Honestly, that's been my thought on this project: Do it once to pacify the whiners, show that it sucks, and get on back to making proper product.



Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

You can fix that easily.

EV’s make great commuter cars and that’s it. So spending $640k on one when you could have spent $20k-30k in the used market is dumb as rocks.


When I get back from my trip I’m converting my 355 from the F1 paddle shift to a block shifter. A company in Texas makes a retrofit kit.


Is that the same company that does the gated manual conversions on the 430 Scuderia?

Had a neighbor in our first house that had a gated manual '92 348 Spider & a '99 355 F1 Spider.

Never got a chance to get to know him before we moved.

I like the Honda P250UA5 posted. Though I don't understand slow electric cars.

I don't think they cost much/any more than fast ones.

(Within reason. I get that S Plaids had some trickery going on, but my 3P doesn't have much/maybe a slightly less trick battery, and just copy the performance of a regular 3LR.)

At first I thought it could be pronounced 'loochay' until after seeing the design and realized it is 'lose'.

It's a horrible looking car and a terrible idea, but they can't really just blame the marketing guy for it.

Like bigwagon said, he's being scapegoated. Marketing is far down the chain and had no input on the design of this turd. They were given the impossible task of polishing that turd.

I don't know what's going on over at Ferrari but they have really lost their way. They have completely abandoned their design DNA. Almost all of their current models could be mistaken for a Chinese car.

What if they fucked up on purpose?

Now they can say hey heavy handed EU regulators and envirothugs we tried to go with an electric car and it was a disaster so we are going back to what makes sense and what we know best.
