On this occasion I will pass, as the last decent looking Ferrari was the 288 GTO, since when they have all been born rather slitty eyed.
Really?? Last time I looked at an 328, F40, 348, F355, 456, they didn't seem slitty eyed to me (or ugly for that matter). Perhaps you need have your eyes checked ;-) Granted the 288GTO is one of the best looking cars ever made and this one isn't attractive in camo'. It looked a lot better at the shows from the rear 3/4 angle especially, and I imagine it will look better on the road too.
From the front or front 3/4 angle however, I think its struggling.

The Mclaren F1 is a bag of nails, 0-60 in only 3 seconds, and a crap top speed of 241 mph, and it was only the fastest car in the world for about 13 years.Edited by Amirhussain on Thursday 8th August 20:12

My second ever car (first was an Austin 1100, with twin carb MG1300 engine ... who-hoo!!) was a blaze red two-door Allegro complete with square Steering to Human Interface Technology 
With countless hours of experience behind me, if Ferrari would like to lend me a LaFerrari for a few months i'd be only too glad to conduct some lengthy comparative testing for them.
ps ..... doesn't look twitchy to me, just being driven on the limit. Interesting to note, however, that it was right foot all the way for Senor Alonso.

Can we stop calling it 'the LaFerrari' and drop 'the'? It'll educate the masses and stop grating on those who know Italian.

Sure. McLaren F1 is a legendary car...but is there really anything else. Ferrari has all kinds of cars and all journos just want to drive them. Brit cars...not so much... F-type...just farts and ugly also not british
Sounds like it's the summer holidays in Finland too.
t!
On my previous comment about slitty eyed Ferrari's I accept the 355 is acceptable, the 328 was prior to the 288 so strike one. The 458 is a saloon strike 2, the 360, 430, 575, 599, F12 are all slitty eyed strike 7 and the 458 is a curious amalgam of stratos 2 inspired rear end and unhappy front with lego moveables. So i stick to my opinion excepting the 355.
Note to DuckAvenger....The Jaguar is British, it just has Mr Tata writing the cheques just as Ferrari's are written by Mr Fiat whereas McLaren's are written by Mr. Ron Dennis of F1 fame and head of McLaren an independent manufacturer not owned by a conglomerate, as is Pagani, Koeniggsegg, whereas Porsche Lamborghini and Bugatti & Audi are owned by VeeDub's Mr Piech and family.
Personally I would buy British as McLaren's are all upgradeable at the factory. My hi-fi is all British and upgradeable except for my Nakamichi 3 head cassette deck.
On an ultra cool note I rang SME to ask if my magnesium tone arm needed servicing as it was 15 years old, and was told, don't worry sir it will outlast you before it needs any attention-Rule Britannia!
Buy the P1 not the Lalala Ferrari

I think you should get your facts straight. The 328 was arguably made after the 288GTO programme ended.There may have been some overlap but the 288 was made from 1984-85 and the 328 was made from 85-87, so no stike there I am afraid. The 458 is not a 'saloon'. Its a supercar. The 456 is not a 'saloon' either. Its a GT. so no strike there. The 360 doesn't have slitty eyes, so no, you had it pretty much all wrong I am afraid.

Seriously, is this pistonheads?
