I do not like the styling.
There are no simple underlying flowing lines, no substance behind all the bumps and intakes.
Ferrari styling once again does not impress.

If you didn't like the 599 to begin with, you probably wouldn't have liked this one either.Originally Posted by f6fhellcat13

Do you mean 599 in general? or this one in particular? Because this one doesn't look too different from the standard 599.Yeah, if ever proof was needed that Ferrari do have one good looking car, Ferrari have just shown us this.. Shame everything else looks crap

Looking at the side view pic, the 599 is just absolutely gorgeous. The lines flow so incredibly well.
And I'm not a Ferrari fanboy.

The 599 is the first truly gorgeous Ferrari since the days of the 355 and the 550 Maranello. I do love the 360 Modena though, but the 599 wins in the looks department since the turnaround.
(The turnaround being the general design change that started with the 360 and has continued to present day.)
i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

599's looks aren't exactly what i'd call beautiful, i like how it's aggressive and angry, but gorgeous does not fit this car

599 I think is a very suitable replacement of 550 as a whole. By 575M time 550 definitely started to be dated and 599 really kinda carries on the theme that 612 started and give it that athletic edge to it much in the same way 550 is to the 456....Lots of past Ferrari cue as well, favorite being the flying buttress....

It's amazing what a good set of wheels and a different aero kit does to a design.
This looks surprisingly good.

Well it's a harder edged version of the standard car. More of a sportscar, less of a GT.
Would have to drive them both, but I'd probably stick with the standard 599, if I were to have one.

the 575M with the same package was much faster on tracks
and the 612 equipped with the same package isn't that bad in comfort during long trips.
I like the rims, but I would stick with the standard car, I guess.

599 in general.

i'd probably do the same i guess - get a 430 if i needed more sportscar perhaps. it does look nice though.
