I agree. I love the lines of the 360 and 430 - the front fascias of course has traces of the "sharknose" F1 cars of long ago and isthe only feature I don't like (I'd prefer a class egg-crate grill) but in profile and from every other angle they are gorgeous, with features "stolen" from the 250LM and P330s - cars I admired and dreamed about when younger. The styling of the Italia is more like the Evo (not surprising, I suppose) and in profile seems to be mimicing modern LMPs and F1 cars a bit, with a bit too much "Lamborghini bling" thrown in. The center exhaust, particularly with the three tailpipes, seems very contrived (it might make sense on a V12, but a V8?), and the headlights are just way too wild for me, almost like drawn by a manga artist.

Still, I would love to have the direct injection V8.

SSIIICK is infamous around these parts
The one you spotted in Boca Raton is actually a Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale car. The person you see talking to the valet is the owner of Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale. Very cool guy. Good friend of mine.
