Each to their own
Though you need to compare it to the 488 on which it is based really

It's a bit Alfa Spider or Disco Volante...

indeed, it's personal taste.

i don't think the 488 is as nice as its predescessor either, i've only seen that at autosport intl last year so I wonder if it's sold well.

488's seem to be selling well but then you have the Ferrari demand regulation system at work
Not a fan of the interior of the 458/488/J50

Personally I'm not seeing that
Those two (both Alfas essentially) are fugly (IMHO)

that disco is ugly too unless referring to the 50s one which was the E-types ugly sister

that J50 looks a lot like a mishmash of various hypercars

458 speciale has a fantastic interior Carbon, suede or alloy inside

The crease running along the side from bumper to shoulder (if that makes sense?) was my point of reference

I found the Giulietta Spyder to be far prettier and less pretentious than the Dicso Volante. Which was also a sobriquet I gave for this Italian guy named Volante, since I thought he'd come from a different planet, not another country...

I'd probably still rather have an Evora Roadster than a J50, for pretty much the same reasons.
