Good job the shot wasn't of the front, would have been even more shocked!!

    IMO, the 612 isn't hideous as a Car. But as a Ferrari, it most certainly is.
    On a Good day, Chris Bangle designs the Fiat Coupe.
    On a Bad day, he designs a BMW.

    Yup, i have to agree with you. The sketch looks much better. I dont hate this car but the design is very disappointing. Seriously, what were they THINKING?!

    Jup.. Don't like it that much either.. It's too soft.. I like the composition of the car though.. But then again.. The back is far far too round.. One sharp edge and it would already be so much better..
    All I need: Audi S8 & Porsche 911 Carrera S

    That is this one. Please don't make me post the next "familiar car" in the background, otherwise I will end up posting all my Tour Auto pics

    It's perhaps one of the ugliest, possibly made uglier by the car that preceded it- the 456. It does look terrible in red, better in dark mets.

    I know that I wouldn't go as low as buying one. Looks like a last-gen Supra that was melted.

    It's OK but not great

    I find the 612 OK. I've seen one in the flesh at the motor show and I liked it. The photos seem to make the car uglier than what it really is in my opinion. I agree with most comments that Ferrari could have done a better job with this car. One thing that I am glad about is that Ferrari came up with a new design and not just a re-vamped 456. Unfortunately, we have to wait probably 5+ years for the replacment to the 612.

    the 612 looks much better in real car.. pictures just doesn't show its beauty..
    although i still liked the 456 more... 612 is not a bad car by any chance.. may be it's just that we got used to seeing Ferrari as two-seaters..
    i think the 550 (575) is worse.. :P never liked the front air intake...

    the best looking regular Ferrari ever i think is F355
