i really like this car, it's very beautiful, the only thing I cannot get used to are those quad exhaust pipes, they just mess the whole rear.

I 100% agree with you. Also my only other dislike is the rims, Ferrari could have packaged better rims.

The car is almost perfect. But two things are here. First I am not sure about these exhaust tubes that way. Second is a color of interior. Is it a generation's taste we should live with, where tastful colors means color chart of eatibles in general, or it just a new barbarian era is about to come?

I think that this is the baby Ferrari and as such it slits in lower than the F430

This ride is awesome. For some reason, I like the smaller Ferrari's looks more than the big ones, like the 360 and the F430.

A convertible hard top? Talk about a well crafted design. It's beautiful. Although, it wouldn't be my first choice in picking a Ferrari (thinking performance over looks), it could be a close third. It's not for every Ferrari aficionado, but overall, I think it will attract more customers who probably wouldn't really consider owning a Ferrari in the first place.

I don't like this car, i could see it more like a maserati than a ferrari. Too soft for a ferrari.

This car is 100% gorgeous, 100% Ferrari. My advice to anyone who doesn't love it - don't buy one.

apart from the fussy rear and uninspiring alloys its pretty sexy. Classic GT proportions, looks like a 550 Maranello somewhat.
Surely iis the new entry level Ferrari?

I agree, somehow I see some lines and the hood scoop similarly to the 550 Maranello, and the profile looks like the silhuette of an extended 360 Modena.... the grill from a 599 GTB, and it makes it look great. Don't know about the IS-F exhaust pipes, not to keen on them. But the shape looks classy and well proportioned. You could have the best of open motoring in the shape of a sexy GT. It looks more beautiful than the F430 which is seriously form following function.

Looks more and more like an Alfa and Maserati....not a bad thing though, still looks nice!

the construction of the exhaust pipes is an accomodation to the package - they fitted this car with a convertible hardtop - which needs lot of space - and there is also a diffusor. it's definitely NOT a gimmick like on the lexus IS-F.

Good point you are making... Ferrari hardly makes something without thinking of a real design & performance reason...

It is an "entry level car" get look at the Manettino-there only 3 positions "drive me as a sport car"; "drive me as a race car" and "drive me nuts".

lol, I agree... it is perhaps for amateur Ferrari owners who wouldn't be too comfortable dealing with more seettings like in the F430 and 599GTB.
I would rename them "drive to the mall", "pretend I'm a good driver", "suicide mode"

Good car, great engine but the F430 is cheaper and faster than this car will be...so this car would only reallyserve a purpose for the uber-rich who will buy a car mainly because of its rarity and its "standing".
