somewhere past halfway thru the video, the Ferrari passes a set of dead ass bull horns on the side of the road. hmm

Looks like a tricked out Mazda MX-3. Oh well, it's not too bad, but doesn't look nearly as good as the most beautiful auto ever made... the 575M Maranello.

the rear end styling doesnt look right to me (cheap enzo rip off anyone?) (and yes ... i realize it's a theme they are trying to keep, but i dont like how the nights work out) ... and also the new "nostrils" .. that's why i like the modena so much more .. this one ... visually is not appealing ... at all .. worse than the scagletti 612...

I'm not so big on the front end. Doesn't look like a Ferrari to me.

I expect than in a few years Ferrari will abandon the concept of 'bodywork' altogether - as it increasingly intrudes on the performance/mechanical aspect of their cars.

The soul of a car is probably more important than its heritage or specification sheet. Ferrari is delusional. What more can be said?

It's a beautiful car. No doubt about it. (The Ferrari) I don't like the Lamborghini's lines too much. A little too much etch in it for my tastes.

back end is sweet. i've seen these floating around. a pic is a pic, i'm waiting for the real deal to be announced. would be sweet to see how it does. i like the gallardo look a lot though. i just wish it had scissor doors and more stylish wheels... not that i'm in their target audience though

not a broke ass, or a kid ... more of a disenchanted person with no direction in life..

The likes of Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, and Michael Schumacher have really tainted the name of Ferrari in the last couple of years. Enzo would roll over in his grave if he knew what was happening to his proud racing company.

=) .. atleast a minoring in prickage ... hehe. here we are talking about cars and you have to make a personal insult after "I" point out that i'm not in their target audience. this after you post an image of a lamborghini that isnt confirmed yet (talk about day dreaming) .. =( ... but if u meant it as a joke .. i'm not that thinned skinned .. lol
