They say that when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail… which is why, after writing about the dangers of “automotive nationalism,” this video made left me more impressed with Ferrari’s pride in the global development of its new FF Grand Tourer than with the pure eyecandy of the spectacle. Although, to be fair, the sheer sexiness of Ferrari’s new shooting brake-style tourer left me fairly riled up as well.

- ToolGuyâ„¢ I have always resented how GM did not consult me on styling choices.
- ToolGuyâ„¢ Ford produces 6,819 vehicles in about 17 minutes.
- ToolGuyâ„¢ Yes, but No. And Maybe. With upscale soft-touch interior materials, especially below the armrest.(I am training to be an Automotive Journalist.)
- Orange260z In 2007 we drove from Regina SK to LA via Flagstaff, and Las Vegas, returning via Sam Francisco, Reno and Northern NV. The Montana "reasonable and prudent" had been repealed by then, and Montana actually had the slowest highway speeds of our trip.Through Utah, Arizona, and Nevada we were quite surprised to see a steady flow of traffic at speeds of approximately 100mph on I15, I40, and I80, but also Hwy89, Hwy93 and other non-interstate highways. Many of the vehicles doing these speeds were full-size SUVs and pickup trucks - having owned Suburbans and Yukons I get that they are comfortable cruisers at high speed, but good luck braking or swerving at 100mph.Also had a similar experience driving back to Ontario from Dallas TX - much of the daytime interstate traffic was moving in the 85-100mph range (speed limits were generally 70--75mph).

Add some explosions and that video could have been directed by Michael Bay.
Who the hell would drive a Ferrari in winter?
