    Sorry I don't have a scanner, but there are photos of a new Ferrari in the lastest issue of Autoweek. Looks like a large Scag.

    That's what a wind tunnel will do for you. Pretty is no match for physics these days. I think Ferrari still does a better job then the others with functional aesthetics.

    It looks like a Viper morphed w/ a Vette to me. Yuck.

    Kudos to Ferrari, they are getting better at those fake panels. The car as shown takes on what many have described as "Viper" and "C5" - like. Underneath those panels are hidden curves and scoops, which won't know till they release it.

    Remember when the 360 first started appearing in pictures. LOTS of printed remarks about the less-then attractive front end. Once they drove it that was the last we heard about the looks.

    The age of plastic has not been kind to car design. I'm starting to think the 308-328-348-355 are a kind of a later golden age of Ferrari. I'd include the Testarossas in that group. Aerodynamics is shaving the last bit of character from cars.

    OTOH, this latest does look camouflaged, so I'll withhold final judgement till I see the real thing.
