    I think the TR is going to go down as one of, if not the single most beautiful Ferraris of all time.

    The 456 maybe one of the best Pininfarina-works. Great looking car, not flashy but classy!

    So its all a matter of taste!

    The bashed Testarossa is a Ferrari-Icon and will stay one forever.

    Even the F40 can be considered ugly - but who would not want one?

    Replica's have evolved from the days of the "Testavette" and "Fierorossa" to the days of the Toyota 355, 360 and F-430. Some of those kits offer better options than an original ferrari, who wouldn't want a 355 based MR2 with a well known engine for tuning, reliablity and performance? It beats the hell out of buying a real 308, 328, 348 and mondial for cheap thrills. It's a "Why not?" ;)



    More people now adays are swapping in Toyota motors into these cars but I don't see why they should be discounted for having a different engine swapped in when the real Ferrari motor's often give troubles and if there's a leak there goes your wallet. :D At least with an LT1 I could do the oil change right in my own garage for $30 vs taking it to the dealer and pay only god knows what.

    This will go down as one of the ugliest cars in history and certainly the ugliest Fcar ever made.

    Ugh.

    Not only another thread about which cars are ugly . . but another "Ugly Ferraris" thread to which bdelp took almost immediate exception. (Hiya, Bob. . . :D)

    I am going to say that I love 308s, especially 308 GTBs. If anyone cares.

    I am NOT going to say which Ferraris are, ahem, not my favorites in the looks department. I already did. I don't know why. I don't see, now, what's the point. You can look it up if you care, but I have a feeling that nobody does.

    This will be my last statement EVER on f-chat regarding which cars I find aesthetically pleasing or otherwise.

    612 was before my time.* I would not buy one but it has grown on me looks wise. Remember, I am a mid-engined top down kinda guy. ;)

    *Before I really started paying attention to modern Fcars.

    Even if something is "ugly" now it most likely won't be in the future. If something is "beautiful" today it most likely won't be in the future... until you wait for a little bit further into the future.

    Ugly is beautiful (to some). Hence SOMEBODY buys the Cube. ;)

    +1 PAP. My first Ferrari, had to have a 308 GTS in blue. My second Ferrari had to have a 348 color didn't much matter. Wound up with Rosa Corsa. And the 2+2 cars, I actually like the styling I simply don't care to own one. :)
