I was out today and I wish I had a digicam with me but since I didn't I had to rely on my POS Moto Razr's camera.

I was out doing some shopping with my wife when a bright red object caught my eye. That "Rosso Corsa" sure is pretty. What I saw was Ferrari's latest creation; an entry into the passenger car segment, and a touring to boot.

The newest from Maranello seems to look very much like a Volvo S70 wagon but there could be no mistaking it for a Ferrari. The 20 or so Ferrari shields, badges, and nameplates afixed to this red rocket boldly stated this marvel's pedigree. There was a large "Ferrari" adorning the top of the probably-F1 inspired roof spoiler. There was also a very large Scuderia Ferrari shield on the oddly unsporting looking steering wheel. The wheels each had a yellow Ferrari logo, each door handle had a small shield, the gas flap had a large shield as did each front fender. Just in case there was any ambiguity as this beast's origins, the license plate was "FUR R E" and was surrounded by a chrome Ferrari bracket and flanked by 4 other Ferrari decals. The model designation that the magicians of Maranello bestowed upon this most practical of Ferraris is the "F5 Turbo".

I greatly apologize for the poor quality of these exclusive spy shots but at least I have some pics otherwise you'd all think I was making it up. "A Ferrari wagon??? You're nucking futs!" Well I'm not "nucking futs" so there! :p

Enjoy the pics and I hope you don't too much from wanting one of these.
