FF: first driving experience

The Daytona was at first deemed a huge mistake. People naturally thrive on sensationalism

 

The Daytona is still not as nice looking as the 275 it replaced. Everything is relative depending on how you look at it.

It's easy to pick on a design when it's in it's infancy. Great designs stand the test of time and often don't shine at the moment of birth. Just ask all the artists who starved to death only to see their works sell for millions later.

 

Ah, I see. My mistake...

But you know, sometimes some things are just plain ugly.

 

People thrive on sensationalism

 

Do you have a position other than simply trying to be dismissive?

 

Like your quote above?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - it is not absolute. If we all had exactly the same taste it would be a very boring world!

 

Actually it is taste that is in the eye of the beholder while beauty can be expressed in absolutes which why we have things like the golden ratio and the like.

 

Well then you can rely on your "scientists" telling you what should be technically beautiful and I will make my own decisions for myself

 

SO ... a woman is only truly "beautiful" if everyone person on the planet finds her beautiful? Or, have we all been mis-using the term "beautiful" (for generations, i might add) when describing women? Seems to me those are your only two options ...

Seriously ... is everyone who finds the 2-D internet images of the FF "ugly" (or, any other negative descriptor that you care to use) so damn insecure in their tastes and opinions, that they must harbor the firm conviction that all MUST share their view?

 

Lesia- Try and describe a beautiful sunset in scientific terms. Believe you are full of crap.

Not once have I said that "all MUST share my view". Further, I'd suggest it is the insecure who take the discordant voice almost as a personal insult. Please, in future read what people have actually written.

 

Dear me, we are a touchy bunch over here...

 

Please follow your own advice ... and show me where i took your opinions as a "personal insult".

You're projecting your insecurities, my friend

 

Good on you Taz, could not have put it better myself !

 

Two posts, both containing insults. Need I say more?

 

Fantastic.

 

ummm ... yeah, if you plan to defend the things you've written!

Let's try again, shall we :

- do you agree that your opinion of the FF is just that ... a subjective, personal matter of taste? Or, is your opinion somehow more "universal", like the beauty of the golden ratio (your reference, not mine)?

- still waiting for you to show me where i've taken the things you've written as a "personal insult" (not to be confused, of course, with your apparent feelings of being insulted with the things i've written).

 

You clearly want to fight. Sorry, not interested.

 

Move along Lesia. Nothing to see here.

Yes, I intend to. The shouting has started so I doubt we'll get very far.

 

hmm, and it started just with a discussion about the right color ;-)

 

Hey guys, I loved it. I think that it is going to change Ferrari is a way unlike any previous model. It is an interesting time for Maranello to get into the FF in the way it did, and the GDI V12 is staggering. It so exceeded my expectations. Anyway, I've got the article in print and lots of images... here:

* This is the only Ferrari forum I am on, so if any of you would like to paste the article up on any other forums you are part of, please don't hesitate to do so! You'd be helping me to spread my FF message!

Thanks!

 

ok, cool. But even if you did succeed in arguing in objective, scientific terms why the FF is ugly, it is a simply fact that I think it looks gorgeous. So what does that say about my taste?

 

It simply says that tastes are different and that is a good thing

Nice article, good writing and the car through the eye of your camera (Pages 3 & 4) makes the FF looks better than it really is!

Greetz,
