I know it's a technical/performance marvel but I think the styling is LACKING. To me, it looks like a well engineered kit car IE Consouler.

How many people would think this car was cool if it didn't have the Ferrari badge attached to it? IMHO I think many would grimmace, laugh, scratch their heads if it weren't for the attached brand.

That being said I don't doubt it's a hoot to drive.

I agree with tkd. Not to start another W126 vs W140 vs W220 debate, but the Testarossa was the last Ferrari supercar to make my jaw drop further than it does with the F50 or Enzo. I wish they'd incorporate styling cues from the 50s Testa Rossa. The evolution of Lambo supercar styling continues to impress me. But I have a W140 so what do I know about style

I quite like the F550/F575...the styling brings back the GT days of Ferrari during the 50's and 60's..the Enzo is OK I guess...I agree, I never really liked the styling when I first saw it...but the picture posted in this thread, where u see the car from the side, is quite beautiful...I don't care much for the yellow though...I dunno what is the point of yellow cars...I guess the colour screams out and catches attention...that was originally why taxis were yellow...:p

I do like the 550/575 but I'm not a fan of the 360. I do think the 360 is interesting, but I find it to be "not Ferrari like" - similarly to how the newer MBZs are IMHO, straying from their "brand look." Instead of the 360 I think they should have evolved the 355.

There's a showroom in my nieghborhood that deals in both vintage and current exotics. They had a 575 right next to an old 246 Dino and next to the Dino, the 575 looked down right pedestrian!
