, 2012
Whats the shiny thing poking out the bottom???
