FYI - that picture is the 612.

The F149 will be the direct competitor to the SL, DB9 and Turbo something that the 430 isn't really up against.

Wait, what? Arn't these exactly the models that the 599 competes directly against?

I see where you're getting at, and I do agree with you: the F149 is redundant. And yes, quite frankly, its only going to be a rebranded Maserati for 2x the price I guess Porsche strategy is finally making its way to Ferrari

I guess Ferrari is trying to make a true everyday GT, which is smaller and less expensive than a 599, but with the added functionality of a folding hard-top.

Not sure I do, the 599 competes with the Murcielago and the DBS. Completely different price area.
