    Know what you mean...looks like the ass comes in much shorter; hopefully the rear is bold, distinctive and bad-ass: no afterthought 612 rear please and no Enzo-ish rocket lights either.

    its a test mule, of course its going to look like the 612. they ensure that the new styling is not readily apparent

    i just hope that they make the rear deck assembly on the 600 stylistically not similar to the 612 or 430. i think that they should steer clear of that look to really distinguish the 612 from the 575 replacement...

    That car looks like a whale.....I know it's only a test mule but I hope the final product looks highly different than a 612 stepchild

    It looks like what the 612 should have looked like (more flowing lines) but definately NOT what the 575 replacement should look like.

    I guess there are some great lines flowing together.

    Still, the car seems VERY big, compared to the already quite hefty 550/575.
    Sometimes i regret the small footprint of the 993. So small but still capable of so high speeds.
    I just loved it for being so tiny, you just felt everything was wrapped around you.

    No it looks a lot worse than that. looks like a giant Lexus, Hmmm & the 612 reminds me of a Giant Camry. Wouldnt have anything to do with a Japanese Designer would it ?

    Ferrari needs to hire Fioravanti because their current designer sux.

    The 550/575 is a masterpiece compared to this bloated, peanut headlight having thing

    I bet next April 1st Ferrari will put out a press statement stating something to the effect of: "Dear customers, we appreciate your business as always and are glad you were receptive of the 612 Scaglietti & 600 Imola designs, but APRIL FOOLS!" ...or at least I hope these designs are in jest. :(

    Ugh. This will be good for the values of existing Maranellos.

    The Enzo's tailights are really catching on. I don't understand why they made the 612, then make a variant of it to replace the 575?

    What are you talking about? Those aren't Enzo lights....

    Why wouldn't they make a varient of the 612 to replace the 575? Its a new platform, both are front mounted v12s. It seem natural to me...

    The 456 came out before the 550

    This car is great news for Aston Martin, Porsche, & Lambo

    That would be my prediction as well. Granted, still a heavily camouflaged, I suspect the car to have a nice long bonnet with a nice compact ass. That can't be wrong.

    The 612 is a 2+2 and is significantly different in characteristics than a 575M, or a "600 Imola" for that matter.
