_________________________________________________________________Well, I suppose I am the odd one out amongst all of you guys, because I think the grill is one of the best aspects of this car and I like the modern interpretation of it.
The traditional aluminum plate grill just wouldn’t fit the look of the rest of the car. It’s a good step forward into the 21st century.
The eggcrate grill didn’t grace all Ferraris. Even going back to the beginning with Vignale doing all of the coachwork, only a handful of those used an eggcrate grille, most sporting outlandish chrome designs. Most of the racecars didn’t use them, just wire mesh or nothing at all.

I have to admit that I am not a big fan of the Roma. And my family is Roman. The grille just seems odd to me.

My impression of car design nowadays is that they’ve run out of ideas and are just doing outlandish for outlandish’s sakes. You could get away with that back in the ‘80s as it was that last coke-fueled hoorah left over from the 1970s spaceship school of design.
It’s why I really appreciate the look of the new Roma. It’s a really nice clean shape that introduces new features to the traditional elements that (maybe) Ferrari had been hanging onto for too long. Without all of the extra stuff that seems to have become de rigueur (slats, slashes, scoops, creases, etc). This car has really grown on me in just a short time since it’s introduction.
My Mondial gets compliments every time I park it somewhere. People are shocked when I tell them it’s 32 years old...

Lash posted “All wonderful designers and shapes.” List
Good list Lash . . .
Sports car design in general – lets take Porsche and Ferrari as sports cars on the same continuum.
Porsche does it’s “Form Follows Function” schtick and says “like it or leave it.”
Ferrari designs the sexist most bodacious beauty’s and then asks – where do we put the gas tank(s)? Passengers? Luggage . . . .
Gotta love our 308GTS, exceptin’ for changing sparkplugs, carrying Hershey bars in my luggage, doing a suspension over haul . . . .
Cheers
Doug
