    I'm with you. I don't like the look of the car. It looks like they are trying to hard to change the brand subtly but change it nonetheless.

    If you recall the original pictures of the 360, especially from the front, the car just didn't look right. Tires weren't right, front brake pods were clumsy, front lower wing not there. Then some aftermarket guys improved the front,, and we got the 430, which is an evolved view of the 360. I think Ferrari should evolve this design before building it. It is not a finished product, yet.

    Ugh. I think this new design just made the 599 a classic and increased its value...at least IMHO.

    I agree with the poster that said the rendering looks like a mish-mash of 458/FF/Cali parts stuck together.

    I hope that's not the final styling. I totally agree with you.

    That's what everyone said about the 599 in relation to the 575

    I have to agree, in uk it is the same. I love the 599 , need the boot space for some journeys , but you have to think about where you park and leave it. Having said that the 458 is also a wide car.

    The new car will be very sporty , more 458 than ff , 720 bhp rumoured. big jump in price too.

    599 will be seen as one of the great cars of its time , and is still a wonderful car. New car as ever will improve in every area , think 430 to 458.

    personally 458 and 599 are as quick as any road car I want in the uk , and I still miss my 430 Spyder for fun , and if I think what relative prices are now , 430 and 599 are fantastic value for what they provide on a cost vs fun and desirability basis.

    I dont think the rendering looks too bad but the final product may differ I hope in some respects, perhaps be more aggressive. Whats going to be interesting is to see wat the rear of the car looks like, round like the 599 or more angular.

    Can't wait for the presentation. I agree Max, I think this is the last pics prior to the presentation as well.

    This is just silly and gets boring.
    Every time new (heavily camouflaged) Ferrari is spotted ,we get here the same old,washed out comments,ugly,older model is better,etc,etc.
    No one has seen the finished product yet so these comments are utterly pointless.
    Not long ago 550s were considered a heresy by TR owners and enthusiasts,599 was compared to Supra,etc....
    Regardless,this car will be sold out before even hitting the showrooms,will command high premiums in the first year or two,will be considered the work of art and it's buyers will certainly not cross shopping it with the 599,much less 575....

    true... but i still think the 550/575 are much prettier cars than the 599's....
