Icon4 So, the SD43 is a break from tradition? We'll, Ferrari just one-upped Rolex
I was ready for this to be announced over three years ago due to market forces...

Ferrari to launch crossover in 2021

Undoubtably it'll be great. But also sad.

Yes they did. It was a monster in the 80's.

And there's is going to be a new one released in a year I believe. Based on the Bentley Bettayuga or whatever it's called.

That wasn't a crossover, that was a worthy high powered off road vehicle designed for the Arab market.

Crossovers are just weird.

SoCal is a no-go. It's just too expensive for an internship. Which isn't worth it.

no way. she's left a trail of teeth and broken bones all over socal.

many people are saying the rock painting is part of her anger management rehab, and part of a plea deal when she attacked a fellow CW for moving her Bergeon 1mm into as 1.5mm slot.

use google.

Well Lambo's LM wasn't a crossover but an actual suv meant to hit hard roads. Its really a beast i think they command about 600k now, dougie d reviewed one. I heard Lambo is working on a follow up though which will likely be a crossover.

With crossovers being the hottest segment of the car market everyone wants a piece... Porsche hit a homerun with the Macan
