Sure, you thought all Ferrari's are the shizzit. That was until you saw this newest one which puts all previous Ferrari's of the last 50 years to shame. THIS is what a Ferrari is supposed to look like. Instant classic.

This thread is a joke, right? I mean come on, that thing is as scrawny as Chuck Norris is buff. It reminds me of a lizard. As the British say, it's bloody terrible!

But it does look like a nice step up/transition from the 430. Pininfarina does it again, looking forward to the unveiling.

Man, you Ferrari fan-boys are ridiculous! Ferrari could release an AMC Pacer, but as long as it had the Ferrari badge, you people would go crazy for it.

I may... possibly... like the outside design better than the new Camero/Charger/Mustang look.
I like the front shape. I found this neat too. (http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/p/948/supercar-runs-on-water) The look of the car I mean.

Doesn't it look like an McLaren F1?

Lol. I love it when I cause a feud. Ok I was exaggerating a bit, I admit it. I had just come off an episode of Top Gear which obviously had gone to my head. :~)
But seriously, No I'm no Ferrari fanboy. I'm not a fan of the Enzo or 599 styling at all. Keep in mind I'm not talking about performance, strictly the artistic design. Enzo is to 80s sci fi and kinda thrown together. The 599 is just another expensive sports car. The 430 is pretty slick, but it still looks like a Modena with a new body kit. It's athletic, aggressive, but not really sexy.
The new California isn't bad, but its still a run of the mill design. It's a sports car, but still quite conservative in flavor. The 550 is too soft and pudgy looking. Also has a goofy expression. You could put a Mazda badge on that one. I could keep going and really only find a handful of really unique designs where Ferrari really stepped up their game.
The Ferrari name is supposed to stand for the elite of the elite, with the kind of styling of a Guggenheim art sculpture, this is the best I've seen from Ferrari that I can think of to match that. It's got the goods to play every angle. It's athletic, aggressive, yet it can also be very sexy. It just looks lightweight. It has the kind of long flowing sculpture that only concept cars get. You can run thins thing on the race track and then park it in front of any black bow tie event you can think of that same night.
You should only argue over cars you can actually afford.

Well thank goodness there is no law saying I can't do so.

Technically, if there was a small payment/month plan for many many many years... most people could probably afford anything. ;)
My problem is there is no more room in the driveway for another car! LOL!

No it's not. It's actually based on an F1 car aesthetics. You should look at an F1 car and compare the front to the Enzo.
The only difference is that the Enzo is a road car, hence it needed to have all the extra street stuff like fenders, headlights, and so on...
Enzo is by far the most superior road Ferrari in terms of aerodynamics (as it is based on an F1 exterior design).
And no offense to exotic cars, but this is no longer the age of exotics. Everyone is now looking for cheaper alternatives. Japanese cars and American cars are the ones to go if you want "performance" but cannot afford European exotics.
I would actually prefer a Chevy Corvette over a Ferrari anytime, and a Mitsubishi Evolution over a Lamborghini.
By the way you should watch the YouTube vid of TopGear featuring a Lamborghini Murcielago vs Mitsubishi Evolution. The Lambo couldn't even outrun the Evo. And worse, the Lambo even spun.
