    Ok, so for decades the front engined Ferraris "looked like Corvettes", and now that Corvettes are mid engined, the mid engined Ferraris "look like Camaros".

    This game is getting more difficult every year.

    Lots of funny comments in this thread. I actually saw a 296 recently in person and I stand corrected - it is a beautiful car that does not look like a Camaro (for the most part).

    So you posted this thread without ever seeing a 296 in person??? And you still don’t think that was trolling!?

    I had seen a 296 in person before but didn’t pay much attention to it. This time I paid more attention and I do like the looks. Not as much as the SF90 or other models but it’s growing on me. Trolling was not my intention.

    I once walked by Meghan Fox but didn't pay much attention to her. Until I really paid attention I couldn't tell her apart from Lizzo .

    The 296 is a very nice “sports car” look. It’s not the exotic/super car look of the line it replaces. It obviously got “caymaned”, because it couldn’t be too close to the sf90. They needed to keep an apparent hierarchy.

    It is straight gas lighting of any person that had seen a 296 up close . Now the poster is attempting to walk back his starting of this thread .

    When will parents get serious about monitoring device use ?

    I once thought a Peter Luger steak tasted just like chicken. Now granted, I only briefly looked at the steak and never tasted it. However, I recently tasted it and it’s growing on me and doesn’t taste anything like chicken.

    What a waste of internet pixels, the guy trolled everyone without ever seeing a 296 LOL not as bad as when I was given driving impression by a guy who later admitted that he's never driven that particular car hahaha

    The previous generations were definitley more agressive looking, the 296 is more modern. Some people love it, some dont. I prefer the older style but appreciate the moderness as well.
