Re: fastest grocery go-getters



I don't remember any wagons from Ferrari.  They had the 400i/412i, a
'4-seater' (ie 2+small 2) that is the precursor to the current 512GTA (not
sure of the nomenclature here).  Aside from one-offs from Pinninfarina,
Bertone etc, I don't think a wagon left the factory.

Just my $.02 ... probably only worth  $.01
