Still not a fan of the interior.

Yup you are right traxx - Chris Harris's evo review was better..!!

Plenty else for you to like though, surely.

As always I reserve judgement for in the flesh but I think it looks hideous in those on-the-road pics/videos. Interior the same.

Jesus, i've read more interesting washing machine manuals than that Autocar review.

Its a brand new Ferrari for God's sake! Show some enthusiasm!

Having seen it in the flesh, I found it just as hideous. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I like everything about this car apart from the sound, it sounds like any other V8, it could have done with more character.

In that case you need to tick the "Brian Blessed" option - an extra £12K IIRC

Same camp for me - not feeling it inside or out from a stylistic point of view, just does not gel at all.

I'm hoping the disappointment here is also felt by those with orders in the queue ahead of mine.

I think this is the first pretty V8 Ferrari have made since the F355. It's stunning in the flesh - and I'm gonna have to get one. I suprised that so many people think it's ugly/not for them - but that can only mean that the waiting list will get shorter for me...

I'm equally suprised people hark back to the 355, surely the 360CS is a beauty?

Personally I think it's one of the ugliest Ferraris of recent years.

I totally agree, I looks ridiculous in my opinion, but perhaps it isn't quite as vomit inducing in real life.
