    You should put a giant card on it when they deliver it to your wife saying:

    "Your Ferrari is red,

    my Porsches are blue,

    sugar is sweet,

    and so are you!"

    I have barely ever heard him say anything negative other than his recent tiff with McLaren ... where he seems to have kissed and made up subsequently.

    In some languages terrific translates to terrible, awful, dreadful,

    Probably because some languages imported first the word “terrifiant” from French.

    Re: Ferrari Roma

    indeed, I think the poster mixed terrific and terrorific which are different in English, in spanish for example we don't have a version of terrific, only have terrorific, so if you read terrific you may associate it with terrorific instead.

    Haha!

    Could it reach the off road pinnacle, the 911?  And it does have rear "seats"......Smiley

    Let's pray it doesn't provide the only Roma canine ambulance, but it will be ready. 

    Expected long runs to pick up the next puppy!!

    Terrific is used in the correct context here...I think.

    Certainly reads that way to me.  He wrote 2 positive things and then followed up with the exhaust comment with 'too'.  That wouldn't make any sense if it was negative.

    Re: Ferrari Roma

    Not one of Harry's better efforts as he gets quite a lot of info about the car wrong. There is a volume control scroll type wheel on the steering wheel for example. I suspect he is also activating the voice control system because of how he is holding the steering wheel and is touching the pad on the spoke that activates this function without realising he is doing it.

    You can see the icon for the voice control activation on the left spoke of the wheel in this photo. The volume control is the little scroll wheel beneath the spoke and above the headlight dip button.

    What's wrong with having volume knob on the dash?

    My Taycan doesn't have one and I would have paid a $10k option just to have one on the dash.

    Your Taycan doesn't have any knobs because the future, evidently, is no longer tactile and real.

    I meant no physical knob on the dash, only with touch screen. But as ISUK explained, there is one on the steering wheel, so my criticism was invalid 👍🏼

    Re: Ferrari Roma

    I just found a review of the car by Doug DeMuro for anyone interested in this car. It's around 4 months since I had my brief 45 minute drive in one of the factory early production test fleet cars and it seems the volume control is on the rear of the steering wheel. I certainly recall adjusting the volume on the wheel so it must have been via the roller control on the back. The other icons on the spokes only activate as you touch the relevant section of the wheel which I now vaguely recall as well. My car has completed build and is awaiting delivery to my dealer so I should have it in a few weeks.

    Re: Ferrari Roma

    Touch pads on the centre console are bad enough, but tiny touch pads on a steering wheel which itself is moving, just seems nonsensical.  Not just Ferrari, Mercedes now has this "feature " in new E class for example.

    Saw this yesterday too, much better info than on Harry's. Can't wait to hear your impressions and see pics when you take delivery. I for one love the idea and the looks of the Roma.
