Ferrari SUV!!?
A Laforza? in Vegas(naturally), Ferrari yellow, plenty of Ferrari symbols on it(sides as well as front & back), lots of ground clearance, looked like lots of interior room, but that maybe because the young(20's) couple in it were small - looked interesting - boxy shape with rounded edges - have not looked it up yet on the internet - anyone know about this?

I know who owns the Laforza in Vegas. It is ugly, but their garage is nothing short of stunning.

I saw a (or maybe the) yellow Laforza in Vegas in late May this year.

I remember seeing those pop up in Dupont Registry once and a while. I also thought they were a kit car.

I remember seeing the newly introduced LaForza at the '87-'88 LA Auto Show and having to fight throught the crowd to catch a glimpse. It was easily the most attractive and luxurious SUV of its time and equipped with a V8 to boot, at time when mainstream SUV's were still truck-based and very utilitarian at the time.

Despite some glowing reviews in the car magazines, the La Forza had serious quality control issues resulting in financially debilitating recalls and ultimately, the company went under. It was an extremely good looking vehicle back then (especially the interior), but it looks quite dated by 2007 car design standards.
