(read: consistent from one person to another) comments and conclusions about objects, the perception and "feel" of those objects (notice the roots of the words Objects and Objective...) can vary completely and greatly from one person to another, regardless.
I love the 599 - how it drives, how it handles (despite being a bit heavy) and that drive train...mmmm...
While I hated the California (at least on the Monticello track; I also tried it for a short time on the street and my opinion hasn't changed)
We all seem to be in agreement about the FF, but I am slowly warming to the body (ugh heaven forbid!)
I share your warm feelings for the 550/575 design, Patrick, but I am not a fan of the F12 body styling, though I do like the LaFerrari more and more...
Kinda reminds me of the conversation I had with a friend about the Porsche 997.2 GT3RS - the 991 GT3 with PDK might be faster (will be faster, I'm sure) but I don't care, I'll always love the feel of DRIVING a three pedal manual, rather than STEERING an automanual with floppy pedals (with all due respect to Mr. Preuninger...)
Thanks for your post, Patrick, nice pics and presentation.
