Re: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
I like it too. I think it is much nicer than the 456 it is replacing.

I agree, it does look better than the 456, but I still dont like it to much.

Re: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Was never a huge fan of the 456.
When I saw the scallops on this a few months ago, the first thing I thought of was Bangle and his "flame surfacing" on the Z4.

Re: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Looks like they back-halved the Maranello and added a combo of a Porsche 911/Ford Thunderbird on the front. Everyone is ripping shit off nowadays, and not changing their own designs, just modifying the existing ones.

I agree. If the badge on the car didn't say Ferrari I'd probably walk right by it in a parking lot and not even notice it.

Re: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
I actually like the 456. A neighbor of mine that owns a 550 told me about the 612 and really seemed to like it, but looking at the body I think the 456 looks better than the new 612. The 612 looks to have TVR front end and a 550/575 rear end.

Re: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
I don't hate it, but like was said before, if it didn't have the Ferrari badge I would walk right past it in a parking lot. It just has a bland look to it IMO that doesn't say "Ferrari". Not much of a 456 person either, but the 575 is beautiful.
