 Most of everything new is plain ugly...only the Astons and 
 maybe the shape of the Murci are "attractive".
 The 430? No thanks. The 612 and 599 are atrocious.
 The 997 TT? What is that thing?
 The new M3? Looks like a fat chick I dated for 3 days in 
 1992. The M6 looks like her mother.
 The Skyline GTR is one of the ugliest "sporty" cars I've seen 
 in a long time.
 While at the Ferrari dealership recently, there was a 430 
 Scuderia parked next to a 365 GTC/4. 
 While the Scuderia was being mobbed by 14 yr olds, I pulled 
 my pants down and attempted to mount the Azzuro California C4 
 with polished Borranis.
 It's definitely not a case of the "good old days"...as I 
 wasn't even born when the C4 came out.

 I am inclined to agree with the author. I do think the 360 is 
 far more graceful than the 430 and I love the old stuff.

 NYT article (sans pictures), for those who might be interested.
 November 10, 2008, 3:37 pmAre Ferraris Losing Their Good 
 Looks?By Richard Chang Gavin Green of Car magazine in Britain 
 raised an issue I’ve thought about quite a bit lately: that 
 Ferraris “aren’t gorgeous anymore.”Mr. Green took issue with 
 the fat rear end of the new California model, but didn’t stop 
 there. “The 612 is fussy and ill-proportioned,” he said. “The 
 Enzo is more bug than bird. Even the F430 lacks the visual 
 grace and profile poetry of the old F355, the last lovely 
 Ferrari.”Mr. Green points to its recent Formula One drivers, 
 Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen, both staid 
 individuals, and asks: Has Ferrari lost that innate Italian 
 coolness?More likely, it has to do with aerodynamics. And Mr. 
 Green recounts a recent conversation with Luca di 
 Montezemolo, president of Ferrari. “He said the styling was 
 dictated by aerodynamics and the need to keep a Ferrari glued 
 to the road at 180-plus,” Mr. Green writes. “That’s why the 
 Enzo is all wedge and scoops and slats and chunky lines. That 
 big fat rump of the California — more bustle bum than bikini 
 bottom — helps aero performance, or so Luca says.”It hasn’t 
 helped that a whole slew of beautiful vintage Ferraris were 
 on the auction block this year, including Steve McQueen’s 
 1963 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso and this 1961 250 California 
 Spyder once owned by James Coburn:They don’t design them like 
 the 1961 Ferrari 250 California Spyder 
 anymore.______________________________________________________
