The ghibli looks sportier but i dont see why they would make two 4 door saloons and try to sell them. I think its stupid. they are a sports car company not BMW or Mercedes

They want to increase their sales. Companies are allowed to have more than one four door car; they're simply expanding their market. The Ghibli is half the price of the Quattroporte, and I think I'm right in saying that it is about a foot shorter in size comparison. The Quattroporte is the size of a BMW 7 Series now, while the Ghibli is the size of a 5 Series. The Ghibli is meant to be a sportier, better handling car, while the Quattroporte is more for being a large luxury barge but it still handles well. Saying that they having two similar bodystyles is entirely irrelevant. That's like saying Ferrari is stupid to have the FF and the California, because they're both two door, four seaters (taking the convertible part out of the picture).

I see your point but and i agree now that i know more about the car. I dont know why people hate the FF. I think it really brought back the shooting brake. I dont like the california too much and i think it should have been a maserati instead of a ferrari.

I dislike the FF because it is four wheel drive (unnatural for a Ferrari), and the styling is rubbish. Yes, it did bring back the shooting brake, but they did an awful job of it. Maserati already has the GranCabrio, which isn't too different from a California.

I think ferrari was trying to compete with other luxury cars like bentley by making it a 4 wheel drive sports car. I personally dont mind the 4 wheel drive because i live in colorado and it would be great to drive your FF in the snow. Also did you know that the california is the most aerodynamic car ferrari ever built?

A couple weeks ago I was staying at this hotel in Scotts Valley (Santa Cruz). I found out that this dealer called Canepa is a few minutes away from the hotel I was at. Pretty cool stuff:

...And also at Canepa...

This is Bugatti Veyron No. 005, the first Veyron in the USA. It was also used as a show car (at the New York show I think). In fact, it's the first Google image result for "Bugatti Veyron":

It's amazing in person:

The other day, my friend sent me a pic of a McLaren P1 and told me it was at McLaren San Francisco. So I went down there to see it and IT'S AMAZING!

Also I asked the guy working there if this actual car would be at Car Week, and he said yes!
