You are not alone. I prefer the previous generations too...especially the 599.

 

Nope. You are not alone in this. I am not in love with the 458's styling. Still prefer the 360CS as the best execution overall of the 360/430 family.

I'm blanked over the FF. The 612 was a dead fish.

The entire styling direction has me scratching my head. I've seen better concepts of what a future F should be on the internet from independent design students.

 

I agree with you completely. What's up with the smiley face theme they have going on in the FF, Berlinetta, 458. And yes, the design students had some pretty neat ideas that should have been incorporated. Oh well.

I'll be waiting for the 458 Scud or the next generation as this current lineup doesn't do it for me.

 

I remember several years ago when a design student posted these as an example of what the 430 & Enzo successors would look like if under his design direction. Bear in mind, these were designed 6 years ago and even now they hold up extremely well. I would have commissioned an design feasability study of these two concepts had I been in charge at Ferrari.

 

What is so good about these? Look like Zonda rip offs to me...

 

True enough there are some Zonda design elements, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Have you seen the new Zonda Haurya or however you spell it.
It looks close to the F430 replacement this guy designed back in 2006 so he was definitely onto something with his design interpretation.

 

Maybe the FF, but I don't feel the new car looks anything like the BMW's. Actually, in the flesh, and in black, the FF is quite stunning.

 

the more i look at the pic i created the more i really think bangle is now dressed in red.
There is no denying that the FF or F12 are totally different animals as far as the performance or exclusivity is concerned, but hell, don`t tell me they didn`t look over to Munich when they created these 2 cars!
i mean even the wheels, some details and many of the characteristic lines are similar. it´s like a Z3 and Z4 on roids!

 

+1

i never thought of this but youre right

 

I hope I win the lottery this weekend so I can give away my Porsche and get one of these puppies

 

no love no hate...neutral.

 

Neutral? Cmon now.

 

 

Quick color adjustment with black roof.
I am sure that one model will be in this color :dizzy:

 

I think one of the Saudi playboys in London with more money than tastes like to paint all his cars that color.
