Ferrari FF, More Muscular VX???

[blacksambo]

Oh, isn't that a Lancia?

[blacksambo]

It costs a lot more than that!

[JoFotoz]

Reliant Scimitar GTE it is!...

...and very similar to the Lancia HPE too.

Both are cars my old man had back in the UK..
........he had a good eye IMO!

I want some of what you are smoking, sambo. As an opine, you are waaaaay off the mark and reaching for a similarity that does not exist in the slightest. This is not an all-terrain vehicle just because it can drift on snowy/icy roads. This car, to me, is basically a California hatchback with AWD. They should have called it the Colorado... oh wait, taken. OOH! How bout the Ferrari Fargo!

I do like the looks of it tho and it would no doubt be fun to drive!

[JoFotoz]

Yup...I agree.

yer trippin
yup....they both have 4 wheels.
It ends there
Holy Mackeral

Granted it can't climb rocks (no ground clearence), but everything else you need to win Paris-Dakar is in place. And that' s what Isuzu wanted way back when????

[blacksambo]

I don't think I will have to. I think Ferrari Factory is headed straight to Dakar.

I think there's a big difference between chasing the same goal and copy-catting someone else's design. I agree that Ferrari and Isuzu had many of the same capability goals in mind when they sat down in their respective design rooms and that some of the design solutions they developed are alike, but that's really where the similarities end. The FF represents a car manufacturer's solution to the problem, whereas the VX represents a truck and SUV manufacturer's solution to the same problem.

Correlation does not imply causation - just because the FF and VX designs contain similar technologies does not mean that one is a copy, imitation, or mimic of the other.

[blacksambo]

Correction. At the time the VX was on the drawing boards, Isuzu was a major "car" manufacturer. In fact, the Isuzu Belgian office was soley focused on "car design work. Also, Simon Cox the VX's lead designer had just come from Lotus "cars". If Mack Truck had designed the VX I'd agree with you, but the VX was designed as a car first and later dropped on a two door Trooper frame. Notice the VX prototype had wheels pushed to the corners just cars today like the Ford Edge, and now the Ferrari FF. This may be hard to swallow but the VX is more car than truck and that's why it was called a Vehi....Cross, or cross between a car and a SUV.

Words I'd never thought I'd utter in this life: "Damn, that's an ugly Ferrari."
