Way too busy. They ruined the new NSX the same way. Lines for the sake of lines. Overall a nice shape though.

Strange cowcatcher front end treatment. Still love the Ferrari's of the 1960's....

I like the shape but it's a little too oragami for me. Probably fast and functional but not beautiful.

don't like the nose and that black line fro door to nose at all
or the back end
or the side view
those wheels suck quite a bit too.
hell , even those exhaust tips look overdone.


I do like the roundness of the tires

Of course I couldn't afford a tune up on the bloody thing!

The sides look like it got "T" boned, but otherwise it is pretty nice looking albeit a tad over the top.

It's got a bit of an anime thing going on. Not my style but I can certainly understand the appeal.

I admit it is a bit overdone but that just seems to be the current style in sports cars:







We might as well wish for F1 cars that look like they came out of the 1960's -1970's

Way overdone. Japanese influence. What ever happened to this:

Looks a little guy Smiley.

I'd have to see it in person to form an opinion.

Kind of like a freaky red-head who doesn't know how to wear a thong.

I liked the 599 GTO, which had the beginnings of that organic look, and so did the Porsche GT-1 Evo. You can argue that the organic look had it's roots in the 908, or the 356 for that matter.

In moderation it's good, as in the second generation Cayman. The car that i really wish went to production was a study model that Harm Lagaay was holding.
