Hmm...don't think so:

This is the 40th Laforza ever built.

When you desire only the very best...there are few highline, ultra-luxury SUV's that command a presence like the exotic LAFORZA.

The Laforza has been often referred to as the "Ferrari" of SUV's.

The Laforza SUV is an extremely unique full-sized SUV. Like the American Hummer, this ultra-exotic SUV is an Italian military vehicle that has been meticulously refined with luxury appointments to please the most discriminating SUV buyer.

Vatican Police, European Red Cross, and the Italian Military rely on these vehicles to deliver reliable performance in any situation.

These rugged SUV's are built to such standards that they are used in mountainous terrain and dropped (with parachute) out of transport aircraft.
The Laforza is inexpensive to maintain it has a Ford 5.0 engine and transmission.

I don't get this line tough:

Here is it is folks a nice original Ferrari design Laforza.

I guess it's just a guy trying to get attention on the product by using the Ferrari name...

Laforza is a "solvent again - bankrupt again" SUV manufacturer that has come and gone a couple times since the mid 1980's.

From E-bay:
"The Laforza has been often referred to as the "Ferrari" of SUV's."

Read that line again.. and again.. and you'll se that it's not a ferrari.

Thats not a Ferrari, this is an ugly Fiat Uno (with "nicer" interior though, at least comparing to the ones here in Brazil)

Actually far from it - the truck itself was pretty robustly puropse constructed.

Ugly for sure, over priced no doubt, but a pretty robust expensive ugly truck

Ahhh, I remember seeing those for sale in the dupont registry a few years ago. Still remember the ad for those, they did call it the "Ferrari" of SUVs because it was made in the Pininfarina factory and is linked to Fiat.:roll:
It was ugly then, and it's still ugly now.

What a pos, good to thrash in the bush. I wonder if he was being a dick and knew it wasnt "ferrari designed", or was just a moron.
