    Ferrari 456/456M or 550/575M

    Yes, another Ferrari poll. Sry if they seem distracting, but i just want everyone's opinions . This time, its the 456 versus the 550/575M. A completely different approach, as the 550/575M are strict-2 seaters that are fun to drive, or the more relaxing 456/456M, which may be a little slower but you have 2 extra seats to take 2 more friends (though I have to admit the 550/575M is alot sexier looking ). Again, vote based on which one of the 2 would fit better into your lifestyle and which of the 2 you would prefer driving on a daily basis. Happy voting.

    Pic 1: 456/456M
    Pic 2: 550 Maranello
    Pic 3: 575M Maranello

    I like the 456, if only because it marked the return of the classic GT cars, after the exuberance of the Testarossas.

    me too. the 550/575's design isn't as classic as the 456, which was inspired by the daytona

    But it's beautiful while the Supra is one of the ugliest things to ever come from Japan.

    The 456 was one of the last truly beautiful Ferraris in my eyes.

    I have to say, the 612 that succeeded it was a slap in the face, design-wise.

    The 550 is utterly beautiful, but the 456 is beautiful and also suits my style more- I would need the 4 seats and the relaxed nature. I'd turn up to fancy dinners in it.

    The 550 looks like an enlarged 80s Nissan Z-car. I like th 612 more than most, but the 456 is really pretty in the metal.

    The 456 would fit into my lifestyle better. I love being able to throw my stuff onto the seats behind me. Wouldn't be able to do that with the Maranellos. I wouldn't buy a Ferrari to suit my lifestyle though, I would buy an Audi for my lifestyle. I would buy a Ferrari for what my heart wants, and in that case it would be the 550. I like its front a bit more than the 575M.

    Not in my opinion.

    But....

    Getting back to the topic, I'd take the 575M, especially in Superamerica trim. Yum....

    You must be blind because I can't even see how the Supra even remotely influenced the 550 design.

    For me, the Maranello, primarily the 550.

    BTW, you must have some small friends as the 456M seats aren't much bigger than a 8 Series.
