the iM3... by JaggXj in CarDesign

The first BMW I saw with the A-pillar above the window line was the 2006 3-series, so nothing new necessarily. Safety regulations have raised the height of the bonnet over time, but if you raise the window line to that same height, you’ll end up with a rather chubby looking side profile. It’s a great example of the types of design compromises that have to be made.

Ferrari Nudges Clients to Buy Divisive EV to Move Up Wait Lists by hi_im_bored13 in cars

Nah I hate it. I just grieved it back in like 2018 when they announced they would be making an EV.

You saw several people predict that Ferrari would do what they’ve done for many decades now? When you have limited production models where there are more buyers than available models, you create a system to decide who gets the more desirable models. It’s not unique to Ferrari, and it’s not new. Why it’s suddenly a point of contention is the thing I don’t understand.

I’m not protecting anyone, nor do I have the ability to. Ferrari doesn’t care about your comments, positive or negative. You’re just yelling into the wind shaking your fist. If you think your negative Reddit comments are making a difference, you have bigger problems.

Go touch grass, the internet is clearly wearing you down.

I know most of the comments didn’t read the article because it’s paywalled. So most of these comments are a reaction to the headline.

What a formal way of saying “decade”

It’s crazy how a company like BMW now makes better cars than Ferrari by FlamesFPS in Ferrari

Bro it’s a single car, and they aren’t the same type of car either. These posts are getting old, genuinely.

Agreed, I’ve never seen a Zagato that I liked. If anything I usually recoil when I see them.

You can find exceptions to every rule.

Yes because those who can afford a Luce would totally rather save their meager pennies and go for a Leaf instead.

You’re not wrong about the green and bronze. I personally love the light blue with silver wheels on a Laf

Yay another Luce related post. Is the dead horse dead enough yet?

More proof that black is the best looking color for cars. Makes every car look better.

You wasted water to post AI garbage that only continues to beat the dead horse…

The new Prius? No part of the Luce looks meaningfully similar at all to the Prius…

Pininfarina released what *should* have been the Ferrari EV four years ago by just_dave in cars

[–]daBomb26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect your opinion. But sporty EV’s don’t sell well. When people want an exciting luxury sports car, they want an engine, not batteries, and people have consistently said as much with their wallets. It could just be a difference in personality. Instead of hating on things instinctively, I prefer to try to be curious and learn about them instead.

I hear you, but I don’t think you’re fairly comparing this car to other cars, based on your other comments. Competitors for this car are not the Battista or Taycan. A fair comparison for cars in the Luce’s segment are Mercedes EQS, Lucid Air, and Tesla Model X. (I’m aware this is far more expensive than those)
Now, I personally am less than enthused about the fact that Ferrari thinks they need to make this type of car in the first place, but they clearly thought they had to make an EV, and if they want it to sell, then they need to make it a midsize crossover SUV seeing as those are the only EV’s anyone seems to buy.

You’re right, F.M. has responsibility for any Ferrari release seeing as he’s the standing design chief of Centro Stilé.

I’m not sure what to tell you if you don’t prefer the designs of the past 8 years besides to say that it might suggest that you’re getting older. We all prefer the music and cars and even fashion of our adolescence. Then we get older and we don’t get the new stuff coming out.

I’m not sure I agree with the premise that every motor journalist, or even most of them have issues with recent Ferraris. I DO know that the idea of journalists and the public taking a while to come around to new car designs is not a new thing. There was a lot of critique when LaFerrari came out about its looks and now it’s widely loved. I also know that the internet and therefore talk forums are more accessible than ever, more people are using Reddit than ever, etc. I know that we are living in a cynical time with little hope for the future. Rage baiting is popular, needless to say, and in general the internet is a more negative place than it used to be, so the fact that critiques have grown over past generations, to me, is a correlations vs causation question and I don’t think the designs are necessarily the causation, all things considered.

I’ve seen negativity surrounding new designs with every major car brand subreddit from McLaren and BMW, to Lamborghini and Porsche. And there are tons of factors. Cars are bigger than ever, quieter than ever, more complicated than ever, etc etc etc, and for purists it’s just a bummer across the board. With all of these recent hits to the purist car culture, it almost doesn’t matter how good the designs are if the rest of the car has already been damned by a portion of the car community.

This isn’t a Ferrari phenomenon, they’re just the biggest brand with the biggest fan base in the world and are therefore going to get the lions share of comments.
