Nw Fezza Portofino

Post by john-e89 » Sat Feb 10, 2018 9:30 am

Bonjourno,

The California T, a cracking roady and a big step up from its predecessor is to be replaced with the Portofino, another hugely desirable roady with a front engine and rear wheel drive configuration again. No doubt it’ll be a stormer but personally I’m not sure on the styling, to me it’s trying just a bit too hard, looks slightly messy. Obviously I’d have one in a heartbeat though..... :lol:

Anyone have any views?

Lovely motor although smacks more of your Californian barbie doll than your average Englishman in Peckham.

Much as I'm hooked on the Fezza brand. I don't like that one so much. :o Looks positively porky to me. :cry: Of course if your offering one I'll take it. :wink:

Looks quite good with the roof up. Give me a 570S Spider any day over this though.
