    And thats the big problem, Ferrari shouldn't be fashionable and even less compared to the world of fashion design. Ferrari was best when they were "impractical", now they need to please trend, fashion and comfort.

    Before only motor heads, the true elite and a a few other folks had or talk about Ferraris, but now even tender men with feelings and teenage girls refer to them as casual as if talking about about the latest loser singer or posting pathetic crap on facebook.

    Funny that many people say that the F12 looks like an Alfa Romeo 8C.

    It´s true, but that´s because the 8C is a quite generic mixdown of a lot of cars from the 60s, including many Ferraris.

    I agree with you. The 8c is very pretty but slightly retro. The F12 looks modern to me. It seems more like a combination of art and science.

    Some may not like science in their cars but when you want a car that goes 210 MPH and 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds, you need some.

    By far a better looking car. Could have been a contenda.

    I am going to see the F12 live two days from now. The car's performance is great (a 599XX inside...?) but I have similar issues with the design as with the FF. The back is slightly improved but I would not call it beautiful (which is one of Luca's main objectives with each new car).

    I have to admit that after seeing the photos today on auto blog I'm starting to change my mind. The shots they have really illustrate it curvy surface better.

    I still don't care for the massive smiley face grill but those shots have me liking the form. Especially the front 3/4.

    An overrated design. Way too chubby.

    I feel like ´being done´ with the 8C design. Still a beautiful car, but I miss the visual excitement. Plus, you could argue the proportions aren´t that perfect.

    F12, in my eyes is one of the most beautiful cars ever.
    I like that side line, and I hope that Ferrari will use it often in the future. It looks cool and it is useful.
    Something like this maybe :)))
