What happened to the cool Ferrari's like the TestaRossa back in the day?

IMO, Lambourghini is kicking Ferrari's butt in styling!


Then again, I've always perferred Lambo to Ferrari, so maybe I'm biased.

Yea that just doesn't look like a Ferrari to me. I was never a big fan of the 456GT but it still looked like a Ferrari. Seems that Pininferina is trying a new direction in Ferrari styling. I love the 360 Modena and 550 Maranello/575M heck even the Enzo has some good angles. This one does nothing for me. It's ok because I'll never buy one!

It looks more TVR-esque than porschesque.
Far more TVR in that car, and I wonder why. These are Ferrari's grand touring cars. They are supposed to compete with TVR, high end Benz, the new Bently Continental GT and similar GT vehicles.

Ferrari already HAS a porsche competitor, the 360/upcoming 400.

Different car, different image, different purpose.

It's just too plain for a Ferrari. The Maranello was pretty reserved, but still a gorgeous car, and definitely a Ferrari. This is a step in the wrong direction styling wise..

I love Ferraris, but this one looks to out of touch with tradition. Maybe this is their goal, but I'm not a huge fan of it. I guess the people who can afford it will.
