The interior appears to have the same 'parts tacked on' styling that the new Cali has...which I didn't find to be attractive in person.

355 please return! You are very missed.
I really wanted to like this but it just looks to much, it looks more like a 'tunning' exercise than a production car, it's unbereable from every corner, it's almost kitch, the front is to low, the back is to high, two litle red spots in the corners pretending to be rear lights, 3 exausts ala F40 (i can just picture a couple of 10 year olds comming up with that ideia). Is the automotive industry really out of lines and ideias that they have to come up with uninteresting designs full of 'where once great' details?
Just make a big Ferrari logo next time and put some wheels on it, it'll sell just the same.

The three exhausts have a technical explanation: at low revs only the central one is functional for the whole engine.
Once the revs go up, each catalyst gets his own exhaust, and the central one is closed.
The could have done this differently of course, but with turbos going to come back shortly in the Ferrari's line-up, calling back their most iconic turbocharged car with a styling choice isn't such a bad idea.
That said, I don't think I like them right now.

it's bloody awful, 355>430>this thing. Ferrari's styling is becoming worse and worse.

i really cant decide on this car... at first it seems so wrong, and silly looking. and i really thought i was going to hate it. but i dont. for all of the hard time we have been giving ferrari for looking too retro, this is exactly the opposite, very modern. i dont find it beautiful, but there is obviously a lot of form following function going on in the design.
its not exactly the easiest shape to digest, but neither was the enzo, f50, f40, etc. give it time, it will grow on you all im sure.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.

Nope, don't like it.
The F40 and F50 were different cars, stylistically speaking. Much easier cars on the eyes, in my opinion.

This car has the right ingredients as far as the overall shape is concerned, but what the heck is with the Gallardo'ish headlights? Not cool at all.
360 Modena is still the prettiest girl in late Ferrari town. One very good thing to come from the newer models is that they will keep pushing the residual value on the 360 down lower and lower. *sigh of gratitude*

The side view is very nice, the top pretty good too. The back and front ends look like a superhero that is still in his teenage years.. as in you know by looking at it that it's a supercar, but it looks Hot-Wheels designed.
