Which Ferrari has grown on you the most?

All these love/ hate threads going on... Which model has changed your mind? I've grown to love the 612, understated elegance to me. One of my favorites now. Didn't care for them new, but I'd love it now.

 

The FF.

 

I don't think algea has anything to do with it, but the 360. When it first came out, I thought it was stylistically a backward step from the 355 and a sideways step performance wise. Now I like it as much, if not more than, the 430 though still not as much as a 355. Most of the rest of the cars I've liked from the get-go.

 

458. Love at first sight and it's only gotten better. The ultimate car.

 

308 GT4 (Euro version)

 

+1

Hated it in the 80s. Now I appreciate it.

 

360

I hated it..HATED IT...when it debuted. Such a step down from the beauty of the 355.

But as years go by it grows on me. I dont love it now...but I dont hate it.

 

Was OK with it when I first saw it, but it grew on me very, very quickly. (It's an odd thing, as I tend to gravitate towards cars with curves.)

 

330 GT 2+2 series 1. The ones with the 4 headlights... Hated it when I first saw it, but that was because it was one in red, which I still think is the worst color on them. Now I quite like the car, especially in Argento.

I was never a fan of the GTC/4 but now it's growing on me.. The 400i too, I have grown to love.

 

308. thought it was BLAH, 70's car, magnum PI.. looked dated..

Now, I see the light... and the sexy wedge shape.

 

+308.

History will be kind to the 308GT4.

Esp the Dino version.

 

the 612.

 

i agree. it has in my opinion fast become a movie star as a result of the new models.

 

The 430 Scud. One is for-sale locally, somebody spent BIG MONEY to have everything visible in the engine compartment clad in Carbon Fiber a-la Enzo....compared to the 458 parked next to it, the thing is pure sex jewelry.

I have had recent experiences with a 400i 5-speed and a Mondial 8. True Ferrari style with a practical streak? Trunks AND back-seats? Each looks LOTS better than the FF, I don't care what motor the FF has.

 

the ff is starting to look less ugly to me

 

458 Italia series, the Spyder started to turn my opinion on the design and I am starting to like them more.

Still waiting to see if I will start to warm up to the 360/430 series too but I wouldn't count on it.

 

The Enzo.

I honestly thought it was hideous when it came out. Great technology and performance obviously, but I couldn't stand the look of it. Now I like it quite a bit, but it took a while for me to warm up to that design.

 

had a F355 F1 GTS when the 360 came out. It did not look like a Ferrari.

then it started to grow on me. I bought a spider in 2006. I love it more and more. One of the best looking Pininfarina Fcars ever made. Every time I go into the garage, I marvel at how great the lines are from every angle. I love the curvy voluptuous lines. It looks great looking over the hood while driving.

Life is good.
Life is better driving a Ferrari.

I Loved them all for different reasons and for representing different times in my life. In my 30's a new Red 328 GTSI and a Black 512 TR...Magnum/Miami Vice days. Mid egine fun in the curves and very tossable vs. a front engine 12 straight line power monster. A 599 GTB for its balance ,power,comfort and refinment great for dinners out and long drives. A Scud for the track happy portion of my life. Very capable,quick and raw. My curent 599 GTO. Just does everything well. Raw power, trackable , comfortable. A ferrari for all seasons. I love this one the most.

 

I was never a fan of the F50 when it came out. I thought it looked over styled and it never had the raw aggressiveness that was dripping from the F40.


Now i love the F50, its a design that was clearly way ahead of its time and me

 

+1. Will age much better than the 308GTB IMO.

It's the other way around for me.

The F50 was incredible to me; the F40 was outdated (this is when I was 12).

After having seen both in the flesh, and after having given each lots of thought, I still love the F50, but the maturity and rawness of the F40's design has been revealed exponentially to me over time.

 

458.

The styling was odd at first but once I saw one, I loved it. I still hate the standard wheels as they don't look as good as the forged sport wheels.

I hated the mustache looking rear end. I still want to see a better looking challenge grill vs the one offered. The front was a bit radical with the whiskers, it's not that noticeable in person.

 

Same here, re 612. For me, it may be due to their drop in price, esp for the 05s. If my car was lost to theft and i got good money for my car, i wonder what i would buy and the 612 has crossed my mine. The updated interior compared to my 360 is a major plus. But, theres nothing like driving a convertible Ferrari!

With its latest street car, Ferrari has again used a blowtorch of code-writing to loosen ... If you were a lizard, you'd think you'd grown a red tail.
