      But the design looks like a five year old designed a speedy dumpster.

        I don’t actually dislike it, but a car that looks like that should cost $50k, not $640k.

          It would be OK as a Fiat.

            Half the trouble is that it’s a sedan, I think this is Ferrari’s first four-door car. I rather think they should have made their first EV a more familiar two-seater. And that price, man, I don’t know how to defend that.
