Dal sito wwfimola.freeweb.org: Abbiamo scritto una lettera aperta a tutti i componenti la Giunta Comunale di Imola per ribadire ancora una volta le nostre posizioni di buonsenso sulla progettata Bretella della Pedagna.
Per il Comitato “Imola viva” quindi è soprattutto il potenziamento dei servizi in Pedagna, (asili nido, scuole materne, scuola media, trasporti pubblici, collegamenti con le aziende della zona industriale, biblioteca, piscina, ecc.) la scelta da privilegiare.
Il Comitato "Imola Viva" valuta positivamente la posizione espressa da una parte della maggioranza che riconosce la necessità di evitare che il regolamento sui Referendum Consultivi Comunali escluda a priori un'eventuale referendum sulla bretella.

The 600 Imola should improve handling and stability over the 575M thanks to its longer length and vastly superior engine — indeed, the Imola will field a retuned version of the Scaglietti's V12 that will increase the displacement of its platform mate's engine from 5.75 to 6.0 liters.
Expect the Ferrari 600 Imola to debut at either the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January or at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
The Imola is based on a shortened version of the 612 Scaglietti platform but will likely be a much sportier vehicle overall.
