    The pictures aren't great. Watch the end of this video, you'll see a blue one out of its camo. This really did it for me:

    That's right.
    Let's wait for real pictures to pass the final judgment.
    When first official pics of the 599 (remember these ugly red pics?)
    appeared ,they met universal disdain on this very site too....

    I like manufacturers that step outside their comfort zones. My favorite Lamborghini concept car is the Estoque. So that said, I wouldn't mind a 200mph SUV! Also, I play the double bass, so I like cars with space in them. :) But seriously, this car is by no means ugly. You can't compare it to a 458. It's a hell of a lot prettier than a Panamera...


    There ya go. :) Maybe it's a youth thing. John and Andreas, you're just too old! :D :rolleyes:

    I don't mind the concept of a Ferrari "Shooting Brake", I just don't like the 370Z headlights. From the profile/rear it's not too bad.

    No. It is a taste thing.

    Sorry to be so blunt. You can call me a snob, I don't care.

    Somebody has to point out that the Emperor is not wearing any clothes at all. Although I'm pretty sure our common hero Mr. Clarkson is gonna have a field day with this Blutwurst on wheels.

    Those are some of the best shots I've seen of a 599 GTO, the car must of sounded great in the cold temperature!

    Anyway, I don't have a pic (I know in the Ontario section in Canada a lot of the F-chatters don't just like a laundry list of cars spotted without any pics so I try to do my best), but I saw a white LP570-4 SL yesterday on Michigan and Ontario on my way home from Joe's stone crab (a great place for dinner too! First timer for me)

    Well I don't think you can form such a strong opinion about a car until you've seen it in person. Who knows, I might hate it when I see it in the flesh. But as near as I can tell, this is an excellent successor to the 612. But then again, you dislike the 612 so it's no surprise that you also dislike the replacement. :D This is a car that you have to take at face value. It's not anywhere near as good looking as a 458, but it's not that type of car. It's not as in your face, it's classy.



    Thanks! Much appreciated. Yes, it sounded quite good when he revved it up. :)

    Ok.... I went out hunting for the Vanquish. Literally 10 seconds after I left my office the same ACR from a week ago drove by, and this time I got a picture :) Fortunately the Vanquish was also a BGC car so I was able to get some shots of it as well. They had a green LP560-4 SL, black DBS Volante, and white LP560-4 outside.

    A white LP560-4 Spyder also drove by. The very last picture is the old Spyder he upgraded from which I spotted back in March.
