The 599 GTB Fiorano looks A-OK to my eyes. Agreed that the California is a little awkward but I’ll wait to see one in the flesh.

The one modern Ferrari that I don’t like the look of is the F430/360 series. They look like gigantic plastic pedal cars.

It’s true, Ferrari has it’s own insanely gorgeous past to reckon with.

Heartedly agree, Ferrari seems to have lost its muse. The current mid-engined cars are attractive but not moving, but the front engined models…ah…are somewhat awkward. I like the 456, and though somewhat brutal in appearance the Marenello, but the cars that replaced them hold little aesthetic appeal. If Chevrolet were introducing the California as the next Corvette we’d credit them with doing a good job, but the bar is far higher for Ferrari.

Funnily enough, I didn’t mind the old Mondial.

That is some unharmonic Korea-manga styling. A boob like the old Mondial. Quite frankly I fail to see the need for another “small” Ferrari. Plus they do not follow their own dictum of “light and agile” for future cars with that thing.
