If it looks like that photo it will continue the downward trend in Ferrari styling. The 360 was a high point, the 430 was a derivative and basically a negative derivative in all aspects. If that is close to the final version, it looks like the 500 will be a 430 that's been boy racered.
BTW, none of what I said applies to how good the car is under the skin. I have no doubt the 430 is better than the 360 under the skin. I'm only talking about visual appeal which in the case of a Ferrari is a big deal.

I used to feel the same about the 430 the way you did. But after seeing them side, by side, the 430 just made the 360 look dated. Sexy, but still dated aestheticaly. This was further reinforced when Ken Okuyama (chief designer for Pininfarina) pointed out the design differences in our automotive design class.
