    Found the review in drive "ethnic group" (replace by appropriate synonym to get it :)
    Some of the comments are in line with my own experience (and feeling), some other not...
    My own summary would be:
    - the shape is dramatic
    - the engine is impressive (you'd never believe it has less power then a 360 Modena, for instance), and the gearbox is a pleasure to use
    - pretty much all the rest is terrible (brakes, roadholding, build quality...)

    It's definitely not a sport car, but its width is not a convincing excuse; a 488 is "narrower" by less than 3 cm (which is only slightly more than one inch for non-metric folks).
