    Ferrari: 90s and early 2000s vs Modern

    Simple, which era of Ferrari do you prefer?

    EDIT: This is meant to be visually only, I really shoulda mentioned that.

    As much as it kills my point from the coachbuilding thread, i do like 90's Ferrari's better.

    That can be done later, this is specifically to determine if people think Ferraris are increasing in beauty at present.

    I don't think it kills your point at all.

    It''s just you prefer that era.

    i personally like the way its going. i dont think ferrari has lost their originality. you can still be excited for the next concept and not be disappointed by the usual supercar

    I'm going to go out there and suggest the 360 counts as a modern one, and I prefer the 288, Testarossa (512TR specifically), F40, 355, 456, group that's not up there.

    I personally have been turned away from recent Ferrari styling. The 355 was an absolute masterpiece of artwork as were the F50, 550, and 575. The new ones seems to be a bit out of proportion (ie. The F430 rear end) or a bit bug eyed IMHO. The attractiveness has steadily decreased and I would definitely not buy a new Ferrari if I had the funds. I would be picking up an LP640 over any of the recent Ferrari's.

    This is hard for me. Ferrari's are kind of the first cars I fell in love with, specifically the 550 and the 355. At first I didn't really like the 360 it took me a while to get into it. I used to like the 456 but now it seems a tad outdated. I like some of the recent stuff, it is still very Ferrari. I'll go with the Modern.

    I think the 456/550/575/superamerica are pretty boring, the 355, 360, 430, and 599 are the standout ferrari's for me.

    The F355 is for me the second best looking Dino ever. And the 456 is the most elegant Ferrari for a long time. So I guess it's the 90's for me.

    definately modern. much better executed, more functional form, more exciting imo. out of direct competitors, imo only 456 is better looking than 612.

    imo today's ferrari design is second to glamourous style of end of 50's/beginning of 60's

    The modern era takes it for me because I really do not like the 456 or the F50, but to me all the cars from the modern option are all good cars.

    I personally love the 288 GTO. It tops my list of Ferraris. For the two chosen eras, I prefer the early 90s to 2000s. The 575M is my favourite recent Ferrari.
