Agreed, aside from the taillights, I like it and think it is the best looking Ferrari currently available. Although that isn't saying much since the rest of the line up is bland at best. Brillant to drive, sure, but they haven't been pretty for some time now.

Actually I can see some styling cues with the old one, but they don't work on the new model. I wouldn't say its ugly but it doesn't have the "WOW" of most Ferrari's

The exhaust tips are fake, like on a Lexi XF. The real exhausts are further back and tiny.

I'll never own a car with fake exhaust tips.
