It's an ugly mofo, but I want one!

Such a disappointment - the styling is so hugely comprised by that folding metal roof. The rear is hideous.

I like it, although, hopefully all the posers will fall for this, while the real men can have the proper Ferraris.

JohnnyRacer · July 19th, 2008, 06:03 AM

^I have to agree. This is the Ferrari you give your wife while you take the 430 Scuderia out.

BlaRo · July 19th, 2008, 06:15 AM

I like it! It's a bit weird from some directions, but I can't wait to see it out on the road. I imagine it'd look much better in person (some cars just have that attribute).

Still would get an 8C over this anyway.

JohnnyRacer: just save both yourself and us some trouble and link to the gallery instead of posting nearly 70 images. Plus not everyone is on super fast Internet (i.e. me) and would still like to view this thread.

Nice, its a Ferrari SC430

K. Thought this would be easier because a lot of people are lazy.

DTMracer · July 19th, 2008, 07:08 AM

Still too ugly to be called a Ferrari. I'd be impressed if this was a Hyundai.

Wizegui · July 19th, 2008, 07:46 AM

It's not like the F430 is a svelte beauty either, but this is just bland and in some angles hideous.

It isn't easier when you're stuck on 1.5mbit and this thread takes 5 minutes to load.

And even those on faster connections may not want to scroll through that many photos.

Looks like a Corvette C6, only uglier.

Andrewticus · July 19th, 2008, 11:03 AM

You know, Ferrari is actually making a hybrid version of their car. Speculators are suggesting the California will likely be the model.

Who the hell signed off on those small ass rear rims? That looks retarded..

M3_Powered · July 19th, 2008, 01:16 PM

I've not been sure If i like the look of this car for some time now. But I've come to the conclusion that I don't like it.

TopGearDog · July 19th, 2008, 03:37 PM

I agree on the small rims at the back, but still, i think from the side it looks fantastic. I also think the exhaust works out well, way better then on that Lexus.

Vette Boss · July 19th, 2008, 03:50 PM

A Ferrari with comfort mode? Blasphemy!

Gatecrasher · July 19th, 2008, 04:31 PM

Its quite nice from the side, I even like the front. Back? Meh. Interior? No thanks.
