Doesn't look particularly luxurious, actually, it's downright eclipsed by the 612's level of refinement, so...moneygrab by way of bringing back an earlier designation.
(The '60s Lusso indeed offered more comfort and amenities than models its contemporary.)
I like the simplicity of the interior, not to complicated

I personally find it more complicated than the 612, with greater separation between the padded leather and brushed metal (look) bits--the 612 has a distinct bar bisecting the upper and lower dash sections, with vents emerging from it--and the GTC4 appears far more boy-racery than a luxury GT ought to.

So this is basically the facelifted FF then. Shouldn't this go in the FF thread?

From what i see its basically a facelift, with a new name.

@TexRex I wouldn't call this an improvement over the FF's interior, which I'd say is still the best 2+2 Ferrari interior since the 456M even with its pointless dual cockpit display. And it's even more obtrusive in the Lusso since it's been developed into a larger G-Force meter/speedometer on the passenger-side dash along with the sizeable central screen.
The exterior on the other hand looks a lot cleaner with the exception of the rear splitter, though the entire rear is a substantial improvement with its well-integrated quad tail-lights rather than the comparatively goofy protruding pair on the FF. New fender vents could be a little less aggressive (they're more of a throwback to the 275 than the prettier 250 Lusso), but they do lend well to this modern Ferrari GT shape.
If I had to point out one issue I have that's been a recurring theme since the F12berlinetta, it's the 'nogapsallowed' official naming format Ferrari's been eager to employ lately.

It's a facelift in the same way that a F355 was a facelift of the 348 or the F430 was a face lifted 360 Modena. etc.
Or, you know, 488 is the facelifted 458.
They done this every 5 years. Its their culture.

Exactly, This simply isnt the same model. Its not like the 2016 FIAT 500 with the new face lift which is the same model as the outgoing model.

I already liked the FF, but to my eyes this looks slightly better from pretty much any angle (and that isn't something I can say about all of Ferrari's mid-lift refreshes). It might just be my favourite of the current crop of Ferraris.

They could've made the front more attractive at least...

Considering the FF blows the 612 out of the water in that mark this would be even further, pictures don't describe much.

Also looks like this will be the first Ferrari with a modern Centre console.

Yeah, the back is a massive improvement but the front still looks awkward. They have barely done anything to it.

The car's flanks are the biggest improvement for me - looks much more athletic now, where it was a bit barrel-sided before.

Ferrari really missed the mark with the tagline in the top image. Aladdin is the wrong Disney movie to associate this with. I was really counting on a Little Mermaid reference, given the fish-like front end and those gills on the side.

Cool car, stupid name. Something about Ferrari using names with no spaces bothers me more than it should.

Yay! It's a return to quad round taillights instead of dual round taillights!

New entry level GTC4Lusso T gains the California's twin turbo V8 boosted to 600hp and adopts RWD.

Interesting. When was the last time Ferrari offered two separate engines for the same car? Certainly not in the modern era.

I believe never. This one is also the first time Ferrari has ever put a front-engined V8 in a fixed-roof car.

To be fair, the California T has dated quite quickly and even though I think it looks much better than the original, the design has grown tired much quicker than say an F12 or 488 ever will. That's the downside of a "safe" design I guess.
I just think the original California and FF looked "odd"... I just don't know that I could spend that much money on a car and have to continually convince myself that I like the look of it

Closest I could think of is the 208/308. Essentially the same car but the 208t had less displacement and a turbo. 208 wasn't offered in every market either.
