F430 doesn't do it for me...

Those scoops just aren't right. Ferrari has pushed the 'bar' right past the edge of good taste. Now that 'bar' hasn't turned into the 'ugly stick' yet, but the Enzo is close!

Technologically...bellisima.

I have to admit, it looks way too sexy in the side shot. The way the curves blend together. Mmm.. from other perspectives it is interestingly Ferrari, but doesn't flow as well as the side.

The side shot looks like a Ferrari from the A pillar forward but that back end looks like an elongated late model MR2

I'm sure that the rear view is all I'd ever see at the track, so perhaps that's all that matters.

liggy, I'll give you that. The side view works.

Chazmo -

Glad to hear you haven't completely taken leave of your senses. j/k

That profile is just pure sex.

The snout and scoops are ungainly but I'm sure that once you see and hear a few in person it'll grow on you.

The diffuser is really cool - and as fast as that car is that'll be my only (track) view of the 430 for sure.

George!
