I'm no fan of Ferraris, but that's a pretty handsome car. Except for the side mirrors.

There was a Ferrari California like the one seen in the movie "Ferris Beuler's Day Off" that just sold at auction for a little over 10 million USD. I think that it was a 62 model and was first owned by actor James Coburn. Beautiful car, great ROI too! I wonder if this style will sell for that much more in 46 years.

I personally think that car is hideously overstyled.

It looks like an angry MR2 . . . or a formerly attractive older woman who has had one too many facelifts . . .

Step away from the drafting table Lorenzo . . .

But couldn't you have said that in 1973 about the Dino as well?

Absolutely not! That car is extremely clean apart from the turn signals, which look tacked on to me. But most everything else is pure sex. Very strong and clean lines on that car.

Really???? Different strokes for different folks . . . 430 looks much more cohesive and coherent to me . . .
