Not been a fan of the looks of this car from magazines but I happen to work near a ferrari dealers and was early for work so had a look through the window.

They had a Black one in My god what a car. not sure if its because ive got used to the shape(that often seems to happen) or just that its very colour sensitive

Yes, saw an anthracite one yesterday with US plates, really nice car. Much MUCH better than on pictures.

The scag is beautiful, I love long bonnet Ferrari's and this one is no exception. It does take a little bit of getting used to but if you catch it at the right angle its very slinky and nicely proportioned. That interior is just dreamy. We can but hope they drop in price as fantastically as the 550's!

I had the same blase attitude toward the Enzo design, my first thoughts were, "Oh my God, oh no what have they done, waited 10 years for an ugly box." Now of course its simply a design masterpiece, unique to be behold and just so damn right from every angle. I got a model Enzo for Christmas and being able to view it in my hand, to appreciate the overall picture is really a beautiful thing. I will never doubt Ferrari's or whatever coachbuilder they entrust, instincts ever again.

Slighly off topic, but my feelings on the 430's rear end are not ecstatic. After watching the 360, its poise and squat from the rear I find it hard to view the 430 the same way, it just looks to high and busy. I'm sure it will be a grower though, I just like simplicity and I've yet to see it on a track.

They also had a 430 in covered apart from the rear. Must say it did remid me off the Enzo a little. Not as smooth as the 360 and yes it did look a little fussy from the small area I could see.

there is a 612 that lives at my place, in silver.

I think its looks like a Peugeot

Its just missing that quintessential 'WOW' imho.

But meh, what do I know
