      this. it comes at a time folks are dipping into savings and even retirement to have food and shelter. They can’t stretch for a new car. Far easier to drive less.

        But the design looks like a five year old designed a speedy dumpster.

          I don’t actually dislike it, but a car that looks like that should cost $50k, not $640k.

            It would be OK as a Fiat.

              Half the trouble is that it’s a sedan, I think this is Ferrari’s first four-door car. I rather think they should have made their first EV a more familiar two-seater. And that price, man, I don’t know how to defend that.
