Seriously, if they were to name a sport ute the 507, would it really cause you to lose sleep? Who cares? It's an alphanumeric name from a brand with limited heritage. Ferrari will slap the GTO badge on all sorts of rubbish and people don't put up the fight that the M1 seems to get.

You didn't look up the original 328, did you?
If a new 507 would follow same characteristics as the old one, a roadster, it would be fine for me.

I don't follow Ferrari very closely, but Ferrari only put the GTO moniker on 250, 288, & 599 right?
The 250 GTO & 288's GTO were used in FIA Races correct? And the 599 GTO is Ferrari's fastest road car ever?
Not sure how Ferrari is putting GTO badge on random cars?

The old 328 has no I/Ci in the name.

No matter how much we argue no one will give in because we have different opinions
