    The "facts" that someone made up on autoblog are funny "0-100 in 8.3 seconds". So its over a second slower to 100mph than a 599GTB even though it has 130 horsepower more and an extra gear? right......

    I'm with you.

    Looks like the new Viper which I guess isn't surprising.

    a Ferrari that looks like a Viper....ehm that's not a good thing a guess....

    I'm not feeling the car...a rather strange remix of lines...must see the official pics first to have a clear view and decide though...

    Wow. I just googled the new Viper and I like the Viper more than this car. So a Ferrari 620 that looks like a Viper. At least I like the 458 Italia and hold some degree of hope that the Scuderia/Stradale version of that will rock.

    Looks like the FF and the 458 "got busy" and this is the fruits of their labor.

    Actually, I like it. It's definite "musclecar-y"

    If that's the actual look of the car, I like it. Of course most GT type cars have some similar styling, but concerning it looking like the new Viper, ah no.

    Ha. And usually people complain when they go off the reservation styling wise... I agree though this is a very "safe" design for them. I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes though.. and I do like it a lot. If you want extreem lines, buy a Lambo.

    More like Flavio Manzoni got a bad case of 'Lamborghini-itis' during the time he spent at VW.

    Another new Ferrari that looks like a Viper? We keep hearing the same thing over and over again every time a new Ferrari comes out. From the first renderings and pictures, the 599 also looked like a Viper and Vette and let's face it, they look nothing alike.

    What a surprise!
    The same characters as always before (599,458,550,etc,etc),proclaim their hate of a new Ferrari,before even seeing the real,confirmed thing.
    You guys are boring......

    Psychologically speaking, people are usually most critical of things they are passionate about and hold in high regard.

    If Hyundai showed this spy pic we would all be raving about it because we have pretty low expectations.

    However, our expectations for Ferrari are much higher than anything else so if they want us to sit up and clap it better be absolutely stunning.

    I think its a cool looking car. I think the 458 is a cool looking car. So is the FF and Cali.

    But none of them make my jaw drop to the table and heart pound with desire the way the 355 or TR did when they first came out.

    Maybe its an age thing. Maybe I cant get excited anymore...but then I remember hwo freaking cool I find the Aventador...so yes, I can get excited. I just dont seem to get excited about Ferraris designs.

    So no 'hate' here. Mostly ambivalence. Im sure once Im in one and the engine is screaming and the scent of the leather hits me I will drool over it...just like the 458 I was in recently. But aesthetically...meh

    It's funny; all we've seen is a small, low-resolution image of a wooden F152 but some people are writing it off already. It's boring, it's generic, it looks like a Cali, a Viper, a Hyundai...

    The same thing happened when the first pictures of the FF surfaced - a lot of people suddenly had a new found appreciation for the 612, widely regarded as the most unattractive Ferrari in recent history. Now, we've seen one small picture of the F152 and have a vague idea of how it's going to look - why wait for official pictures? Let's start bashing it now. I'm waiting for a couple of 599 owners to chime in and tell us that they're not impressed with the F152 and they'll be keeping their cars for the foreseeable future.

    It's the same story every time a new Ferrari is introduced, it just kicked off a little earlier than usual this time. Give it a few weeks - the same people that were bashing the car today will be calling their dealers asking how they can get their hands on one.
