I never liked the 612. It seemed like the soft, non-Ferrari version of the 599. What do you think?

Rusto's dad has one, and Rusto drives it sometimes. He'd be the perfect person to tell you how it is.

I think it's meant to be a completely different kind of car than the 599. It's Ferrari's DB9, or almost even CL Class/Continental GT. I didn't like it at first either but it's grown on me.

I used to feel the same way, but it's googley eye headlights have grown on me. The best angle is from behind. It's more of a gentleman's Ferrari, like the 456 and the 550.

Also cool - not as hard to maintain as you'd expect. There is some work you can do without taking the whole engine out. There is a cross member under the engine that comes out. This lets you do some of the maintenance without yanking the engine out if you have a lift.

I love it. I also love the 456 that preceded it. I'm a big fan of the GT cars in general. There's something about the four-seater Ferraris that I just like. There wasn't a whole lot of competition in that class. Pretty much the DB9 and the CL65 AMG.

In the scope of 2+2 Ferraris, it's great. But for me, it was a step back from the impossibly pretty 456GT it replaced.

The coolest thing about the 4 Seat Ferraris is that they depreciate harder than the 2 seat Ferraris. So they're always the best used purchase deals!
