I totally agree. I really wasnt feeling when I first saw pictures. But I was lucky enough to see one in person while in Conn. last summer. It looks outstanding in person. Personally I think one of there better designs since the F355(but I'mn sure many will disagree with that statement) Classic Ferrari without all the scoops and angles that have become common on modern F-cars(F430, Enzo, and the new 599 etc). I'd definitely take one in a heartbeat.

I haven't seen one in person yet, but I doubt I'll ever like it nearly as much as the other more recent Ferrari designs, particularly the F355/360/430, it still doesn't look attractive to me, but then I don't even like the Enzo too much except in black . . .

I absolutely love this car - saw it in person last January at the Detriot autoshow and instantly fell in love with it.

I like it because it has a retro, organic, very clean look to it. Classy, understated and elegant.

I don't particularly like it in black, but in blue, green and silver, it just looks plain awesome.

However the only drawback to owing a 4 seater Ferrarri is that it will suffer a major depreciation hit over the course of its life unlike the conventional 2 seater Ferrarri's. But that does not concern me as I can't buy one anytime soon anyway.

This one actually looks pretty good.
I think it has a lot to do with the wheels and colour.

The single BEST thing that can be done to this car! This vehicle is so pricey and rare that no one (heretofore) has manufactured a coilover suspension for it. It looks SOO much better at that stance, and I also agree that black is a good color for this platform.

I saw one in the Village (NYC) last summer and the thing that really amazed me with the overall size!! I was in the GS and the driver was about equal height (or HIGHER) than me! Its also very wide, I would personally prefer it with larger wheels, perhaps 20" or stretch the envelope and go 21's

Ferrais used to be beautiful. Now with the help of the computer, they are turning into blah, .This looks better but guess what, ANY car with a drop and bigger wheels does.

This car is just ungainly, the proportions are all wrong.
